Get your facts right..it was Bea not Freddie.
I said Bea and Freddie, she said it and he sat there nodding and laughing.Usually when someone nods that means they agree.


He nods at everything. He was laughing AT her. His next comment was. "You`re very good at putting people down Bea." Said with a touch of disdain.

Nod Hug I very seldom have a "row" on here,Im a very fair person imo. I did say it was awful to watch and very nasty when Halfwit was indeed being targeted at the start of BB10. I then started to like Charlie, who I have also now gone off. I said the other day there is only a handful of hms who I still like. I do still like Siavash, and hated what Noirin did to him, but then I think about his girlfriend on the outside and how she mustve felt, which takes away his brownie points! I certainly think this years hm have made us at home watching it a bit Crazy at times tho!! Nod


Absolutely Nod I get so wrapped up in the whole show and it takes over the summer for me. I love how I can really like a housemate one minute then the next they say something or do something that I don't like and it all changes. With Freddie I started off feeling sorry for him (I hated the other HM's treatment of him). I've got to say that in real life he'd bug me. I still quite like him as a housemate but all that Hmmmm-ing gets on my nerves and I'm never sure what's behind that grin! As for the rest of them .. well how long you got Laugh Laugh

Actually - I don't even know who I want to win right now. Confused
Towno :)
Can I please just point out that someone who doesn't approve of what they see as 'snobbery' is not therefore per se an 'inverted snob.'
I, for e.g. don't approve up some of the behaviour of the hms, irrespective of their social class, wealth etc. I don't like nastiness, nor people looking down their noses at others or mocking them, again irrespective of social status.
Just a thought, but haven't heard anyone being called an 'inverted snob' for criticising Bea's behaviour Confused

Just to make it clearer what he said, having been informed by other FM's. He said he had to claim the dole for a short time before he started at college and the amount was so low it was little more than pocket money. He felt it was a derisory amount to be handing out to people and Dave agreed with him.
Shake Head he never said anything like that! He said it was a bit of pocket money and laughed!!! Mad Had he said, "I dont know how people, who are not lucky enough to be in my position, manage to live on that small amount week in week out" then I wouldnt have made the comment!!


He did NOT laugh at all. You need to look at the video again, instead of inventing stuff.

He didn`t say it was a bit of pocket money TO HIM. He said it was like pocket money, meaning how low the amount of money is when your signing on. More or less extremley difficult to surive on. Which is true and David agreed...

The words YOU wanted him to say are not what he said but the meant the same thing, apart from YOU wanting him to refer to his "position" I take it a you mean privileged? Can you not see that?

This twisting of the conversation is nothing more than inverted snobbery, Lisa style.

It`s pathetic.
Well, he was certainly smiling with an inane grin on his face. Just because you like Halfwit,and I dont, dont try and make me believe what you want to believe he was saying. As someone else commented earlier, did you actually watch it. You pick me up for saying he laughed, when it might have just been a grin. And "more or less difficult to survive on" were not words he said and the way he spoke does not equate in anyway to him saying this!!!


Yes I did watch it. You said "he laughed!!! Mad" now you`re saying he was smiling with an inane grin. Make your mind up.

Me liking Freddie has nothing at all to do with my opinion on the conversation. I wouldn`t in anyway expect or want to reverse your opinion of the conversation. The words he used suit the inverted snobbery argument, I see the bigger picture and the real meaning behind them, just like David did.
Sleepy and I saw the real meaning too. It wasnt the same as yours!! Crazy


Your Sleepy and Crazy suggests you can`t cope with differing opinions or debating.

I`ll leave you to your funny faces. Wave

I agree nothing to do with snobbery it's due to behaviour if you dislike a housemate. I voted for Kerry Katona to win IACGMOOH along with my mom when we had free texts on our phone Blush Laugh.

I think he was trying to appear cool and "one of the people" by declaring he had been on the dole. As to "pocket money", I think he was saying simply that it wasn't very much. I actually think he was trying to appear sympathetic with people who have to go on the dole.


He failed miserabley then.

I disagree a little there, I have also been on Freddies side sometimes and said so on this forum, however in this instance it came accross very wrong to me but that is my opinion each to their own.
