Mexicola Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Just think about the poor British bloke on holiday in New York who has misunderstood and is standing on the tube naked from his waist down to his socks. You just knows there's one There's always one! Bit awkward, I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 When I saw the headline on the BBC site, that's what I thought they meant because it reads "No sign of cold snap as passengers strip for No Pants Day"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWords Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 From the CNN link: "There is nothing special about me. I have never wanted special attention. I was only willing to do what was asked of me and what seemed necessary at the time." How many people these days would be so humble about such brave actions? The BBC has the story as well.

Stephanie2008 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I've never seen American Idol. Although I read that he was taking X-Factor to the States. What is different between American Idol and X-Factor? (apart from the judges of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 nothing apart from tha fact that X Factor is Simons show and American Idol isn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well there's your reason. I get the feeling (I might be wrong here) that Simon likes to have a little bit input and control over his shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquarius91 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Oh yes I heard about Dannii Minogue being pregnant. I don't know why but I never thought she would have a baby. Congrats to her though. Cheryl next! Apparently on channel 4 news tonight at 7pm my sister will be on there. They went to her school as it remained open and were talking to her group of friends about how easy it was to get to school, how they feel about not wearing their uniform all week blah blah blah.

Nicola Booth Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 How Awful! Would be my worst nightmare. At least Tesco and Asda always stock a good selection of books but you cannot beat browsing around a store like Waterstones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWords Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm not sure if I should accept the story at face value or not, because (possibly spurious) claims about diseases being caused by playing computer games have been kicking around since the early eighties - nevertheless, there's a new scare out there. From The Times no less. And it has been picked up by television news as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
