I hope that she does come back to the room if not the boards, bur after the venom and spite she’s had to deal with I can perfectly understand her wanting to take a break from it all, she is human after all, unlike some you could mention eh :roll:
But hey! im sure they’ll all be so very happy with their achievements, they should all feel very proud of themselves :roll:
When this same kind of thing happens to any one of them Pea, we can all sit back and have a good laugh about it, Annette too hopefully
On the X-tra factor, Simon just said that it didn’t go the way he’d expected it to so I think he left it to the public vote thinking that those two would be the ones with the less votes.
Lucie shouldn’t even have been in the bottom two. Lloyd and the cretins yea, but not her, she’s one of the best singers on there and i’m sure this won’t be the end for her. I think Simon inadvertently may have done her the biggest favour of her life. :wink:
Sorry Cas, How do you work that one out then ? :?
As tic said he’s made himself look a complete tvvat because all the way through he’s been gunning for the cretins & the one totally justifiable chance he had of sending them packing, he bottled it.
So much for him judging on that one performance. Lucie was better & has been from the start.
What’s he gonna do now? Give her a recording contract to save face?
Who knows sarah, maybe he wont, but wouldnt suprise me that someone does. he did say tho, that it didnt go as he expectedm, and personally I took that to mean that he thought the public vote would have meant the twins would go

Pete, when my son was 13 (he was actually about a month from his 14th b’day) him and a couple of other freinds went after school, to another boys house, who lived in Rush Green. At that time we lived in Dagenham, so a bus ride away. I gave him his bus fare and told him to be home at 9.30. It went past 9.30 and was getting closer to 10pm and I was getting annoyed, as you do, thinking that they’re pushing the boundaries. Just after 10 he came in, looking quite hot and annoyed. He explained that he’d gotten on the bus with his other freind but didn’t have enough fare, the driver told him that after 9 o/c he had to pay full fare, he didn’t have it and was told by the bus driver to leave the bus. An older lady behind him, had offered to pay the extra, he was 20p short, the driver refused and my son had to walk home. He didn’t call me, I wouldn’t have been able to pick him up as I didn’t have a car at the time. I was however, pretty angry. I called the bus company and was told that (at that time) the driver was correct, and although he was school age, it was full fare after 9 o/c. I asked the question about the ‘common sense’ factor here, also the fact that someone else had offered to pay the extra 20p, 20p fgs!! I hardly think stagecoach were going to go bust over 20p!! I was told that it’s down to the drivers discretion at the time. I wasn’t going to get anywhere, I was told I could put my complaint in writing if I so wished but considering the response i’d gotten on the phone I saw very little point. :roll:
He was 12, i’m pretty sure i was more than a mile or so from my parents house when i was 12. Has the world changed that much
Sadly Pete yes. I remember as a 7 year old walking with my brother to and from school, on our own, which I suppose was around half a mile or so. Summer, winter, we were fine. I’m now 62, ok so not a child but wouldn’t dream of walking anywhere now after dark, much less the east end, where I grew up.
Anyway PB is right, as I said too, the person untimately to blame for this is the boys mother. :evil:
