Dancing on Ice 2011 line-up confirmed

2010-12-23T09:45:00.000-08:00

Unlike previous series, Phillip Schofield has picked out some rather random celebrities for 2011's contest. Although it is rumoured to be becoming 12 before the series has even started, here's the full contestant line-up competing on Phillip & Holly's famous rink:

Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona
Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe
Daughter of Richard & Judy Chloe Madeley
Rapper Vanilla Ice
Loose Women star Denise Welch
WAG Elen Rivas
muscleman Craig McLachlan
Radio fella Dave Vitty
Victoria Cross Hero Johnson Beharry
TV presenter Jeff Brazier
EastEnders star Sam Attwater
Corrie actor Steven Arnold
Cricketer Dominic Cork
Kid's TV presenter Laura Hamilton
EastEnders actress Nadia Sawalha
TV actress Angela Rippon

Now who do you think will have to compete again and who may win? More importantly, are we heading for another Ann Widdecombe out of these lot?

Roy's girlfriend's name: finally found out!

2010-12-23T05:43:00.001-08:00

After we read in an article about Roy refusing to give away his girlfriend's name, resulting in us guessing it, nothing could've prepared me for the worst. Tweets from tweeterers who know Roy quite well came flooding in about his family, saying he'd dedicated one of his tweets on the @Scouting4Girls feed to his girlfriend. Whether he did or not it's not yet known, then I had another one saying he'd done an interview saying both his girlfriend and baby's name! So it looks like the article's content has eventually proved false, as when we mistaked him for going out with Louise Glover and said his ex was Sarah Fishwick, her name's turned out to be: Lucy! So we've just guessed! Again!

Gabriella 4 Matt

2010-12-18T14:11:00.001-08:00

Bowling alley barman Matt Leacock should've known that employing singer Gabriella Cilmi to help him in his bowling alley was the wrong thing to do, and he might well regret it as the singer has completely fallen for the bowling barman! And yes, that mutual feeling (including unable to keep her hands off his chest) is involved. There has even been a couple of times when she's said to Matt she loves him! Just what will the bowling barman say to his wife?

Kara wins Strictly

2010-12-18T14:04:00.000-08:00

Our dreams and hopes have come true. When we said in the last post Kara Tointon was in danger of falling through the dancefloor (typically, she was) well tonight, it's been confirmed that Kara has won Strictly Come Dancing 2010! And didn't she just cry with shock when she heard her name be called out! That's the trouble with girls, though....

Shane provides the laughs (and forgets he's on TV)

2010-12-18T06:26:00.001-08:00

Anyone who watches EastEnders will know, actor Shane Richie, best notable for playing Alfie Moon, is the fella that provides the most laughs. And when he's on Don't Forget The Lyrics (DFTL, as it's best known, stands for), it's no exception. Sky viewers may be told he's going to be host that's going to make you laugh from the outset! From a male contestant bringing on a pregnant fiance to him forgetting he's on the TV!

Mistaken for Phil..... Turns out to be Bill!

2010-12-18T05:07:00.000-08:00

Remember when we published in the Fancy bloke update that we didn't know whether the fella off BBC Breakfast's name was Bill or Phil. Well we looked him up online via Google search, and it kept showing this suggestion Bill Turnbull. Although I declined it at first, thinking it's Phil, and actually not Bill, I was in for a shock when I started searching 'Bill Turnbull' and a lot more photos of the BBC Breakfast fella actually came up than when I searched for 'Phil Turnbull', and it was also confirmed on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, that his name is actually Bill, and not Phil! So I'd been going about all this time mistaking him for being Phil, and he's Bill! And here's something else, when I suspected he was actually 42, his real date of birth is 25th January 1956 and he's actually 54! Way too old... And plus, he's been discovered on twitter as @billtu!

Come back, Michael!

2010-12-18T04:54:00.001-08:00

It may be just 3 days until the festivities, but actor Michael French (Nick Jordan) is still showing no signs of returning to Casualty! And it's becoming a right pain when Casualty is being watched for his benefit - in yet it's so sad when we find he's actually not in the drama! We're keeping our eyes peeled though, as an apparant christmas advert has shown on BBC1 that Michael might be back in the drama in time for the seasonal cheer! Oh, lets hope so. Casualty is being watched for your benefit, so come back Michael!

Roy's new haircut

2010-12-07T13:19:00.001-08:00

Scouting For Girls frontman Roy Stride, in the previous SFG TV podcast episodes, didn't look so attractive. Well now, we suspect he's been to the male hairdresses for episode 9, as he has a boyish style, gorgeous attractive haircut. Which tells us we might prefer episode 9 than previous episodes Roy's involved in, as that lovely boyish haircut looks much better than how Roy looked before, and Roy must've thought after fans' complaints that his hair was growing last month, must've been a wake-up call for him to go to the male hairdressing salon and get his hair cut in a boyish style especially for episode 9. He hates his hair growing after all. Suits you, sir!

Phil's caught with wine-stained teeth!

2010-12-07T13:06:00.001-08:00

Anyone who tries bordeux wines will tell you, especially the red colour, the next day you have red-stained teeth like they've been bleeding. Or at least that's what happened to Phillip Schofield, after he'd tried several red wines whilst on This Morning! He hadn't known what'd hit him when he'd asked someone to take a picture of himself and saw he had red-wine stained teeth as if they'd been bleeding, really he'd been trying lots of bordeux wines. Not a good look at all, Phil!

