Well, haven't posted in a while, cos I couldn't think of what to write - so I thought I'd just start and see what came out. While writing that last sentence I thought of the first thing to note - my mate and his wife have just had their first child!! Mum and junior happy and healthy, and new Dad in a mild state of shell shock - but ultimately v.proud. Love to you all from us all mate.
What else....well for all you saddos out there (i.e. like me) I can't believe that Maria is out of the X-factor. I mean, I wouldn't mind if it was the final or something, but there's still complete no hopers like Chico and The Conway Sisters (hello - anyone told the The Corrs got there first?) in the running.....I want to know who's voting like this. Is it malicious students or teeny boppers attracted to Chico's pelvic moves? Hurrumph indeed. Prediction: Shane is going to win - he got backing singers and dancers for his number, and was put on first. Psychology 101 says primacy and recency effects memory - i.e. you remember what you experience first or last in a group.
Aaaaaanyway, enough rambling, got to go and do some more armchair research in front of the tv.
