Talking about sex. And oh brother... the Big Brother rollercoaster ride is heading our way...
Was lovely to talk to Mark Forrester last night on the BBC national radio station - we were talking about sex... and whether we talk about it too much.
As long as it's not in an inappropriate context like with work colleagues you don't know I think it's (on the whole) good news people share their stories. But you need to be aware that there can be a lot of exaggeration when people talk about their sex lives.
On to Big Brother...if you're a Big Brother fan I'm sure you're looking forward to next Thursday when some of the new housemates enter the house. I've been contributing as an expert to Big Brother since summer 2005 and I'm so excited to be asked back for this series.
I've been booked for my first two slots and then I'm away on a 2 1/2 week trip to Thailand and Cambodia and hope to be back on the series after that. Believe me I'll be checking out all the updates when I'm abroad... visiting exotic temples and lazing on the beach by day and watching the BB housemates’ antics by night.
TODAY’S TIP: If I could offer advice to the new housemates it'd be to enjoy the experience and grab it with both hands - and also to expect you'll hit it off with some and it just won't work with others. And when it doesn't work with others don't let them treat you badly.
Stand up for yourself as last year's winner Luke Anderson and his friend and runner-up Adam Kelly did.
Don't be frightened to put boundaries on other housemate’s bad behaviour – and it's the same outside of the house all of us to set boundaries on others' behaviour to rest.
Take care of yourself, Pamx