Fern Britton in Strictly?

2010-12-07T11:40:00.000-08:00

Now having Pete Ellard of Scouting For Girls about to become a talked-about Ann Widdecombe very soon, Fern Britton is said to head that route too, as Phillip Schofield's ex-This Morning screen wife is apparently taking to the dance floor in the Strictly Come Dancing christmas special, which will also see the likes of John Barrowman and people take to the dance floor. Like Pete, we can't see Fern getting any trophy, either (Unless she gets ex-This Morning co-host Phil Schofield's vote)! Who'll stand out from the crowd out of Pete in next year's T&D DOI and Fern in the Strictly christmas special?

Kara Tointon to win Strictly?

2010-12-06T09:57:00.001-08:00

With last year's T&D DOI finalist soaring on Strictly Come Dancing at the moment, Kara Tointon is probably in danger of falling through the dance floor! With the semi-final just next week, all of us have a feeling Kara might still be in it and may be lucky enough to get through to the final, after the eviction of the most talked-about contestant Ann Widdecombe. Not sure what's on the dance cards next week though, but we've had a glimpse of her in the TV guide and she's dancing in red clothes, whatever it is! But whatever, will it be enough for Kara to end up lifting the glitterball trophy aloft?

Fancy bloke update

2010-12-06T09:46:00.001-08:00

The fancy blokes in my life are spiralling out of control, and with some of them already out of my mind for now, I've been left with the top 6. You'll be surprised that Brandon Flowers, Roy Stride and Phillip Schofield are still among them, but now some new have come into the limelight. It could only be in the shape of Casualty actor Michael French and BBC Breakfast presenter Phil Turnbull (who I'm not sure whether is Phil or Bill). The ones I've fancied for an awfully long time include Shane Richie & Derek Thompson. And it's been found out that Michael French is actually the same age as Phillip Schofield, which is a somewhat surprise!

2010-12-05T06:54:00.000-08:00

We can confirm the bookies' favourites to win are either going to be Paul Cattermole or Abbey Clancy. But it will all depend on how they'll fair on the rink... Who'll get the trophy and who'll hit the skids?! Can't wait to find out! All details will be published....

Holly Willoughby: 2nd Child?!

2010-12-05T06:48:00.000-08:00

We need an answer to this. We got an email of ITV.com, found after waiting for weeks of checking, and something cropped up saying that Holly Willoughby was announcing she's pregnant again! (But again, Phil's not the father, get it?!). She's expecting yet a second child who is going to be a brother or sister for her son Harry, now one and a half (also not Phillip's child). Her and Dan are said to be absaloutely thrilled, but is she expecting now or does it mean the second baby will be due sometime next year?

Robbie to rejoin Take That?

2010-07-19T12:13:00.000-07:00

Apparantly some rumours have come to light that ipod artist Take That is getting a magical fifth member. Robbie Williams, who dropped out in 1995 after the band performed Never Forget, has decided to rejoin Jason, Howard, Mark & Gary in the hope to start afresh with the foursome, and the first time we heard of it was when Phillip Schofield confirmed it with a newspaper piece on his last This Morning show!

The Cube for a new series?!

2010-07-18T07:09:00.001-07:00

About-to-be champion of T&D's DOI 2010, Phillip Schofield has recently tweeted that a new series of The Cube is set to start on ITV! Whether that's true or not remains to be seen, but the cube's warm-up man, Ray Turner, is apparantly on twitter as @RayTurner57. May we say that if this news is true, we want to be very excited, as that will mean a double dose of the silver fox, having the This Morning weekend shows been scheduled right up until September! It's not yet in the TV listings or on the internet, but we're keeping our eyes peeled!

T&D's DOI line-up 2011 half-confirmed

2010-07-18T05:37:00.001-07:00

Well it's been half-confirmed about who's taking part in next year's Torvill & Dean Dancing on Ice, that's after Phillip Schofield and skating partner Holly Willoughby has won the series that is. We can confirm that taking to the ice apparantly next year includes Paul Cattermole, Pete Ellard, Louise Glover, Stephen Mulhern and Gino D'Acampo. Well if this being the case, lets watch out for Pete doing baywatch on T&D's rink, which will no doubt be no trophy-rewarding performance. And wait for it, that Jim Royale off the Farmfoods advert might also be among the line-up of stars taking part in 2011. Stay tuned, the full line-up will be shortly announced!

Computer going downhill!

2010-07-18T05:28:00.000-07:00

This is about the 3rd post published about what's been named 'Lappie the Laptop'. It's been said that it needs more memory, the internet has been surfed for it a new 2gb memory stick, but it's the screen that needs looking at. Because I could be in the middle of watching a video, working on the Phillip Schofield fan community or replying to a tweet. And all of a sudden, the screen would go funny, which means I end up taking the battery out and find Windows Error Recovery comes up again. There's even been cases where it's reset itself to the 31st of December 2002, 23:15. And to my knowledge there's no viruses or harmful software on the computer to be seen... So I wonder if it's just one-off errors happening

Bizzare call

2010-07-18T05:20:00.000-07:00

Now if it wasn't for the bizzarre text last week, this morning I got call off a number beginning with 079, and I wonder, how on earth have they got my number?! Because from texting me, to the next minute, calling me out of the blue this morning and first I rejected the call, they rang up again, second time I just let it ring. I put it on silent because I couldn't stand the Bullfrog ringtone on for 16 hours! What is it? Well my phone number is displayed nowhere round the internet, so they must be getting the wrong number!

