As per every year, Sneak will be trying to roundly ignore the terrifying exercise in human ant-farming that is Big Brother. But as per every year, Sneak will no doubt fail miserably and end up letting every moment of every episode sluice into his brain like liquidised offal swirling down a plughole. While trawling the web to find alternative ways of mashing brain cells to a pasty pulp, Sneak somehow ended up navigating to the BB web site – just as sirens once lured sailors to their mangled doom on the rocks with promises of a bit of harmless fun. At the site, Sneak learned that contestant “Mikey” is not just an apparent genetic hybrid of gormless TV host Vernon Kay and Roberto, the Italian loser from last year. No, Mikey is, scarily, a software developer by trade. Or, to be precise, a “software developer and model”.
There can’t be many people who list both those occupations on their CV, which did set Sneak wondering. So, have any of you out there ever employed the skills of Mikey as either a bit-basher or as a clothes horse? And was he any good at either?
