Having escaped the pain of Mrs. adonirum watching this live by both of us being at Quo at the O2 on Sunday, I have just had to endure a recording of it being on (in the background as far as I am concerned I hasten to add). However, looking at segments of it, has anyone else been struck at how pitifully gaunt and emaciated Cheryl Cole (or whatever her surname now is) has become? Are we witnessing/about to witness another modern day tragedy before our very eyes along the lines of Karen Carpenter back in 80's ? That is to say, a beautiful, talented young woman, unhappy in her marriage (it is reported), "bullied/controlled" (some might interpret) at work (Cheryl by Cowell, Karen Carpenter by her brother Richard) and craving attention through some sort of misguided body dismorphia. The similarities and parallels appear to be there. What do you think?

The obvious parallels between Karen Carpenter and Cheryl Fernadez-Vasini will obviously be noticed at this particular time, but I feel people are jumping the gun on this. Dodgy camera angles can make anyone seem sick or well in one way or another. It is unfair to label her simply because of media reports and social media trolling. To me she seems a healthy weight, and happy in herself. More to this story than meets the eye perhaps, but why not just give her some space rather than constantly talk about her weight, it surely isn't going to help her in any way?

Can't argue with that *Bob*, perhaps the silkiest wonderful voice ever recorded? Maybe, I say just maybe, eclipsed by Adele?(accepted different style of singing)?


Louisa, genuinely wasn't aware of lots of media reporting on this, but I can't agree with you that she seems a healthy weight, not compared to how she appeared (physically) in the past. How long before she starts wearing Boleros and the like to cover her Clavicle and Scapula regions? Now that really would be an indication, don't you think?

The standard drill is:


Send her out. Couple of spoken ad libs. Let her wobble through the first line - ooh, sounds a bit dodge - she's definitely singing live though isn't she? Cheryl performs the classic 'touch your earpiece manoeuvre' - lawks - her earpiece isn't quite in! Can she pull it off?! Then switch this on (http://www.antarestech.com/products/detail.php?product=Auto-Tune_Live_2) first a little bit, then more as she goes on.


There's a bit in the middle where there's an instrumental break. Switch the plug off. Cheryl shouts 'woo, yeah, c'mob everyone, clap your hands like morons!' Then on it goes again for the rest of the song. The last note is so heavily processed it sounds like a tuning fork. She's done it!


End of song: switch off, Chezza says 'thanks, you've been great'.

The world is crashing and burning in flames around us, foreign johnnies are pounding at her majesties back door looking for handouts, good god fearing honest British people are sleep deprived and near suicidal because of 24/7 Cozy Powell tributes at the hamlet and someone starts a thread about a racist from Heaton that they do not know, who may or may not be thin.

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