At risk of starting again!

2010-07-18T05:08:00.001-07:00

Nothing can say as to how furious I am that the computer I am using has been formatted, and it's still on the blink. But I've had to start again syncing the Scouting For Girls tv podcast on from scratch because episode 8 of the podcast has been released and at first I worried when it came up syncing podcasts will replace the contents of the previous podcasts and ITunes U items on the ipod ''Silverpod'' with podcasts and ITunes U items from this ITunes library. Are you sure you want to sync podcasts?" and I was livid. But whatever did it mean by ITunes U items?! Nevertheless, I pressed Sync podcasts and apply under the memory bit, and hey presto, it hasn't affected anything else!

Happy birthday to Fern!

2010-07-17T02:45:00.000-07:00

It's only been a year ago since she left This Morning, so you're going to find it hard to believe that Phil's old co-host, Fern Britton, turns 53 today! Having packed in her This Morning job and now became a viewer, her husband Phil (Vickery) is regularly seen as a chef with Holly & Phil on the flagship daytime show, always cooking something or other! We don't know whether Fern's fulfilled her plans to cook and speak Italian, or grow her own vegetable patch since leaving This Morning, but nevertheless what we do know is it's her birthday today, and we'll broadcast our wishes live on here.... Happy birthday Fern, and keep ''smiling and giggling''!

Roy stays strong for his son

2010-07-16T14:42:00.001-07:00

Scouting For Girls roving reporter Roy Stride is a vegetarian, we all know that because we hadn't seen his appearance on BBC2's Something For The Weekend last weekend or the weekend before. However, his two-year-old son Freddie has a somewhat passion for meat, and when he asks his father to cook it for him, Roy's nearly selfish to his little boy by refusing to cook it! However he tries his best to be a hands-on, passionate dad and eventually gives in, but warns him he has to eat it the moment it gets put in front of him! Aww!

Torvill & Dean Dancing on Ice: Quarter finals start next Friday!

2010-07-16T14:06:00.001-07:00

The line-up of Torvill & Dean's Dancing on Ice is surely getting smaller, as it started off with just 20 skating stars eager to get to the finals but only one will pick up the trophy this year in T&D's DOI class. The hot favourite to win is Phillip Schofield, with partner Holly Willoughby, and it looks as if he's going to win as already he's in next Friday's quarter finals! That's right, it's stage 18 of the competition, and the 5 remaining: Faye Sawyer, Gemma Bissix, Kian Egan, Steve Jones & Phillip Schofield will battle it out with their partners for a place in week 19! But only four will get there. And after a long enough rest, the remaining should be eager enough to get down and get ready to dance! But the worst bit is two will be in the results show and will end up performing again. And one will miss out on the semi-final! So who will be the next star who gets the boot? Oh, we can't wait to find out!

YET MORE FRIEND REQUESTS!

2010-07-16T05:38:00.000-07:00

I could swear that other MySpace users know that I'm definitely on MySpace, because each and everytime I check my email I find MySpace has emailed me 3 or 6 friend requests in a day and I'm starting to think do they really think I'm a user that's online 100% of the time to accept friend requests on MySpace? Because they must be seeing my profile and thinking, 'oh, I'll send her a friend request'. And these are beginning to start at around 60 a day, every 60 hours, even though I'm not a MySpace user who's online! And it's coming to something, as I'm beginning to think that like Facebook, I should've also set myself private on MySpace aswell, because I'm beginning to get sick of the vast majority of friend requests coming through every 60 hours a day. It's now never rarely twitter followers and direct messages that I get notified about. It's all MySpace, MySpace, MySpace, request, request, request. And today was no exception. Three friend requests were found, hey, check out my music and see what you think... Add me on Facebook, etc, how are you.. just thought I'd say hi?! and all comments like that. Well I have no clue how to set myself private, but if this carries on, some requests will be getting denied!

Holly & Phil party on their last show in style!

2010-07-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

Well Holly & Phil have done their last ever This Morning show, which means we'll have nothing interesting to watch next week because Eamonn & Ruth will be on and I dislike them! You would've guessed though that it'd be packed full of fun! A sports day, and both Holly & Phil had their own teams. Holly's we didn't quite get the name of, but Phil's was called 'Schofe's Spooners'. And the TM best bits, which really confirms how many giggling fits the pair have getting themselves into this year! And as we said, a poll had since confirmed the couple have had about 5,577 giggling fits together! That's Phil putting himself into a situation with Holly to which he just can't get out of!

Fell asleep listening to SFG!

2010-07-15T08:28:00.001-07:00

Last night was somewhat weird. Pushing the weird text to the back of my mind, I listened to my favourite ipod artist Scouting For Girls on the ipod to try to get me to sleep. And it seemed to of done a success as I played the full Everybody Wants To Be On TV album, and before I knew it, I fell asleep dancing to them sitting up and couldn't open my eyes! The miracle was, I was still dancing to them... Even though I had my eyes shut! That's because their music's so good, it has to be said. To get it off to a head, I felt like I won the lottery when I got the notification SFG are also following me on my Roy fan page like I've always wanted! They're definitely my favourite artist on the ipod now!

