I'm FEKKIN lovin watching this "it" show this year


It's great stuff, makes winter way more bearable


Hey on that note: I made blackberry whisky tonight in preparation for 'the big red and white guy down the chimney' day.


(not Eric Pickles btw DC) tho that would be funny

It has become crueler, almost a parody of itself


The auditions are almost Karaoke versions of the previous auditions


Eventually it will evolve into a woman with an afro, finger tapping the mic, whilst modulating her range between high and low


And a boy band with guys side stepping in and out of a revolving circle, pumping the words "Wass up, wassup" into a microphone


The judges will feature the Honey Monster and the kids from the Rice Crispy packet, hosted by a Monster Munch & no one will even flinch



Still meanwhile of that, i'm still watching

When does this start?! I can't wait!


Thoughts on this year:


Bringing back 'the room' audition was a good idea. Never liked going straight to the audience of gawping munters and their ludicrous edited-in expressions of UTTER SHOCK - like aliens just landed on the stage and did the hokey-cokey.


My favourite new element is the close-up of 'the finger' sliding the fader up on the mixing desk. Probably attributed to Simon Cowell in the credits - along with everything else.


I think there were actually far fewer cringey comedy entrants this year weren't there? - which I think is down to ITV's heartwarming new policy of excluding the mentally ill from auditions this year.



Not that I'm watching it, of course.

To be fair they're the only two with any modicum of talent, at least as far as tedious karaoke fest competitions go.


I liked Abi too, but there was something horrible about her attempts to appease a format that in no way suited her own talent.


She'll be fine, she won't conquer the world but if she can put out some of her own work with a bit of integrity then I'll look forward to seeing her play at the Union Chapel.

I want to like Rough Copy, but have yet to be particularly impressed by a performance. They seem like good lads though. Sam Bailey is good, but if she wins, she'll never be heard of again. Someone like Hannah may stand a chance of going further if she wins...

They're all a pretty forgettable bunch.

But then I thought that of One Direction, so shows what I know.


Tamera has potential to do well, ie she's young, gullible, malleable, will sign the worst contract Syco offers and is pretty and skinny with a nice bum.

She can even sing, though not convinced that's a prerequisite.

Hannah & Tamera won't win because they don't have enough public support.


I'm still going for Rough Copy to win, Sam Bailey 2nd.


When I said 'fix' I was referring to the bottom two, not the fact that Sam went.


Heaven forbid that Louie goes into the final 4 weeks with all of his acts remaining. So conveniently 2 of his boys were in the sing-off.


Tamera was in the bottom two a few weeks ago. On Saturday her performance was so weak, plus she forgot her lyrics.

Definitely bottom two contender again. Miraculously she escaped.

Simon C has said on numerous occasions that she has the most potential & is the only one of the finalists with a future. As soon as she is voted off, he will sign her up anyway but obviously wants to keep her in as long as possible.


Enough said really.

I dunno, call me naive, but I'd have thought it would be difficult for them to fix the votes after controversy about phone polls a few years ago.


I don't think there are any fixes in x factor.


The fact Tamara forgot her words probably gained her votes. I think before, she was coming across a bit over confident, that nade her more human.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
