Not much crazier than some of their real policies: 'We will develop a Troops to Teachers programme - to get the professionals in the army who know how to train young men and women into the classroom'.
Well, indeed. But then I think that my views on Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition (God grant them many years!) probably deserve a Hell-thread of their own, and a considerably worthier one than a whinge about a couple of vaguely irritating teenagers with delusions of talent!

I submit that the pudendal nomenclature is partially correct in that they clearly are a couple of twats - you only have to look at them to see the truth of that proposition; but in this case, that's only half the story. The problem is not simply what they are, but also what they do with what they are. In other words, they are not simply twats, but wankers, or so I contend.
What say ye, shipmates!

I love Christians. What other subset of people would call someone a twat and a wanker, then say "oh, in a totally non-judgemental way of course".
"In Christian Love" is another favourite.
It's freakin' hilarious.

True, although if I were to call them 'sweet-natured', 'unaffected', 'charming' and 'purveyors of jaunty, life-enhancing pop-music' then I would also be being judgemental inasmuch as I would be judging them as being rather good. I'm sure they'd be much happier with that.

I do think that one of reason this unpleasant unwarranted attack on these 2 innocent Irish boys in there is a undeserved undercuurent of racial hatered. These young lads are not sterotyped Irish boyos and to the best of my knowledge have never been looking for a lake that slopes so they could water sking. I am so sure about Louie Walsh claim to be 5ft 9in

It's possible some Irish people living in the UK are voting for the twins to stay in - and what a shame some real singers were sent home on Sunday ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif) - but I guess if the great British public prefer Edward and John to three soul divas and your other guy (who also can sing pretty well) who are any of us to say otherwise?

It does appear that the great British public is voting for twin twats as a way of kicking Simon Bowels in the knackers. From the look on old Bowel's he seem to understand that and he will try to find a way to protect his investment.

I have to say I like this theory. I'm almost tempted to vote for the TTs - as long as I can do that without watching the programme.

Seriously, I love the fact they aren't letting the small matter of being completely unable to sing stop them winning a song context. Its the spirit that gave Ireland the Celtic Tiger. Of course its also the spirit that fucked up the Celtic Tiger, but why dwell on the negatives?

Simon gets a cut of every phone vote, so he doesn't really care who wins as long as the punters vote. He also gets to sign the acts too.
His opinions are partly stage-managed in the press to get people to vote against him, but he gets a cut anyway.

I am shocked. neigh flabbergasted that the Bowel gentlemen has resorted to getting a rake off from the phone calls. Brothers and Sisters let us start a movement to get the UK public to stop phoning in.
This idea that the Bowel gentlemen stage-managers the ad-libs is frighten. Are you saying it is all a fake like the WWE and preordained and Calvinists are involved. This is getting worse, is anybody going to do an expose on this.

I'm almost annoyed! ![[Frown]](frown.gif) Are we so perverse that mediocrity (and that's being generous to the twin twonks) is lauded at the expense of talent? Thanks to all those who voted just to spite SC, we had the farce of a sing off between a pretty girl with a reasonable voice and a pretty boy one without a voice. They should not have been put in that position whilst the TTs are still there. Come on SC, it's your show going down the pan - press the euthanase button NOW. I may have to stop watching, then what else would I do on a Saturday night?
