    But did it involve chucking  bags of flour at the opposition?

    No idea.  I wasn't there for it.  It seems they hold one every year and this year's theme was cinema

    Looks like 'bath tub' is open to loose interpretation.

    I thought that my bathroom was a reasonable size -but it is obviously not up to international standards.

    Going off on a tangent, what is a celebrity?
    This is the first definition that came up on Google:
    'a famous person, especially in entertainment or sport.'
    How many people need to have heard of you before you become 'famous'?
    While channel scrolling, I come across Celebrity This and Celebrity That but I've never heard if any of them. :/
    It seems to me a sure sign that a series has run its course when there's a celebrity edition.

    You have to add in , anyone who has been married to a "celebrity" (eg Angie Bowie ) or the offspring of a "celebrity" (eg Calum Best ).
    I laughed out loud when I saw " Pointless Celebrities" on the listing .

    Isn't celebrity a self fulfilling prophecy? It's like having someone on celebrity big brother who was a celebrity for featuring on celebrity big brother.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I remember Tamara Beckwith, and Tara Palmer Tomkinson ( probably both mis-spelled ) being famous, for being famous. Neither , it seems, had any particular skills or talents, they just went to lots of parties.
    Bizzare that folk seem to  have an interest in these people, ditto Only way is Essex, Made in Chelsea, Real housewives of Cheshire and other such drivel.

    These programmes are cheap to make - especially when the celebrities get cheaper as they slip down the alphabet list

    How important  do you have to be before you can be ‘assassinated’ and not just killed. ?
