I will PM you a picture of me in some shorts. Be warned, they are very, very short and can be quite revealing. ;)

Gamu was lucky to get away without a kicking if you ask me.

Not that I'm suggesting Cheryl is a vile chavvy racist thug, of course.

I heard a rumour that Katie got in ahead of Gamu; couldn't believe it actually happened. Although, I now hear that the 'twist' will see each 'mentor' bringing back one of the rejects and that Cheryl will choose Gamu.

She doesn't deserve to bring back Gamu. Someone else should mentor Gamu. Any of the other judges would have had her #1 out of the lot of them.

Oh man this sounds awesome. Couldn't think what the twist would be, I thought maybe a new guest judge or something but that would be pretty shit tbf. If that is true though it will be awesome but I'd like to see both Katie and Cher booted out and replaced with Mr Magoo (Gamu) Keri Arrindell. Also I bet Husstle will be brought back the fucking slags. Seriously, what is wrong with those women. Bleurgh! The over 28's is a bit screwed, there's only one decent act in it do I feel sorry for Louis if he has to bring back another shit singer...like Wagner :shock: or Stephen Hunter :shock: (although I think he is pretty funny). Can't wait for next Saturday now!!

Just because his voice has broken doesn't mean he's gay.

No, but him being gay does mean he is gay.

Is that the level of debating skill that won you the school prize? Must have been entertaining to listen to. "Why is the sky blue?" "It isn't."

Well, for a start, I was given the theme a month in advance. Then I actually wrote a speech in more than one minute.

This house believes that the future will be a better place (For), against the other 3 houses in my school. They were representing a quarter of the school each (and we were the last quarter), so in short, yes.
It's also better to debate verbally rather than through the internet.

No, the sheet went into the recycling. It was something along the lines of better medical care, how politics is important to us, the world economy.

So hang on, was it just that you were the sole debater for your house, or was it a mass debate and you were declared the best, or what?

You could watch some of this and make up your own mind. (There's a fairly hefty clue at 0:40.)

Or you could read this interview in which "the openly-gay singer" says "I had a boyfriend for 12 years".

But he's not gay, because Rhys says so.

Towards the end of Craig's performance Michael and I looked at each other and said almost in unison: "Did he just sing 'collecting your jar of farts?'"

He did. 1:46. It's not even ambiguous.

Anyone watching this this year?

Basically, it's hogging the news at the moment - Frankie Cocozza (boys category) has been kicked off for taking cocaine :!: :o and an announcement will be made tomorrow whether Johnny Robinson (from Harrow :D ) will be reinstated.

Just seen this post, and one has "seen the light."

He also says,
but that was a long time ago.

Haha yeah, you can ungay yourself if you give it long enough.

So where do you now stand on the societal repression of homosexuality?

Shouldn't he be in prison then, not on X Factor?

I think it's irresponsible to support somebody you perceive to be a criminal in a competition.
