Soooooooooo what do we all think of the top 12?


I think those twins Louis chose are woeful and clearly he is not thinking with his head in terms of putting them through.. Simon's group was definitely the hardest I think I would have put them all through!


I never thought I would get in to a show this much but Im quite looking forward to rainy saturday nights in watching the X factor..


Any brave predictions of a winner at this point?

All these BritainsgotXFactorpopstars shows are usually only worth watching for the comically deluded no-hopers at the outset, but for some reason this is actually entertaining and engaging viewing with some genuinely likable contestants and the odd villains (i.e. the Twins) to boo at. It's like the Panto season has come early this year.



Clearly we all need *Bob* to come on and remind us of how shallow and gullible we are.

I can't believe I've even watched this but watch it I have.

Can I put in a formal request that everybody STOP FUCKING CRYING All the FUCKING TIME.


Blimey, a bit of stiff upper lip anyone, anyone? Some of you are grown men for goodness sake, it's not like your mum died or something.

I was thinking the exact same thing last night.* Why can?t someone get sent home and just go, ?Fair enough, I gave it a shot. Let me go back to my relatively enjoyable normal life.?


Instead these poor bastards? hopes and dreams all hinge on this one moment because their family is dead they live in a box full of razorblades at the bottom of a pond and their hometown will collectively commit suicide if they don?t win.


And that Dermot guy must get so much snot on his jumper.


*After obviously not watching this kind of garbage. Ever I tell you.

A good crop this year.


Call centres are all well and good, but it really adds something if one of the luckless losers has to go back to a particularly unpleasant job. Like that one on a previous series who worked in asbestos removal.


Olly gets a pat on the back on account of being the only one who the competition doesn't mean 'everything' to. So far anyway. No doubt they'll wheedle it out of him if he progresses.


Glad Louis put the Freak Twins in. If I had my way, I'd have dancing seals, The Roly Polys, Dermot doing an opening song and dance routine and the weekly loser getting gunged to the shrieks of a baying crowd. This is Saturday night on ITV after all - let's keep it real.

Either one of Danni's or Simon's acts will win. Cheryl is a fool for putting that Welsh boy in and not Dwayne. Miss Frank will be the only act for Louis to have even the slightest chance of winning or being in the final.


Simon should have put through the guy with the green hair over that Olly lad. Danni M was spot on with her choices though.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
