McCartney's only crime (Frog Chorus aside) was not getting shot.. and being relatively normal. Lennon, on the other hand, was well on the way to being a complete arse by the start of the 70's.

Celestial? I didn't realise there was anything worth stealing in there.

I'm writing a horrible piece of music to replace the existing horrible music on a sickening yet popular television show - and they couldn't be arsed to send me the graphics. And after I've finished, I'm going out to get munted.

espelli.. is the quality it records at fixed, or can you adjust? Can't see any way to adjust capture settings. I can probably use it, but the mp4 is pretty crunchy. ta!

I tried that yesterday and it seemed to be bost - but you're right, it's just worked. I thank you.

There used to be quite a few, only I don't know which ones work any more due to Beeb crackdown. Thinking about it, a video version of Mac 'screen capture' would do the job just fine, on this occasion - if anyone knows of something like that?

Anyone know of a bit of software magic which is still working (Beeb has foiled a lot of them, it seems) BORING, huh? Sorry.

Jacob's Creek, three ice cubes and a bar of Galaxy. Job done.

Do you need any sort of formal licence to set-up shop as a Chinese herbal quack? Or do you just order your supplies of bark and fluff etc and off you go? Point taken that some are better than others and of course stuff can do stuff - but surely any sort of 'medical enterprise' which comes with advice such along the lines of "avoid all the people who know nothing and are out to rip you off" is not off to a good start. Dentistry is great, just don't go to the High Street guys, yeah?

I spotted Nicola Sturgeon and 'Glasgow' and went to bed. Actually that's not fair. I saw a few minutes of Danny Boyle lookalike Hendry shouting populist cod-truthery down one end and Schama sweating and twitching down the other.. and then went to bed. The labour guy had scary shark-like death eyes.

I've been to one.. not for myself, I should say. A five minute consultation with somebody who speaks limited English ("hurt.. here..?") and charges you ?20 for a bag of foul-smelling twigs is not the way to go.

Only if they're driving a stolen bus

To be honest, Shorty - I think I overpaid.

This happened to me once too. The bus driver even offered me a nice drink (although it tasted a bit funny). I can't remember much more - except waking-up at home with a bit of a sore bottom.

"Which ghastly duo were discovered in the gutter drinking urine from a can - a few years after signing a contract with Universal which no-one properly explained to them?"

Piss. From a can. Mark my words. You heard it here first.

Let's hope they enjoy it while they can. The deal with Universal will be 360. And they'll be in the gutter, swigging piss from a can - by 2015.

Have you been reading 'Take A Break' again? Let's see how they're doing when they've repaid their loan in full - Sorry, I mean - reaped the full benefit of their three album deal. Oh, those spinning plates of cash.. there's never anything on them when the spinning stops.

Shame they didn't put the permatanned prostitute through. They missed a trick (so to speak) there.

After the (ahem) 'triumph' of Deodorant Salesperson Alexandra Burke last series, there's been a concerted effort by the producers (by the inclusion of Aiden, Matt, Cher, Katie etc) to make this series the series of the, umm, like, unique act, yeah? Unfortunately when shoehorned into the format and requirements of the show, they all come-out looking like caaants. Even the good ones.

That's where I'm at too, Tillie. He's in the wrong place. Let's hope he 'does a Will' and gets himself back on track.

It's a shame, because both this and this http://newsblogged.com/video-matt-cardle-x-factor-2010-auditions-youtube were - 'and i mean this genuinely' - really good.
