Six weeks in a perspex box??? No food??? In the UK???

I think, out of pure curiosity, I've GOT to go see this...

The details were also on Teletext this morning. Channel 4 and Sky will be offering coverage. Oh goody, goody.

I'm not sure exactly how anyone can sustain interest in a static event like this for 44 days - most people's attention spans (including mine!) are measured in minutes. And why London - are the folks in the USA fed up of these stunts? I just have this mental image of DB up there in his Tupperware box and Jerry Sadowitz on the ground giving his X rated *#&% commentary. Phrases along the lines of merchant banker come to mind.

So you're gonna sit on the fence on this one then Tom?

Crikey!

Tom, I'd hate to see you in a BAD mood!!!

I'm glad you're not a thoroughbred American nationalist and patriot. It means we don't have to pussyfoot around you - because in fairness, I'd love to have ranted on a VERY similar theme about Blaine - but I was afraid I'd upset the diplomatic applecart.

It is indeed unfortunate that the average US citizen is conditioned to over-react in front of a camera. Which leads me to wonder how the UK public will receive this event...?

The words 'damp squib' come to mind - especially after 6 weeks!

well now that I've found the right area ....

does anyone know how long he has been planning to do this, and if it was always going to take place in the UK... just seems a little strange to me that its all happening in the weeks before Derren Brown steps up for his Russian Roulette event on 26th October.... do you think that Derren's sudden rise to fame has started to impact on Mr Blaines ego?

Vats

Maybe he will get no spectator reaction, ie - nobody bothers even looking up. There he would be for six weeks and all for nothing.

and as a thought - will he be wearing nappies?

Nappies???

Nahhh... using meditational methods taught to him by Tibetan monks, DB will be internally re-circulating his own waste - gaining a small amount of nutrition each time. The 'items' never leave his body - as he gleans every ounce of energy from them.

Well, at least that's what I THINK people mean when they say he's full of s@*t...!!!

Ah, so that's why his eyes are brown...

OK, 'Guest' was me - for some reason the system kept me anonymous. Probably a good idea in case DB's Lawyers start reading these posts!

Tom

All this negative talk and anger you've got inside... have you not got a dog you could kick???

Anyway, hopefully something you'll be cheered up about is the Seige Elmsley explanation that I'm about to sort out online for you.

Expect a PM shortly.

And chill...

No animals, especially dogs, were harmed
