Overheard on the bus, two students talking:

Yeah, we were out the other day; there were loads of people there. Yeah, some famous people, like that Bez from off Big Brother.

    Off of Big Brother? Oh dear. I find it amusing the way that Scott Mills on Radio One refers to everyone as someone ‘off of’ something, in a cheezy piss-take way (e.g. Lori off of justshoot.org), but most of his listeners seem to miss the joke.
