    am too stupid to post a link though so if someone could oblige? See you over on our new ( hopefully lucky) thread. Let's leave all the bad luck we've been having on this one!

    Well done Stacy! I won £20 on BB this morning, every little helps. I've just downloaded RATM for the huge sum of 29p, I'd love it if they did actually get to number one, I don't even really think the x factor song is any good.

    Anyway, I guess I'll see everyone on the new thread :).
