I was there with my glass of wine,  watching with great anticipation to see which people would blow the judges away with their amazing talent, and those which would make them cringe!

As usual there were lots of funny characters and I have to say with the contestants auditioning in front of a live audience, it certainly makes the audition stages alot more entertaining in my opinion.

The X Factor has been running for quite sometime now, but the british public do not seem bored yet of the concept of finding another potentional superstar.

I like the show as it gives people an opportunity that they may never have got under different circumstance and it shows that there is a lot of good singers out there who would jump at the opportunity to make there singing dreams come true. I will be following the show right to the very end…no doubt there will be plenty of laughter and tears along the way!

The 22 year old Jamaican managed to run the distance in 9.58 seconds, shattering his previous record by 0.11.

I really admire him for continuing to strecth the boundaries and push himself and achieve what might be thought of as impossible.

I hope he continues to impress us with his amazing skills and break more world records in the future.

I cant wait to see him run again! :–)

Is it only me or is anyone else soooo over the Jordan / Peter sager!!! I am so fed up of he said she said …..get over yourself we don’t care anymore
Yes it’s sad yes it hard as when any couple separate particularly when there are kids involved but please there is no dignity in washing your dirty laundry in public. You are not that big a deal to warrant so much air time or reading matter.
I am even frustrated that I have even decided to write the this blog but it really does get up my nose
From what I can see neither of them are doing themselves any favors and coming out in a good light! All they seem to be bothered about is how much money and publicity they can get out of it. Sad desperate and pathetic springs to mind when real people who go through this hell every day are literately in bits needing therapy to recover. It does seem to be of glorifying what normal people find an excruciating painful experience.

However, I’ve had 2 days of sun in a row (I know, so happy!), and I’m now thinking about my summer hols. I won’t be going abroad though. I know, British summer holidays on British beaches are not the “coolest” of trips ever, but have you been to Newquay lately?!
It’s amazing!

Great surf, cool bars, and a great party atmosphere - all the important things that a holiday needs to have! But with the added bonus of having no “holiday hassle” – bad flights, delays, foreign food, foreign currency, getting lost and not speaking the language…. It’s the perfect holiday!
So now I’ve decided when and where I’m off to, I get to go shopping - woohoo!!

And I’ll be doing a lot of my shopping online – great bargains and delivered straight to your door. I’ve decided to stock up on Quicksilver Clothes because they are great for the beach and look amazing - and the dresses can be glammed up for a night in the bar.

What more does a girl need?

What with Big Brother and I am a celebrity, I am sick and tired of Wacthing people I dont even recogince as being famous. They are not even interesting as far as I am concerned.

When it frist began all those years ago, I did find it interesting as it was a novelty……now though I am just bored!

Is it too much to ask for a good drama of comedy!

I think it might be!

She then awakes from the dream, was that a concert or the circus?!  The country’s going through a recession/depression whatever you want to call it. Apparently we are all 35 percent more likely to become depressed than we were a year ago.  I wouldn’t say I was depressed, but I can certainly feel something bringing me down.

I’ve always been really motivated and driven at work but at the moment it seems like I’m trying to swim upstream.  I’m putting in more and more hours, trying harder and harder and still ending up two paces further back than I started.

I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling the squeeze.  My finances aren’t any worse than they’ve been before; in fact they’re probably better.  I’m not as cavalier as I was in my youth.  But still you can feel it all the time.

I think that the media industry is making it much worse.  I don’t think it would be too much to ask for them to lift the mood a little.  They could all have a happiness full on assault for a couple of weeks to see if it had a positive impact.  Obviously it would!  It was Boris Johnson who sought out the pursuit of happiness.  I think that we should be looking to this more and more as we’re here for a good time, not a long time.  We should all remember that and do something every day to make us happy.

Then there are those girls with ‘princess on board’ or ‘hot stuff on board’.  Get a grip on yourself, no need what so ever!

One of my friends has recently had a baby and only now have I realised the utter despise caused when you park in the mother and child spots at the supermarket when you don’t have a child.  I thought my friend was going to spit on someone when they did it and she had to struggle in the normal parking.

Maybe they should have window stickers saying ‘knobber on board’, ‘watch out selfish monkey navigating’?!  I for one will never have window stickers don my car windows.  I will let people make their own mind up about me and my driving skills on the road…?!

I try not to think about it too much; I recycle glass and cans, plus I always give my old clothes to charity.  I do think that our generation need to sort out poverty as well as the whole green issue.  The country seems to be in such a mess at the moment though.  Recently it seems like a case of, where do we start?!

I’m 26 years old and I can state for my generation that we are completely detached from our countries economic and political agenda.  We have not got the UK into the situation it is in now and yet don’t seem to have much of a say about sorting it out.  I personally think that in a couple of decades we’ll be left to pick up the pieces of a broken Britain.

I think that there should be a complete cull of politicians; the expense row gives the perfect excuse.  The majority of them have taken the complete piss and should go.  The government needs a wider variation of people in terms of age and wealth, not just race.  It may then be possible to say that the government is making decisions for the whole of the UK, rather than just a small percentage of the public who like in a) London and b) are old.
