I's all a bit Big Brother to me......don't they keep the irritating little ***** in the house to boost ratings?? Haven't watched BB for years though, but that was my theory way back when and now I find history doth repeat itself on another show!!


Daizie.....Robbie was DEF on summat, had I been Dermot I would have been unable to look him in those BIG BAD SCARY EYES.


I felt certain this would have been a pre-recorded show, can you imagine Simon Cowell faffing about on a Saturday night and then returning on a Sunday night for the results, but Louis wasn't there......hold on it could still have been filmed last night couldn't it..........???

Of course it's live. There would be little point in kitting them all out in a second outfit, when most of them aren't even going to perform.


The twins will probably be in for a while, remember John Seargent in Strictly last year, outlasting better people, simply because the public have a twisted sense of humour.

X-Factor factoid from the last series..



"X Factor star Niki Evans said she was encouraged to cry over her dad's death while appearing on the programme last year, and claims she was voted off after she refused advice from judge Louis Walsh to sing Luther Vandross's Dance With My Father and cry afterwards."


Hooray for the X-Factor!

Could there be a less inspiring sight than looking into into the dead, lifeless eyes of 'Danyl' (?!) as he bores his way through another minute of singing? I doubt it.


And can anyone settle an argument? Is that Jamie Archer's real face or is he wearing a clown mask?


We are mostly liking Ollie at the moment. He's the sort of person you'd hope to get when you telephone a call centre to enquire about travel insurance.


So Ollie to win. And if Ollie goes out, I'll be rooting for Jedward. We can't all be brilliant singers and dancers - like Cheryl, can we?

"So Ollie to win. And if Ollie goes out, I'll be rooting for Jedward."


That pretty much sums up the mockney household too.


I actually quite like Jamie, but Louie (sp?) has a point about him being a good karaoke artist, though gawd knows what he thinks he's achieving by that as the whole show is nothing but karaoke meets reality tv.

Big band week was great because it fits the bill perfectly, rock doesn't lend itself to rent-a-mariah-lets-bang-out-the-big-note format at all, which is why it was dire.


I'm looking forward to jazz week and all the Cleo Laine covers...magic!!!

ba-be-dee bab-bab-baaaaa... booop.


'Rock Week' was piss-poor for sure.. but then I don't suppose a one-week Sylvia Young seminar is guaranteed to turn every student into a bona fide rocker.


And you know you've been dissed when even wet-fart weak-voiced girl-rocker Bon Jovi refuses to take part in the up-till-now obligatory 'mentoring' session for fear of toe-curling.

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
