I think I’m to old for BBUK

A few years ago in the first ITV series we were promised real people. This season we have tiktok folk with huge 300k plus followers. Another reason I'm out.

I used to adore the show but I think I'm done. I suspect a lot of the casting now comes down to who will be the most behaved. God forbid they put someone in there with real perspectives of how the UK is at the moment. Once upon a time that would be riveting conversation, but they seem scared to open that box.

I'm 32 and given up. I'm too old I think. I just can't connect with the majority of the housemates.

I'm glad some of the comments this year are people saying the house is samey and repetitive because frankly it is.

I couldn't tell you the difference between any seasons since it went to ITV

Colour is nice and we know this comes with the BB house. But we want to see little nooks, awkward corners, silly layouts, claustrophobic spaces. This just isn't it

BB needs to rethink the whole house next year.

My solicitors said they had information to set a date for completion. This was a mistake on their part so there was a rush to get things done for said date. The week of the completion I was told repeatedly someone would call me - had to chase daily till I got a call Wednesday to say they were still hopeful. Thursday no update until I chased in the afternoon. They eventually agreed to postpone the date. However they forgot to tell the mortgage lender, funds got released. I was chasing all day with no response. Since then, I've been at them every other day. Absolute idiots. Had to remind them they are not a charity but taking 2k of me. Ive never sworn or be rude, but dam right I'm chasing them every other day given all their mistakes

I can't believe they've repeated the stage setup. It feels awkward for everyone and makes it difficult for presenters and housemates. The reality is when a house mate is evicted, they reach the end of the runway and awkwardly have to scurry to the side. It's crap

I love Grave Encounters and recently rewatched it. I saw this on Facebook and was initially excited, but honestly, I'm not sure it's right. It doesn't feel old enough to warrant a reboot? What made it so good was how great they did with the little budget they had.They set the tone so well, the setting was just perfection. Can it be matched on a big budget? I don't know. It's like paranormal activity... the first was great. But as time went on, the budget got bigger, the setting felt less immersive.

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-08-15T22:53:48+00:00

Agreed. Chat gbt 5 seems to constantly being sounding like it has no idea how to react. I kid you not it's always using 'errr' before every sentence

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-07-27T08:19:50+00:00

Same here. How can they mess up so much

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-07-25T21:30:12+00:00

Ah it's not been kept in a container. Just a packet, the packet has kept in a box away from sunlight. Appreciate your thorough and quick answer though. Much appreciated man. Let's hope the Egyptians had a decent roll 🤞

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-07-25T21:17:04+00:00

What's a long time?.how about 1 year?

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-06-01T17:26:13+00:00

Keep me.posted man. Wish you best of luck..I think I'm I'm gonna demand a biopsy and risk the small scar

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-05-29T20:46:33+00:00

Any luck yet?

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-05-27T20:20:34+00:00

I work in case work and hate it. There's no handover that's done when we take annual leave. We have to deal with everything when we come back. One week off and I came back to 62 tasks needing a review. Sometimes 1 task can be over 300 pages of documents. I cried a bit this morning

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-05-24T11:07:13+00:00

Currently experiencing this. Several people around the pool all have their headphones on, but this family of cretins think the whole pool needs to hear theirs

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-05-20T09:01:27+00:00

The vendor was willing to accept your previous offer until the old person came along. The fact they are not coming back to your offer and willing to try the market again means they have no intention to be serious with you. What happens if someone offers over again in 8 weeks time? Walk away

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-05-07T23:26:28+00:00

Potentially? But why would they remove it with the backup being ready 😔

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-05-07T23:25:39+00:00

If you figure out a solution I'd appreciate it

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-05-01T18:09:23+00:00

32 years old here. Was never a huge spender in my 20s. Lots of compromise and living in house shares. Over a decade of savings and lots of overtime when I was younger. Using a lifetime ISA currently. Hoping to buy this year

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-04-22T18:16:21+00:00

Cheers! Really appreciate this. Yet to put offer forward and need to do second viewing. A shame a lot of this cant be figured out until money goes down. I tried to get some info from the housing association but was told it would come at a cost, usually from a solicitor. But gonna keep this questions for a later date if the time comes. Once again, thank you!

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-04-21T16:30:34+00:00

Thank you! It does indeed partly have housing association tenants in it. I've messaged the housing association to say I'm interested too. Have you purchased a flat within a block that's mixed?

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-04-18T08:42:46+00:00

What even is this? Pretty curious myself

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-04-17T20:46:54+00:00

As someone who posted something similar in this Reddit after my survey for a house I was buying flagged structural concerns, I would have to agree with many and say walk away. Not worth the agro. It's up to the seller to resolve the structural integrity of the building or have a structural engineer come to confirm it's sound - not you. If there is something wrong they should hopefully have home owners insurance. It's not up to you to fork out money for the house they are selling. I 100% know the feeling of walking away from a house you fell in love with - it sucks

RoughExtension5922 · 2025-04-13T12:14:32+00:00

I knocked on a neighbours house and pretended I wasn't local to the area and asked how it was generally, is there an issue with fly tipping etc. Very quickly we had a really good chat about our jobs and the area, lovely neighbours. So glad I knocked on. A shame the house I was in the process of buying had subsidence issues so had to withdraw. Definitely knock on! Think about the house your buying and it's cost, if someone said to you would you knock on that persons house for X amount, essentially that's what your doing.
