X-FACTOR!! Auditions week, er, 3? 4?? it's time to face...

[paRaahhlympiansgoingforgold]

...the fact it is getting a bit boring But I will persevere!

I have vodka, and strange madras flavoured naan bread crisp things (any takers?)

Anyone know when we get to bootcamp stage?

His mum calls him Peter.

What's up with Adele Man? He looks like a man from a Mills and Boon cover. Manly jawline.

She's a total loon. Poor love. I bet she can't sing.

This is where I've been going wrong. No book.

chortle. Yes, Sue, with a book, you could deffo win X Factor. It's the secret weapon.

Book and a Mantra and both sob story AND relative to wheel on.
Next year I'll be flying it.

Caaaaaah for not looking ten years older

Ah, Hayley was the same year as Will and Gareth. That's why I remember her.

Yes and Darius came 3rd! Blimey that's like, 10 years ago!

NOW can I do Darius' knob? Now there's an actual link to him?

Get in!

Rise up your kilts indeed.
Righto, I shall be ready on time tomorrow, in my special Downton Kit (long gloves, evening dress, notebook for recording historical mistakes so I can write to Julian Fellowes, picture of Maggie Smith stuck onto a hand mirror). Can't wait.

Did you catch the Caitlin Moran webchat?

She introduced me to this shot of the young Bruce Springsteen. I am forever in her debt.

Do scroll down.

Oh we had that picture all over the PA threads MONTHS ago. Buppers and I did serious perving. In fact, we had it on an XF thread too I think?
I missed the Moran. Sadly. Did you chat?

Not really. I talked AT her, but she never replied to me. I also talked AT Naomi Wolf without response, but I feel better about that one because I managed to make her look like a twit.

She was prolly intimidated by you
I missed the wolf one too, I gather it was droll . I need to catch meself up.

Hello darlings - I have missed loads of X Factor this year due to holidays and family etc. Is there anyone of the calibre of my beloved Wanger?

Ivanta- you haven't really missed much. Just a lot of ad breaks and badly staged talky bits
There was a woman we think must be an mn-er, and....can't really remember anyone else And they drafted in Spice girls as judges- they were crap, and Geri deliberately hated everything everyone else liked.

No one will ever compare to Wanger

I think I'll have to watch this late- but I'll keep an eye on the fred which is more entertaining anyway

I've just been reading on the Sun website that they are thinking about bringing in Mel B permenantly next year to boost ratings! I hope they don't!

That's what she was banking on, innit? Making herself even more unpleasant than usual to try and buy a personality.

Do we have a fred? Shall I do one?

I did here