Hannah dyes her hair

2010-07-15T05:37:00.001-07:00

A change is as good as a rest, and about 77% of us will agree, there are about 80% of women who are going about dying their hair with nine times out of ten the UK's number 1 hair colourant, Nice N' Easy. Among them is ex-S Club 7 member Hannah Spearritt, now married to bandmate Paul Cattermole after just a month before last when they got back together. Now is it just us, or has Hannah used Paul's hairdye on the sly? Because she's gone from beautiful light brunette to a black gothic-like hair style, whatever she's used!

Holly & Phil do tomorrow

2010-07-15T04:48:00.000-07:00

Sad news for Holly & Phil - they don't want this to happen but after tomorrow their summer break begins. Tomorrow, Holly & Phil are back to host their last show on the series and I know it's only been a while since he did this last year with Fern on her birthday *sniff*. And like me, I think they will be back commensing September time. Well here's one thing: lets hope the pair have a nice summer break together sitting by the riverside to keep cool and not on the couch with pretend mugs of tea!

Bizzarre text

2010-07-14T13:04:00.000-07:00

There's something that's going to stay in my head for probably 16 days now. Having just found out the fact Roy Stride has a son, tonight, I have somehow received a text to my number, on the Nokia 1600 phone, from a number beginning with +44, and all it's said is a phone number, and nothing else. And it shocked me when I opened the text and found it! Right there on the screen! Whether they've wanted me to call it, text it, I don't know.... But it was really weird, because all it said was a phone number and nothing else. Questions are, who will that number connect to, will they want me to call it, will I receive it again, and more importantly, how did they get my number to send me something like that? Answer to one question is I don't know and the answer to the other question is I don't have the intentions of finding out who the hell that number belongs to! Because if I find out, I might be in for a shock!

Roy has a son!

2010-07-13T07:10:00.000-07:00

We hadn't known a thing about this but now we do - just as we thought he's about to have a son with Louise Glover, I got a tweet off a SFG fan saying he already has one! He has a little boy about two called Freddie, and the first thing she knew of it was when she saw a picture of it on SFGtv on the shelves on episode 3.7! We might have to download the episode to find out the truth, but put it this way, we haven't known anything of it until now!

Who's the mummy?

2010-07-12T06:01:00.001-07:00

Now it's been found out that Greg 'Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall' Churchouse of Scouting For Girls has a little daughter, we'd like to know who the mother is (baring in mind this was before he started seeing his now wife Joanna). His mate Roy first got a glance of his daughter when he came over with her into his house - her name is Chloe. The little tot is only 3, and judging by this the Hugh lookalike is having a really good bonding session with his daughter in his car. Only trouble is, who IS her mother?

Holly wins the snail race!

2010-07-12T05:52:00.001-07:00

Today on This Morning, a race was on as Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby and soap queen Sharon Marshall went head to head in This Morning's snail race! Of course, Holly's head had fallen off her snail's shell, Phil's was on the race track and Sharon's was heading for the pole. Later, the snails were placed in three places on the track, one said Sharon, one said Phillip and one said Holly. It was a race to see which snail would head to the finish line first, and later in the day the finish line was moved more nearer and who's snail should cross the finish line but Holly's! So Phil's the loser and his girlfriend Holly wins hands down!

Phil has trouble putting his face straight

2010-07-11T07:29:00.001-07:00

Holly Willoughby's gorgeous boyfriend Phillip Schofield will try anything for Holly's amusement, even if it's smelling a flower full of pollen then getting hayfever after it.... Well on today's weekend show, Holly had given Phil a strawberry rose that he could eat for a bet! Only he'd bitten into it, and the next thing we knew, he was unable to keep a straight face - apparantly the strawberry sauce in the rose seemed to taste very sour!

Happy birthday to Tana!

2010-07-11T07:20:00.000-07:00

Former Torvill & Dean Dancing on Ice contestant and wife of former killer now apparant solo artist Brandon Flowers, Tana Flowers is 29 today. It might feel odd for her to feel the same age as her husband but put it this way, doesn't it feel good when you're about to hit the milestone 30? Tana still won't deny the accusations that she's 28, but the birthday girl is planning a night out with her mates to celebrate, and Brandon hopes she doesn't come back drunk and tipsy!

It's like I've never been!

2010-07-11T02:53:00.000-07:00

Be shocked to learn that I don't feel shippy in the slightest, but you're about to get the story of my holiday to which I've just came back from. Being on a ferry for two days was nerve wracking, and each little episode has been split into groups.

Day 1:
Breakfast: this was before I went, and I had the following: cheese sandwiches, animal bar, glass of chocolate slim fast and the last of the bottle of orangeade.
Afternoon: on the way to the ferry terminal, in the taxi, feeling quite sick and tired, but overall ready to board the ship. I had the last of the pads on. With the period starting at the last minute, I was protected, but there was no need to worry.
Evening: The beds were extremely comfy. I was so distressed I couldn't sleep. Overall, I managed anyway and I was asleep by the next morning!

