Well I watcyhed some of sundays again because She wanted watch it. But what a load of bollocks. I have no respect for anyone on that panel. It's all crap - so obvioulsly it's not aimed at me. It's aimed at the gullible who want to line Cowell's pockets.

What's the record we have to buy this year to stop this shit being the Christmas number 1?

I hope it's Cliff Richard.

My hope's for the rival facourite to be a reissue of 'Grandad' by Clive Dunn (who's still with us, aged 91).

Brilliant. That's two of my favourite songs that have been ruined this year. Screw you, Syco!

"After working almost non-stop for a couple of years, there was no interest in Cadman's act or any bookings for the summer of 1989.

After the work dried up, he became an alcoholic, spent some time in jail and finally ended up sleeping rough in an industrial rubbish bin."

That's what happened to Cadman from talent-show winners Walker and Cadman. We know what happened to Walker.

How about the direct antithesis to whoever they were?

Do we? I've got no idea.

Anyway - Cowell doesn't care about them.

I couldn't think of any Walkers. I wondered if it might've been a typo.

I can't believe a group won. Not just a group, but a girl group.

Girl groups can't win the X Factor! Everyone said so!

A girl group!

I'm going to have to rethink everything. My politics, religion, sexuality, my opinion of Girls Aloud... all bets are off. I've never been so profoundly bemused in my life.

Just in case somebody thought I was serious. Sleepy
