iTunes Chart: May II
I hated High School Musical, but I love Glee. I just love the witty, sarcastic dialogue mixed with random pop songs/performances. Whilst I like the fact that all the characters are shades of grey (like real life); and not just good and bad.

S01E17 - "Bad Reputation" Episode Discusion [[US Pace]]
I can't really add much to what has already been said. A great episode. A near perfect balance of plot and songs.

TOTP 2 80's special
Yes. But with the exception of the PSB, they were not Top 10 acts. I mean can you seriously say the likes of Bros; Jason Donovan; Rick Astley; (1980s) Kylie; Wet Wet Wet; Tiffany; Milli Vanilli; etc ...... were as good as Duran Duran; Adam & The Ants; Culture Club; Wham!; Spandau Ballet; Madness; Human League; etc.

Four Lions
I will definitely watch this at some point as I'm a huge Chris Morris fan and of all his fellow (former) Armistice graduates. Last night on Radio 5 I listened to the story that was a significant inspiration behind it: The Blackburn Resistance - 'The Blackburn Resistance' consisted of three twenty-something Muslim men from the North of England. They came to public attention following their arrest for possessing a home movie which police said was terrorist propaganda. The three men had filmed themselves in a local park, rolling along the ground in camouflage and face-paint, seemingly undertaking military training. They edited the video, and interspersed it with images of Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein but maintain the film was nothing more than a spoof -- an homage to the heroes of Hollywood action films. However, judge and jury saw things differently, and two out of 3 members were sentenced to prison under the terrorism act. .... Still seeing as I was aware Chris Morris was mooting about this project in 2002; then I wonder if he will follow through with the concept about the Son Of God coming back to Earth as an African American "King Of Pop" star ...... as I'm sure that will cause some conflict.

STOCK, AITKEN and WATERMAN
I hate him on the Radio. Yet whenever he has been on TV he has strangely always come across better, probably as he is less confident/arrogant in that medium so comes across with far more self-depreciation and modesty than the Northern tosser that he is on weekday mornings on Radio 1.

TOTP 2 80's special
I was watching listening to it, whilst posting online. Again it confirmed the 80s were great until circa 1986 when things went downhill fast.

Although if reports are true next season Liverpool will lose either Gerrard or Benitez; as Gerrard has got frustrated with the manager.

STOCK, AITKEN and WATERMAN
I'm watching When Moyles Met the Radio 1 Breakfast DJs on BBC2 right now, and listening to Mike Smith slag off all the awful Stock Aitken & Waterman records he had to play during his 1986-88 tenure means he has gone up in my estimation by 1000%.

Formula 1 Thread 2010
Believe me you missed little in terms of entertainment. I think the BBC would struggle to come up with a 5 minute package of highlights as it was (probably) duller than the behind close doors meetings going on between the Conservatives and the LibDems in Whitehall right now.. Races like this make me wish they could randomly deluge the circuit with water with about 10 laps to go.

Formula 1 Thread 2010
Seeing as McLaren team principle Martin Whitmarsh has confirmed that the ream broke due to debris on the racing track entering the ream of the wheel, immediately causing the tyre puncture. Then it is hardly driver error. But I guess a lot of posters in this thread would rather watch a process, than watch someone actually race and attempt to over take on the track. That is why I like Hamilton, because his driving reminds me of Ayrton Senna, who would have won a lot more than 3 World Titles had he used his brains more and frequently drove like a nutcase/boy racer. But at least he was exciting to watch compared to the more successful Alain Prost.

TIPs Chart Singles Prediction Game, Week 20 2010
TIPs Chart Singles Prediction Game - Chart Sunday 16th May 2010 :cheer: :yahoo: :dance: :cheer: WEEK 20 IN 2010!!! Each week I will ask you to predict where 14 songs are (hopefully) going to be in the following Sunday's chart. The point scoring will be as before (10 pts if spot on with your prediction down to 1 pt if you are 9 positions out. A 75+ prediction if correct will still be worth 5 Points). If a new single is pulled from release or non-chart eligible then everyone's prediction for that question will be void and everyone will be awarded 5 points. Due to physical singles sales declining I have scrapped the old rule of awarding points should the physical release be postponed so long as the download release goes ahead as scheduled. I will ask THREE bonus questions which require a Yes or No answer. Each bonus question is worth 20 Pts. Therefore for a normal week there will be a maximum of 200 Points to gain. PREDICT THE FOLLOWING : Sales Period: Sunday 9th May – Saturday 15th May Adam Lambert – For Your Entertainment Alexandra Burke – All Night Long Black Eyed Peas – Imma Be Chemical Brothers - Swoon Christina Aguilera – Not Myself Tonight Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina – Stereo Love Ellie Goulding – Guns And Horses Fugative – Crush Glee – Run Joey Run Glee – Total Eclipse Of The Heart Jason Derulo – Ridin’ Solo Kelis – Acapella Mini Viva – One Touch Rihanna – Te Amo Bonus #1: Will Fyfe Dangerfield – She’s Always A Woman be higher than Pendulum – Watercolour in the chart? Bonus #2: Will Diana Vickers - Once be higher than Professor Green – I Need You Tonight in the chart? Bonus #3: Will Lady Antebellum – Need You Now be higher than Tinie Tempah – Pass Out in the chart? You have up until circa 09:00 UK Time on Tuesday 11th May to get your entries in (I'll be keeping the thread open) but entries altered after the midweeks have arrived will be excluded. Each Game counts towards the Overall Leaderboard (The Best 48 Games) at the end of the year. Whilst I will maintain the last 6 weeks Leaderboard for newer players If you have never played before, then here is a great opportunity to join in the fun near the beginning of 2010! :cheer:
