Heading for the bunker Eddie

Sigh, am I the only woman who never carries a handbag?

You're in good company-My wife doesn't either!

Wherever I go, my bag goes! It is usually quite heavy and I have been known to dump some things out of it in the car before shopping so I don't end up with shoulder pain. Every now and again someone needs something I happen to have in my bag "just in case" and I feel vindicated

Yes and I feel bad for not carrying a handbag on those occasions! I think I started leaving it at home when I was recovering from an accident and couldn't carry a heavy bag for long. Then, having done without it for a few months I gave up using one altogether.

I've got 2 man bags lol !

What can we expect from a man who watches X factor! Which one is the emoticon for sighs and shakes head gently?

I have a bag with purse, phone and keys. But that's all!

Hi Mo! My bold in your quote but was that a typo and instead of 'Botox' you actually meant "Full of bollox" ?

Sorry mate-couldn't resist!!

Lol ! Must have been auto correct !

Wife's just gone out to get some milk for the morning - and I quote - "If I'm not back before the start pause X Factor so I can watch it from the start when I'm back" !!! Can't stand it myself (I prefer 'music') but it is good for people watchin'

Glad it's not just me who gets told to do that Martin! It's usually Ant and Dec's Saturday night Takeaway or Corrie with my wife though! lol

Thank god for Mp3 players!

oh nooooooooo its on....run! anyone want a pint? oh no that wont work i dont drink lol

LOL!! Pint for me and a Latte coffee and Cuban cigar for you Andy!

omg id rather the pint lol too much milk and the cigar would have to be a e-cigar lol

I am one of those rare women who hates Xfactor, all soaps, Ant & dec, the Voice and Big Brother. Mercifully Mr Scandi doesn't like those things either! Although I quite like Strictly. Mr Scandi hates it so I usually don't bother.

It's everything wrong with the industry, music produced with no emotion or integrity, a commodity rather than a work of art.

Spot on! There's no passion anymore-It's just manufactured cheese TBH and hence why I cringe when there's a new series each year! The show needs a christian burial as the carcass is beginning to smell bad!

Anyhow,apart from that-Welcome to the forum James!

Cheers!

............. Moving on to 13th September, I can't quite believe I took a peep at the main ITV X Factor site and the headlines for this evening were ...

"Are you ready for this?

Surviving an audition with the Judges in a room is one thing (however scary they are) facing a crowd of thousands (and the Judges) is something completely different.

Tune in Saturday and Sunday 8pm ITV to watch The X Factor Arena Auditions."

Well as the saying goes 'there you have it folks'. Love it or hate it we're now in The Arena  - it could be interesting ?

Or you could tune in to Last Night of the Proms on the BBC - very patriotic sort of night I've always found - but you may not agree ?

All the best Jan

I've got all the X Factors taped and CAN'T WAIT to watch them all lol !

I haven't bothered to watch them this time. Don't know why, just couldn't be bothered .
