I have got an indian supermarket style take away and some pizzas to watch with the dc tonight. Between this and bake off I will be seeing much more of the kids.

fizzytonicplease · 02/09/2017 15:02

What it starts tonight...how am I missing all these announcements, I nearly missed cold feet if it wasn't for mumsnet informing me it starts next Friday.

Glad I'm not going to miss x factor, although last year I lost interest before the live shows

MusicToMyEars800 · 02/09/2017 15:27

Woo hoo, just came on here to see if there was a thread and lo and behold there is! Great to see you all, been on the last few and the Voice threads, but under a different name, it's the only thing that makes it worth watching! Look forward to some laughs with you all, tho apparently there won't be a novelty act this year and they are focussing more on pp doing their own songs at the auditions. Boooo!

The80sweregreat · 02/09/2017 15:58

Oh no! Their own songs? Cue lots of sentimental stuff and broken hearts, how they miss their 'great granny Ethel ' or how they had a rough time in the school sports day in the 00s and came last. Help us all!

MusicToMyEars800 · 02/09/2017 16:00

80's I'm already laughing Grin, I did hear that they will be doing their own songs for the winners song, instead of doing a cover.

I'm really looking forward to it, but avoiding telling anyone in real life!

The80sweregreat · 02/09/2017 16:06

Oh gawd! I cant see that being a goer somehow.
Nobody cares who wins it anyway.

MusicToMyEars800 · 02/09/2017 16:07

ASauvingnon Nice username Grin I don't have anyone in rl that watches it and enjoys it no mates My OH hates it.

OP posts:
NoisyBrain · 02/09/2017 17:38

My OH complains about it, then ends up getting involved and joining in with making sarky comments about the acts, while laughing at the comments I read out loud from the Mumsnet thread Grin

InigoTaran · 02/09/2017 17:57

My ( new ) DP is doing a Barbeque now and drinking wine already so will prob be sloshed by the time X Factor is on! Was a sad singleton when I used to watch it before and you all kept me company on a Sat night. Was so grateful for that so want to keep the faith to this thread even tho I have rl Company, fortunately he doesn't mind, I once had a partner who hated XF so much he made me watch it wearing headphones!!

The80sweregreat · 02/09/2017 18:01

Inigo, no more headphones!

InigoTaran · 02/09/2017 19:21

Update: sweet corn cooked on a Barbeque is a fucking revelation. Gorgeous!!

MusicToMyEars800 · 02/09/2017 19:34

Inigo It is a revelation indeed, it's bloody lush, I have another revelation.. If you like a flake on ice cream swap it for a galaxy ripple crumbled over the ice cream, it is amazing Grin

I've poured myself a glass of pinot got crisps and chocolate at the ready and sent OH out to the pub with his friends Grin

I'm here!! I have bought a box of walnut whips in honour of this momentous evening Grin

Raahh · 02/09/2017 19:51

I have just go rid of smallest child. DD1 usually watches with me but she has disappeared. I'm feeling a bi better for having slept most of he day Grin

nancy75 · 02/09/2017 19:52

I hope there aren't too many original songs, they are bad enough singing covers!

Raahh · 02/09/2017 19:53

Will we get auditionees as good as Raw Chicken though?

And there will be returnees, probably. I'm hoping Doll Woman comes back, but as herself, and totally confuses them. She didn't have a bad voice.