Day 2
Breakfast: bits of chicken, grapefruit juice, bits of melon. This was on the ship, about to dock into Amsterdam. I wasn't feeling pretty good having to get up early, but I just say managed to eat and had a bit of a good time.
Afternoon: off shore. In Amsterdam. Was very hot. So hot infact I complained I felt like a 'black carrot' in the greenhouse. To get things off to a head, I had 2 bottles of drink in a lifetime - having had a glass of grapefruit juice on the morning. At 3:30pm round about, it was time to get back on the coach to the ship.
Evening: so wound up and distressed again couldn't sleep. Had a stiff neck again, couldn't lie down - Noka needed charging up so I was distressed waiting for her to charge so I could text myself again. Had to wake up in the middle of the night to unplug it and asleep by the next morning. What was new!

Day 3
Breakfast: 1 bit of melon, cheese and chicken, grapefruit juice. was in a hell of a mood having losing iron with the period and had an alcopop on the last night of day 2, which I forgot to mention. Hangover, however I could get ready and sit texting myself for a bit - what's worse when you've just getting up out of bed!
Afternoon: in the inspection cue, off shore. Started to feel hot already, carrying a heavy bag. Bought a bottle of oasis in the check-in terminal port of tyne then headed off out and waited for the taxi. Needed jacket because it was a bit nippy! Then I was on the way of the taxi going home, just getting home now - don't feel shippy whatsoever!
Evening: having had two alcopops last night, felt drowsy and tired this morning having to get up early and horsed in the bed right through the night as I travelled - I've the ipod which I will listen to tonight if I'm up to it and then text myself for a bit before sleeping on side. I'll just thank god I'm back in my own comfortable bed!

And day 4, well..... Hopefully a lie in! Put it this way, feels like I've never been!

Four email accounts... But one gets never-ending spam!

2010-07-09T02:32:00.000-07:00

This might sound daft, but I've roughly 4 email accounts with Yahoo. The 5th is with Gmail, which is where the twitter followers, MySpace friend requests and the like have been directed to. But one of my yahoo accounts is exposed to never-ending spam. All from people with weird names coming from Burkina Faso in America nine times out of ten. And weird email addresses, people like Mrs Claire Page sending a letter from their sick hospital bed. And it's getting to the stage now where I'm thinking of terminating it again. But I can't, because of blog posts comments, Charlotte Hendy's Hollyoaks number 1 fan group and blip.fm. Now I think it's about time I should cancel my blip.fm account and rejoin with the username @DancingoniceFP. Because they may not come through if I decide to become active again, because I'm no longer @louiseolver! As for the spam, it'll just have to bide!

If only Roy was on ITV!

2010-07-09T02:00:00.000-07:00

Now Roy Stride of Scouting For Girls may be everyone's favourite weather boy, and he's mine so much so infact I've made a fan page for him, you can follow it by going here. But isn't it crazy that Roy couldn't be ITV's weather boy? Because nowadays, it's getting to the stage where you have to face weather men/women saying, ''it'll be broadcast rain for today'' turns out it isn't.... And it does get to the stage where you just don't believe them anymore! Even if they keep you posted! If only fancy man Roy of SFG got the job as ITV's forecaster in the weather office instead!

Day of crying

2010-07-07T10:45:00.000-07:00

All I've done today is cry. I don't know what had set me off, but an emotional bug seems to of been kicking in the pit of my stomach. It isn't like me to cry, so it was really unusual when today I just started out of the blue. Crying, crying and crying.... I stopped eventually but whatever had started it in the first place?

Phil gets the pea crown!

2010-07-05T05:43:00.001-07:00

Later today, belly laughing couple were joined by pea-shooting world champions for a pea-shooting contest on today's This Morning! Holly & Phillip went head to head and got three goes each. What they had to do was blow one pea out of the tube three times and hit the circle. First to go was Phil. And each of his three goes, he'd got it spot on! Didn't miss once. It's pea work if you can get it, and either Phil... Or Holly, would earn themselves the pea crown. Of course, come Holly's go, the first pea she picked got stuck, then she got it out by a stick one of the champions gave her but missed.... And she did the same again throughout her other three goes. In the end, Phil was the one who got the pea crown!

Roy and the dirty pass!

2010-07-05T05:37:00.000-07:00

Having being given a pass by the backstage team on his last gig, Louise Glover's boyfriend Roy Stride isn't that naive! And he soon finds he regrets having one as they're murder to get off, and not only that, but he could get wrong for using scissors on public transport as it is an offense. So all Roy can do is just stare at the dirty pass, wishing he didn't ask for it in the first place.... And it seems he hasn't only got that to deal with, as later in the day Roy discovered his tour manager had fallen asleep as another result!

Brandon to go solo?

2010-07-05T05:34:00.001-07:00

Now the news is out that former Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is going to put fronting a Las Vegas band behind him and concentrating on his own solo career. The once-frontman of The Killers but not anymore will be releasing his new album 'Flamingo' very soon and is set to appear on show's like This Morning and GMTV.... We can't wait!

Yet another twitter page

2010-07-03T11:39:00.000-07:00

I deleted my getmrfonline account ages ago, I don't frankly care about Brandon anymore, but I've decided to create some new accounts. I might not be on them for a very long time, but a change is as good as a rest. As we all know, Holly & Phil are about to be winners of T&D's ice class, so setting up a page to support them seems worth the while. For all This Morning fans out there too, I created a page with the username @ThismorningFP, I haven't used it for about a month or so ago now, wouldn't let me do anything with it, but the links are below if you want to check them out!

