    Sorry scaredy -got sidetracked with fb. I think they cherry pick the auditions we get to see - especially now that it's on stage and not just in a hotel room. I don't believe that the panel get to see all the applicants - it would take them forever !

    They don't. Just had a local radio DJ on saying he'd done some judging of the auditions.

    All we need now is a fixed phone vote and it'll be just like every other year.

    That's mad!!! But I have noticed that hotels are advertising Christmas nights!

    I seem to limp from one expensive time to another - school holidays and back to school expense, closely followed by uni returns and associated costs followed by Christmas! it's never ending!

    Well they do like to be able to predict their demand. I know we've organised Christmas lunch already at work.

    Yes - that's how they extract as much cash from you as possible.

    Soon it'll be possible to get cards for "Nose hair" day. Show they hairs in your nose that you care...
