They have a point and a valid case but to be demanding more money at a time when the country could be about to go into another recession is not the right time, everyone has to tighten their belts. I got a 2.5% rise this year in my salary which is half the rate of inflation but I accepted it in the spirit of the current economic turmoil and 'we are all in this together' so the unions should accept 'we are all in this together' too.

Andy Abraham and Ray Quinn hardly sung a song past the mid 80's and still were runner ups and Olly Murs sung a lot of older stuff and was too so I don't think being non contemporary would damage Marcus. Most voters in X Factor are not the stereotypical teenage girls they are housewives and middle aged and 25+, Marcus would get them on board.

Test cricket is where the real cricket is though, one day and 20-20 while entertaining is not the benchmark of cricket greatness it is who can slog the best, in test cricket South Africa have consistently been the best nation outside of Australia since they came back into international cricket but swap England with Australia now.

Man City, achieved nothing for decades and it has taken several billion pounds to get them to the position they are now. As for South Africa that is very harsh, they were banned from international cricket for a generation due to apartheid and came back to an era where cricket was dominated by possibly the finest cricket squad the sport has ever seen (Australia in the Waugh/Warne/McGrath era), even now South Africa are the world #2

Was watching it live at the time and it is one of those moments in motorsport where you know the second it happened the person isn't going to survive. Seems like it was Rossi's bike that struck his head/neck which will be doubly hard for Rossi as they were very good friends and he idolised Rossi and copied his hair.

Nice idea but don't see how it could work, the original Timewarp from the show is sung by a cast including a section from a woman so it would not be effective. Unless he does Damian's version which is far inferior.

I heard a rumour that Frankie will be doing Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon, if he does I will hate him even more as that is one of my all time favourite songs.

I have always felt that Lockerbie was an Iranian event most likely in revenge for the Americans shooting down an Iranian passenger jet they 'mistook' for a military fighter. Never felt that Libya were responsible and that they were just a convenient soft target to blame like Bush telling the American people Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.

Fox was clearly guilty of lack of common sense and rightly had to resign. The man is clearly intelligent as he underwent 7 years of medical training so he has no excuses really, it is not like he is a chav off the street. Letwin should go too, total stupidity.

If that is true then Misha should sue Louis and Tulisa for slander, falsely accusing someone and discrediting them infront if 15m viewers just to help their acts is a new low for X Factor.

Amelia was well and truly set up. At auditions-judges houses she looked fresh and natural with her outfits and bleached hair but then they turned her into a freak with hair like a granny from 1960's Corrie, tons of fake tan and that ridiculous leather jacket. I doubt she had a say in any of that. She had the most vocal talent of anyone who has ever been on X Factor.

The 2 contestants that are alleged to have been bullied by Misha were the bottom 2 in the voting this week so I think it is not a big issue with the public or both would have got sympathy votes and sailed through. Plus no one knows what Misha is supposed to have done. Far too much attention is being given to it on tv and online in the absence of any evidence.

The right one of the two went but neither should have been in the final 2 in the first place :angry:

Kitty is the most fake one in the series. Don't get me wrong I have loved her performances but right from the piano playing, the hairstyles, the outfits, the eccentricity, she is a Lady Gaga tribute act. God she can sing though.

I don't condone bullying but sometimes someone who is strong minded and feisty can be made out to be a bully, if evidence comes to light about Misha that shows out and out bullying I will happily change my opinion of her but at the moment Louis and Tulisa have played judge, jury and executioner without the public being informed what has happened so the public are being meant to hate Misha when they don't know what they are meant to hate her for. That to me is wrong.