Pete shows his angry side!

2010-07-03T08:35:00.001-07:00

Pete Ellard has became quite angry with bandmates Roy Stride & Greg Churchouse. Not only has he found out Roy said he shouldn't of put that YouTube video of himself attacking his car, but he's gone nuts at the fact Roy & Greg had shown fans his personal thank you on SFGtv 7.5, which he'd wanted to keep private. Pete had scoured YouTube the other day and found the video Roy & Greg had uploaded of himself dancing to Might Aswell Jump in a Belfast dressing room! He'd gone berzerk and then threatened Greg & Roy that he'll find a way to delete their own YouTube channel if they don't stop posting crazy videos!

'Now I know my ABC'

2010-07-03T06:15:00.001-07:00

On the 28th of last month, a hysterical surprise happened for Holly & Phillip. Who should pop in but former Sesamie Street character Elmo itself, to scour Holly & Phil's sofa and of course chat about his journey to London with them. But it wasn't only that he came to chat about, the three-and-a-half year old monster also bitten Holly's hip, tied Phil up then later in the day sang the alphabet with the couple... Aww!

Foot on the mend

2010-07-03T06:07:00.001-07:00

Since I slipped on the wet floor last month on Saturday, the foot and ''apparant'' soft tissue injury and strain of the tendons is on the mend, however, it does feel as though there's a bruise on the bone somewhere and still hurts a canny bit when I bend my toes back. But the good thing is, it's no longer hurting when I walk. It should of gone completely in a couple of months time, as it's slowly but surely getting there. But this is going to be the last time I come across some hard, wet, slippery floor in bare feet!

A blog dedicated to Holly & Phillip!

2010-07-02T11:28:00.000-07:00

My obsession with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield is never going to fade, and those out there will know. I would live with that couple if they were the last on earth, and my reminders each and every time seem to consist of their shows. Phil & Holly: TM Saturday, Phil & Holly: TM Sunday and where revelant, Phil & Holly on Dancing on Ice, which will begin again next year. Well today, I have made a little something devoted to the couple. It will be filled with posts about them, but isn't quite up and running as yet. It's called ''Holly & Phillip'' and it's a blog, made by fan me, with and on the blogging website, tumblr, millions of people on the internet are registered with it. as and when, I will be updating the Phil & Holly blog when something about the couple crops up, you can see for yourself how it is at the moment by clicking here

Michaela meets a fella down the pub..... So Roy plans bittersweet revenge!

2010-07-02T10:37:00.000-07:00

Roy Stride has been left heartbroken as he's received an unwanted text off his missus, Michaela Strachan. Explaining she's met a man, who ever so happens to be her ex, down the pub. Roy tells Greg he's very pissed off by the fact and plans bittersweet revenge. The SFG laurel and hardy, who are together again in Greg's back yard this Friday night, indulge on Roy's little plan and the girl Roy plans to get hold of happens to be the one who played an attractive young model in the song video She's So Lovely. Believe it or not, Roy plans to date Louise Glover, tracking her number down, then planning to text his current missus Michaela Strachan telling her they're finished! How long will it be before Roy and Louise are on cloud nine and he ends up chaining Michaela to a radiator to break such news?

Brandon's the birthday boy! (21st June)

2010-07-01T12:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry it's not spot on the date, but due to ''faulty'' internet and a ''faulty'' computer, we decided to publish it now. Ex killers frontman Brandon Flowers's birthday has been and gone, and he turned 29. It's amazing how years pass by so quick. In actual fact, his wife took him on holiday to celebrate, then as a surprise bought him a new phone because his other phone is becoming old having it be on a contract and had a string of endless top-ups!

A new era...

2010-06-30T13:49:00.000-07:00

It is the end of the month. And year, as some people prepare to move on to pastures new. One thing is I won't see my friend Leann Davison again, as she is moving out of the college altogether and hoping to get a job. We gave each other a goodbye hug this afternoon, and I hope to find another friend at the college next year!

New proud parents!

2010-06-20T09:17:00.001-07:00

Congratulations are in order for telly couple Lauren Laverne & Steve Jones, as Lauren had entered labour 12:23pm this afternoon, and things happened so fast Steve ended up holding Lauren's hand in the delivery room! Couple of minutes after labour though (and as a good job she was in the hospital delivery room), her contractions kicked in, Steve felt a loss of his circulation but it was all worth it as to the couple's amazement, a tight gush and their little boy popped out, just like that! It wasn't done with Lauren's push though, and the pair have named their baby son Jake, and he weighed in at 2lb 9oz!

Crash, slip bang!

2010-06-20T09:01:00.001-07:00

An accident happened last night which was quite unusual. While there was wet floor in the bathroom, I went to get a wipe I'd used to put into the bin, only as I did so my right foot went sideways and I slipped straight onto the floor! Luckily I'd landed on my back and nothing else was hurt, but it could've turned out worse.... If that wasn't anything to go by, I think the breakage of my four little toes has been a result!

Holly's blamed for shoplifting!

