Alex has got 4 kids. Needs the cash.

Wonderstuff · 15/01/2010 22:20

Not enough people known Alex James?? God I feel old. I think he is the most well known person on it.

What on earth are they going to sing next week? Seem to have given them some really big well known pieces to sing.

I think the presentation job offers didn't come flooding in after he did 'Buzzcocks' so he's putting himself back out there.

And how alarming is it that a bass player can't keep time?

I now need two t-shirts - an I heart Darius one and a WWCJD one (went to the dentist the other day and thought of her!)

I do wish they hadn't got Alan Twitcharse presenting. He's so utterly uncool, it makes the programme look like shit before it's even begun.

petalpower · 15/01/2010 22:22

Blimey - that was a quick voting slot.

Wonderstuff · 15/01/2010 22:22

He must have got a tidy sum from the Hyde Park gig last year?? Either his school fees are truely frightening or just likes being on telly. I reckon he is so proud about losing all that weight he took the first TV gig he was offered.

MollieO - he had a BF look about him!

She's all over the place...

squeaver · 15/01/2010 22:23

But Titchmarsh does do a Radio 2 classics-lite show. That's their demographic, I suppose.

squeaver · 15/01/2010 22:24

Oh Gary B's got his serious face on.

MmeLindt · 15/01/2010 22:24

They did not make a lot of money on phone calls there.

Not like Simon C who leaves the phone lines open for about 20 hours.

What fresh hell is this?

A big-hipped mermaid and Gary Barlow looking soulful ...

muppetgirl · 15/01/2010 22:24

She's nervous and lost her support

GB is having to really watch her

petalpower · 15/01/2010 22:24

What the hell is Camilla Whatsit wearing?

Wonderstuff · 15/01/2010 22:25

OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper have you not heard Blur live? Keeping time doesn't come naturally to them

muppetgirl · 15/01/2010 22:25

LOL at

'A big-hipped mermaid and Gary Barlow looking soulful ...'

MmeLindt · 15/01/2010 22:25

The horizontal stripe at the hips is not so flattering

petalpower · 15/01/2010 22:25

Love Gary B's serious face Squeaver!

CJCregg · 15/01/2010 22:26

(Mme Lindt - there is a thread on this, largely just me - 'we have to bwief the pwesident')

Back to the results ...

Hassled · 15/01/2010 22:26

Bloody DH dicking around with the remote - did Gary sing opera?

CJCregg · 15/01/2010 22:27

OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper that is the best name ever!

Oh, fuck off, Meatloaf.

petalpower · 15/01/2010 22:27

No - Gary just sat at the piano looking serious and accompanying Camilla Kerslake. Would have paid good money to hear him sing opera!

Wonderstuff · 15/01/2010 22:27

I fucking hate meatloaf - he isn't funny.

petalpower · 15/01/2010 22:28

Oh my word - how long are they going to milk the results for?

OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper · 15/01/2010 22:28

Er no Wonderstuff - but good point.

Could the short voting time have anything to do with the fact the proceeds are being donated to charidee?
