OK A quick blog to chat about all the telly stuff.

X-Factor
IN order of preference based on tonights performances I liked...
Leona ... by far the best
Ben... doing very well and could possibly win. If it weren't for Leona he would be my favourite.
Eton Road... Who I am beginning to like in a quirkiy way
Macdonald brothers... Sung quite well, but I knew that they would end up doing a proclaimers song. They looked very good tonight.
Ray- Not a great performance. I wouldnt buy his records. Although he would do well in musical theatre- if they ever make "The Munsters the musical"

And I think Louis is getting more and more childish with his comments every week

Lost
I finally managed to see last Sunday's double episode for Season 3. WOW! What are those others up to? they keep saying they are not the enemy... so why are they keeping them locked up. I enjoyed the Sawyer/Kate stuff (Quite funny) and I am looking forward to seeing how they get out of their predicament.

Torchwood
Also managed to see Last week's episode, Countrycide. What a fantastic episode. Real back to basics, adventure and thriller. Loved the tension all the way through. I take it those villagers were human and doing it just for fun. YUK! Great stuff though. Best episode so far

I'm a celebrity....
Still watching this. It is good stuff, but I am surprised that Scott went last night. I was expecting Lauren to go! I hope Myleene wins

Eastenders....
An they have been cleaning out the old rubbish in the square..... Pauline is about to burn to death (Maybe) She was last seen stroking her furry friend in the bedroom (That's her dog!) whilst Martin runs around like an idiot (No change there then)

and now for a book review.
I have just finished reading James Rollins Map of Bones and it was bloody great. It is similar in a way to Dan Browns stuff. The main characters, a special forces team known as Sigma team, have to follow a set of clues to lead them to the Bones of the Magi and the secret power they possess. Their trail leads them around the Seven Wonders of the world, and they are racing against the Dragon Court, a mysterious old sect (Opus Dei anyone?) who will do anything to get hold of the power themselves. Well worth a read!

ANother wild and fascinating excerp from the house of CJ

I was dancing round the kitchen the other night with my OH, who was making me sandwiches. ACtually she wasn't originally going to make sandwiches for me, but seeing as she had been co-erced by the neighbours to make sanwiches for the guests staying at the B&B, I asked her if she could make me some for work as I thought it would be quite novel to see what eating lunch was like. When I say asked, i actually mean begged, (I can do puppy dog eyes very well). I was getting quite excited because it was going to be cornation chicken sandwiches, unfortunately there was not enough chicken for the guests and me, so I ended up with cheese! Grrr! damn those guests and their expensive tastes

Anyway back to the dancing... We were having a little boogie to Blame it on the boogie. And when it got to the chorus "I just can't control my feet" I decided to do some bizarre feet dancing. IT was then that I got a cramp in my toe (Does anyone else ever get that- it really is quite bizarre) and I stumbled.
My OH looked at me and said "You really can't control your feet, can you"D

I went to town early this morning. I thought I would try to get to the barbers before the rush, as my favourite barbers are very veryy popular. I got there at 5 to 9, and ther were already three people queueing! Damn the pbulic for knowing that they are good as well!

SO I decided to try some christmas shopping- presents for my OH. Now most of you know the system from last year, but I get given a list of things that she would like and it is a good idea to stick to it (Hence the Title). So armed with my list I jogged around the shops. I managed to get a few things, so I feel a bit better about not starting earlier. After all, Christmas day is only a month away.

I did notice it was very windy this morning, especially when you try to go through an underpass- those thins are like bloody wind tunnels. It was hard enough for me to struggle against the wind (Being a hefty and masculine James Bond type) so I had to pity the poor little old lady who was having no success trying to walk through! Being the gentleman that I am, I smiled at her and walked on by, after all I wouldn't want to insult her by offering to help- because that would be rude!

Anyway, on the way back to the car I noticed that the barbers was a bit wuiter so I managed to get my hair cut after all. So all in all not a bad morning.

At the moment:
Doing: My blog and thinking about lunch
Listening to: A Five star album
Planning: Whether on not to go and see Flushed Away or The Santa Clause 3
