No. Although there's an idea. Obviously he would leave the lovely and fragrant Vanessa were he ever to meet me. It's a project I'm working on - his being in Greenwich has given me an idea...

Anyone know how long the filming's going on?

You're a cynic. She needs a variety of styles - three black girls with amazing soul voices not gonna do it. You need a Diana Vickers for every Alexandra Burke.

Oh the irony.

That's just his face *bob*.

Especially the gratuitous topless scene. Wow momma.

Yeah Quids, you puny Guardian-reading liberal!

I was in Selfridges on Monday and had a nice little wander round their Christmas shop. It's all if you build it, they will come stuff - they wouldn't if we didn't, so we've only ourselves to blame. I've seen research that says that some people start their Christmas shopping in July. That said, I'm surprised more hasn't been made of Halloween. We're getting all American and ting - it's now the 3rd biggest sales opportunity of the year for the supermarkets. Bring on the pumpkins.

4 times Huguenot. 4 times.

Oh Huguenot, I feel so terribly inadequate that the best I could come up with was "the kind of pomposity that suggests you're masturbating furiously in front of both a mirror and your computer screen." Still though, snap.

Oh my god, I'm sorry, I know it's entirely off-topic, but doesn't James Barber look like a slimline Greg Wallace? Am going to read my bin literature today so that I can OBJECT too.

Somewhere I have a Smiths songbook if you're interested. I just about managed the right hand on Panic. Will you be inviting us round for an old-time knees up?

With the tory scum in power, that's all they can afford. But oh, they want it to be good bacon...

Hear hear louisiana: in the space of a week, the EDF yielded me some home-delivered delicious meatballs, a fixed ipod that I thought would never work again, and a delightful lunch companion. All smiley and gratis (not that I usually pay my lunch companions, you understand). Truly the forum cup, it runneth over.

Oh the irony.

I assumed that you do. S'why I said "so, you know, don't" innit.

I haven't remotely noticed that. And having recently worked for a supermarket, am completely unaware of this being an issue (and I was aware of any number of issues). As Sean says, maybe try a bakers?

You make an interesting point Huguenot. When I first came to uni in London, my mum drove me down from t'north. She was all concern and I was desperate to get on and meet new people, but she'd driven me a long way and wanted to stay all day and take me for dinner and I couldn't really bring myself to say no - even though I knew it was more for her than it was for me, and in all honesty, I was mortified at being the only person on campus whose mum was hanging around. The result was that while all the cool kids were meeting each other and finding out where the bar was, I was stuck with my mum and so the only friends I had for the first couple of weeks were my terribly boring immediate neighbours in halls. People actually commented that I was the one who'd brought my mum with me to uni. I got away from that moniker in my own time, but I would caution against over-protectiveness - one of the most valuable things you can learn at uni is how to fend for yourself (with, obviously, free laundry services at home).

You know how Sean knows katie... There's only one way he could really, truly know for sure...

HAL, I think it's only you that thinks about chicks with dicks sans cesse...

I have to confess. It's actually me.

Who'da thunk it - I'm agreeing with HAL for once!