2010-06-13T07:17:00.001-07:00

She may look happy, but the news is out. Apparantly the lady of the south bank shop in London is becoming very cross with Holly Willoughby everytime Phil Schofield's babe walks into the shop to get something. And that's because she could've sworn she saw her take a magazine out of the store without paying for it the other day! And so everytime she picks another one up the lady throws ice down her back and asks, ''did you REALLY take that book without paying for it the other day?!" But has she really stole it or is the lady just telling lies to throw ice down her back?

Roy and the live love song!

2010-06-13T06:52:00.000-07:00

There is always something about Scouting For Girls's Roy Stride and how he plays live compared to how he sounds on the normal music video. There's this UB40 cover he reprises, or more like unearthes, and he even lets the crowd have his input! He seems to get a seemingly effortless reception, however the song he's singing we may want on the ipod. Here's a snippet of Roy singing UB40's Can't Help Falling In Love, to which he gets a seemingly effortless reception:

...And here's the proper UB40 one:

Leg (minus hip) pain

2010-06-13T06:35:00.000-07:00

If I'm not in hip pain to get things off to a head, I now feel a pulled-muscle(ish) pain in the thigh (middle bit) of my leg. Now if needs be I'm going to cut out the walking I do and ask for a sit down after 5 minutes, but this is really getting on my body now. I'm weakening with age, and I know it might sound daft, but walking is starting to become my first weakness. I hate walking too much, and if a hip pain isn't anything to go by, a pain in the thigh bit of my leg is another result!

Phil manages a perfect 30!

2010-06-12T15:56:00.001-07:00

Despite week one of Torvill & Dean's Dancing on Ice competition when Phil came 3rd skating to Addicted To Love by Robert Palmer and earned his first perfect thirty by a first set of decent straight sixes - well last night, week 13 of the competition, Phil did the same again. This time he and Holly glided away to Take That's Shine, and Phil just had to triumph and prepare himself for the score! In rolled in a 6.0 from Karen, a 6.0 from Nicky, a 6.0 from Jason, a 6.0 from Ruthie and a 6.0 from Robin - and that's when it gave him the BIG 30.0 as a total score! He even got praised for the end of his routine, which saw the silver fox do an electric-guitar looking ending! We think he's going to become this year's perfect champion!

I've became a Scouting For Girls wolfcub!

2010-06-12T15:49:00.001-07:00

Because I'm becoming such a fan of ipod artist Scouting For Girls, it was suggested by my brain (and heart) that I register on scoutingforgirls.com and become a wolfcub! I've already played their music at least 64 times and downloaded the podcast of SFGtv to watch, now I've decided to become a wolfcub for the band and signed up. If I forget my password, I ask them to send me a temporary one. Now incase I log in again, I've changed it to a one that will easy stick into my head and hopefully will not be forgotten!

NON STOP SPAM!

2010-06-12T15:31:00.000-07:00

I have felt like this: this: and this: when I checked my Gmail account for the second time and saw spam in it! When I thought only my louiseolver@yahoo.com account just received it! No, it's starting to come through the Gmail one, too, and I may have to contact Google and give their customer services a try because it's becoming a never-ending shock! I haven't received spam in my Gmail account at all, and to get some is extremely unusual. What's more, there was three. God, you know I'd just love to find out where from, why, and how I am getting it!

Love in the air for Roy & Gabriella!

2010-06-12T14:11:00.001-07:00

You might think this is the wrong thing to say - we certainly don't feel a spark may be arising between Roy Stride and Gabriella Cilmi. Roy, for starters, is currently married to once-80s TV presenter Michaela Strachan. And singer Gabriella Cilmi has a boyfriend of her own. Though the chemistry may be in the air for them, today Gabriella has attempted to kiss Roy and Roy hasn't accepted it... Yet. But watch this space, it might be a chemistry bubbling, or, due to Roy being married to Michaela, they might only be friends!

1st mystery money mail (into the google account)

2010-06-11T15:49:00.000-07:00

Spam spam and more spam is getting on my wick. If it's not my louiseolver@yahoo.com receiving it, it's the one in Google mail (not really, this has been the first one). I checked the Gmail and there was 6 - the first scouting for girls newsletter, 3 or 4 more twitter followers (some to follow back, some already following). But one caught my eye, and it was from someone called ROSE. The e-mail address had apparantly earned £14,0000 million (or above that sum of money) and it didn't say 'To Me' like it does. Which got me thinking straight away that it was spam! Anymore of that nature and I'm reporting it to Google.

And another thing, Yahoo will not let me change my mail profile picture for some reason. When I try to upload a fresh image, it comes up Bad Request: Result: Undefined. I press try again and the same happens. I hope it gets resolved soon, as one thing's for sure: I'm not contacting Yahoo's rubbishy costumer care service!

New layout!

2010-06-11T15:08:00.000-07:00

Well we did put the wrong date on the last post - sorry about that. And blogger, what's more, have introduced a new blogger template designer, which changes the look and feel of the blog. We have opted for this new blue layout (blue is my favourite colour, after all). So does everyone like the layout or do you loathe it? We'd love to hear your views!

Got their address!

2010-06-09T03:59:00.001-07:00

I must an e-mail mad geek, because the next persons to receive an e-mail are ipod artists Scouting For Girls. When Roy, Greg & Pete next check their e-mail, they'll be surprised to see one from me, their biggest fan, saying that I fancy Roy loads! On saying that, I'm still waiting a response back, and will add their contact in my Google mail contacts with a picture so when the response comes, ''Scouting For Girls'' will be displayed!

