Times Running Out - Get Your Vote in Now

Times running out to get your vote in for who you want to see back in the Big Brother house. 4 of the previously evicted housemates will be going back to the house next door where later the Housemates in the main house will choose from these 4, 1 housemate to join them in the main house.

Pete’s pining for Nikki so if she’s chosen to go in the house next door then there’s a good chance that will be his choice to join them.

The ex-housemate who does end up in the main house will be eligible to win the £100,000 prize and it will be interesting to see if the housemates in the main house are told this before they make their choice for who’s going to join them.

This could be where the game play would begin. Let’s face it, if you were in the main house would you choose someone you thought the public would vote to win or choose a safe bet who you thought couldn’t win. I know what I would do.

The housemates you can nominate to go back in are:

Grace
Jayne
Lea
Lisa
Michael
Mikey
Nikki
Sam
Spiral
Susie

Sezer and Bonnie aren’t being allowed to go back in.

So if you want your favourite ex-housemate to go back in better get your vote in now. I’m routing for Nikki although ultimately I hope Pete wins.

Well I’ve finally done what I have set out to achieve. Eighteen days and 37 posts after setting myself a target of getting in the top 10 results for my name “Philip Nicosia” I have finally made the top spot in Google with this site www.philipnicosia.com.

I’m also number 1 in MSN.com for the same search term but Yahoo! is a different story altogether.

I briefly made an appearance at No. 3 in Yahoo! but have since been relegated to the Number 23 slot. What’s going on there?

The most surprising thing I see in Yahoo! is the number 1 result “Compare prices for Philip Nicosia - DVD-Video. Read dvd-video reviews and compare prices at Yahoo! Shopping.” leading to a virtually blank page with my name on it and a blank section titled “Popular Films by Philip Nicosia”.

Maybe there is a film maker named Philip Nicosia that I’ve never heard of? It’s not me unless of course you include home movies such as this one.

It will be interesting to see if my results improve in Yahoo! soon.

The Sony UX180P comes with 2 Built-in Cameras (front: 0.3M pixels and back: 1.3M pixels) which although handy is not much better than a modern mobile phone.

I personally wouldn’t use it in preference to a digital camera but it can be quite useful in situations where you’ve left behind the camera and you need to take a quick picture or video.

Below is a small video taken with the UX180P of our pet rabbit Bugs.

This is a slightly blown up version of the original but does give an idea of what to expect. What surprised me was the amount of background noise picked up by the built in microphone. What you can hear on the film is the fan or maybe hard disk or a combination of the two. In the reality of using the UX180P you wouldn’t actually notice these sounds.

In a previous post I mentioned that Davina had said for “legal reasons” Bonnie and Sezer weren’t going to be allowed to go back in the house as part of Channel 4’s decision to put 4 of the evicted housemates back into the house next door.

Well I wasn’t sure why this was so I did a little digging around and have found the answer to my own question.

Apparently as reported on Sky News, Sezer was arrested by the police and due to answer bail on the 17th August.

Bonnie meanwhile is on police bail over Pizza theft claims according to the Daily Record.

So if like me you didn’t know the reasons before, now you do.

Added a new photo gallery to the site yesterday. There’s not much to see yet but I’ll be uploading loads of pictures over the next few weeks.

For now I have included some cute pictures of the pets and some shots taken from around where I live.
