So it’s Hamza, well deserved

Chobulous

I have to laugh about all this “Gary Glitter was a demon” rhetoric. He’s a nonce no doubt and nobody should forget it, but what about Jimmy Page, Dave Bowie, John Bonham, Mick Jagger, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and no doubt countless others? Maybe their “down with the kids” music is a bit more a...

Still Hamza for me, but I would not disagree if Helen won. Some gnashing of teeth in the upper echelons of BBC land however.

Chobulous

The judges are all on message, but I still think Joe Public will vote for Helen, just because of her history.

Chobulous

I think Helen will win, but I think Hamza should win because IMO he is the best dancer.

How have the horse fiddlers got another 3 points?

That says everything about footballers. Complete titch and Grant Hanley end up in a tangle. Hanley holds the titch down, titch gets up and thinks about squaring up then struts about like he has just won a fight, knowing Hanley won’t take it any further.

Jesus Christ, Pukki is utter rubbish. Nearly every time he’s touched the ball he has given it away. As for the game, I can’t imagine how either of these teams will be anywhere near challenging for automatic promotion.Sargeant looks halfway decent but everyone else, rubbish. Still hoping for a draw t...

There’s a place for all types, kinaesthetic, audio or visual. Depends if you are imaginative and want to know the why of things, analytical and want to know what you are learning, a pragmatist and want to how a thing works or an activist and want to know about the what if type of approach. Either wa...

Does Craig fancy her?

I know I compared her to a caveman but I don’t think even that would make Craig fancy her

I reckon Fleur has been in the dance off more times than any other finalist in Strictly history, yet the judges keep putting her through, even when she has fallen on her arse. Why is anybody’s guess.

Chobulous

Wife...Hamza Me ....Helen Come on Helen you deserve this Can't stand that Fleur...she thinks she's going to win...no chance. She reminds me of an old X Factor contestant who had a similar attitude. Rowetta something or other. I remember the look of total incredulity when she was voted off that show...

Chobulous

She gets really offended,a bit like Mellor when the public get the vote and put her in the bottom two...like "Why me I'm magnificent " i can't stand the woman. The judges are out of the picture from now on, public vote only. A lot will feel sorry for Helen, but normally in the final the best one wi...

Fleur should have been out weeks ago when she fell on her backside. Everything she does is far too frantic. She stomps about like a caveman. Hamza from day 1 for me

Chobulous

The team didn’t throw away any points, they were a group of players that had only just been brought together and were finding ways to get used to a new manager’s style of play and each other’s capabilities and limitations in match play. It was a miracle that they were in so many winning situations a...

I wouldn't tar all Zep with the brush, especially JPJ.

Fair enough, though Robert Plant and JPJ must have turned a blind eye to Page and Bonham and what they got up to.

Chobulous

I didn’t mind him, just thought that there was a lot better going on at the time. Creedence we’re on the point of breaking up unfortunately, Cat Stevens was putting out some great stuff, the nonces Led Zep were in their pomp, Dylan, Joni Mitchell, ELP, John Prine, the list goes on

Anybody and i mean anybody but England :lol: I get that. The thing is, with England there is always the possibility of it happening. It has before and maybe someday it will happen again, or maybe not. No one with any grasp on reality would ever envisage the same for any of the ‘perpetually in the s...

The ones at Padiham are a nightmare. It’s bad enough at school mother time, with all the SUVs and 4x4s as the mums drop off their little darling after driving from 2 streets away, but the addition of these lights make Padiham utterly impassable

Doesn’t alter the fact that he paid for all of those things. He can’t have shouted very loud and the rooftops can’t have been that high because I reckon most people didn’t know about those donations. However you cut it it’s a very good way to spend your “I’ll deserved” multi-millions.

RIP Christine. Thank you for the music. I had no idea how many of the hits she wrote. Am I correct in thinking she was on crackerjack as Christine Perfect? Until today I’d always imagined that was a stage name not her birth name. That was her actual birth name, she was in Chicken Shack and sang lea...

Green was a genius but his mental issues got the better him. Could have been up there with the best.

Great as she was I would personally disagree about her being the best singer in the band. That accolade in my view would go to lead singer Stevie Nicks.

Why can’t people stop whinging. Get on with your job. If you don’t like it move on. It's all to do with their outlook on life and their personal experiences. You will find that the people complaining are usually failures, jealous, they have had bitter experiences at work, are unhappy and have a poo...

It already is 16 in Scotland was lowered a few years ago.

Please don’t hold Scotland up as some sort of shining light of liberalism. The voting age of 16 was introduced with both eyes firmly on a future referendum and for no other reason.

Agreed. No comparison between Begum's "grooming" and what happened to hundreds of poor /vulnerable girls in Rochdale, Rotherham, etc, etc. They were often from troubled backgrounds and (initially only) given some apparent affection/attention, booze, drugs whatever. Begum was tempted by violence/blo...

I have zero interest in this particular World Cup.

So you are saying that any team who agrees to play in the tournament should conform to their laws on gay players, thus not selecting anyone from the LGBT community? Being homosexual is not illegal in Qatar, practicing homosexuality is, so your argument about not picking players who are homosexual d...

I agree the Roberta Flack version was tremendous. I first heard it in the film ‘Play Misty For Me.’
Ewan MacColl hated it for some reason.

Just as an aside her father wrote IMO one of the best romantic songs ever but always hated the greatest version of it.
