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.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