Early finish

2010-06-09T03:43:00.000-07:00

Weird day - I usually finish at quarter past one, instead, I've the rest of the day off by coming home at 11am! Early, but that was the time schedule.

It was supposed to be sar day, but Jean Black apparantly wanted us in for Numeracy, so that had just gone down the drain - in for 2 hours.... POINTLESS!

Somewhat surprising notification

2010-06-08T09:34:00.000-07:00

Today I checked the e-mail (gmail) to see what delights was in store, to see if there were more twitter followers to follow back or idiots to ban from the Phil fan community. Only it turns out a somewhat surprising notification e-mail come from someone called Bethany C explaining she'd visited this blog and was super impressed by it's content and design! She also explained she'd launched a site that lets you share your fashion tips and get answers to your fashion-related questions called lookville. It was for Beta-testing, apparantly, but unfortunately it was invitation only. She said she'd love to have me on it and inserted a link to click if I was interested. I looked at the site and was forwarded to a form requiring a sign-up. I wasn't interested at first, but I hope the link is valid still just incase I change my mind and do become interested to sign up in the meantime

Michaela vs Holly: Fight?

2010-06-08T09:28:00.001-07:00

Phillip Schofield's missus (pictured top) and Roy Stride's missus (pictured below) aren't the best of best friends at the moment. Michaela's nudging her back up against Holly for heaven knows what, while Holly's nudging her back up against Michaela! A fight could well kick off between the two women, and we think we know why.... Michaela Strachan's the wife of the Scouting For Girls singer and Holly Willoughby's the wife of the Dancing on Ice/This Morning host!

Phillip & Roy: Who's the sexiest?

2010-06-08T09:04:00.000-07:00

We're pushing our backs up on who's the sexiest fella out of the two following fancy men I fancy. Roy Stride of Scouting For Girls and Phillip Schofield of Dancing on Ice. On the one hand, I much admire how Phil looked (hairwise) in 2007. On the other, I much admire how Roy looks in the video for Heartbeat. We have inserted the videos below and we'll let you decide who I have a right to fancy most (based on grins, looks and hair).

Phillip (Dancing on Ice 2007)

Roy (song video for Heartbeat)

Sorry we had to insert the making of the song video for Roy's look, but it's as close as we could get.... Who's sexy out of the two? You decide!

Another boring test!

2010-06-08T07:51:00.000-07:00

In literacy today, as usual, we were asked to work towards our portfolios which we are doing until the end of the year at least. You would've guessed that another boring test was among the heap of things we had to do, but I don't mind doing it. One thing made me blush however, and I'll take great pride in sharing it with you all!

I was asked to do a short task book involving TV records. There were three TV records made up, plus questions to answer on the next page. And I had to choose from answers A, B, C or D. Put a circle round what I thought was the correct answer and if I changed my mind I could just cross out my circle and put another one on another answer. One of the TV records happened to involve This Morning, that's fancy man Phillip Schofield's programme! I almost went green with envy when the date: 9th July 2002, Phil may of joined the day before that, but he joined the daytime show in 2002 anyway. Then the next task asked you to make a TV record of your own, with basic information such as the date, the channel, the name of the programme and the times it ran til. I was going to go with Dancing on Ice, but instead I had enough of making myself blush so I put EastEnders on my TV record instead! How stingy! Well actually, it was to stop me thinking about it as much because I'm a know-it-all about programmes like that!

After I'd finished my own TV record I was asked to create, I then had to have a TV chat with Danielle Jackson using the basic info I had on my TV record plus other TV programmes I liked to watch. And this was the bit where I had to make myself blush and reveal, ''I like to watch everything including Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby". Now some people don't even know how much I REALLY love that silver fox Phillip and his now-wife Holly, some people don't even know who the twosome are, but Danielle Jackson knows who I'm going on about because she's watched or met them before (I suspect). Anyway, it's Phil's looks I'm falling for, and now that's over, I tend not to dwell on it. Hopefully it'll be something else that doesn't even come close to me blushing or revealing how much I love Phil the next time!

The weird (brick related) dream

2010-06-07T09:22:00.001-07:00

The dream I had last night was another somewhat unfamiliar dream involving technology. Infact, I'm not sure whether I've had it before. The suspended brick, which was named Nokie til 2006, had all the keys which were working perfectly until it broke down in Larashelle in France back in 2008. Since then, I've been left unable to use key 7. And I know what you're thinking, it's the amount of abuse I've given it over the years from 6 months to 7 year old. Well last night, it was quite funny, because I had a dream that I could still use key 7! Really I now can't. I'll be delighted if one day my estranged dream comes true, but how really deluded was I? I still can't use key 7, it's all been a dream!

Roy gets his hair cut

2010-06-07T09:10:00.000-07:00

How smart does the Scouting For Girls singer Roy look now with his hair cut? Don't get us wrong, it may of taken a little persuasion from his wife Michaela Strachan, but we think he looks champion now his hair's lovely and short and Michaela has also confessed it's much better cut than bits of hair poking at either side which makes it look like it's long and isn't a very good look for Roy!

Paul & Hannah: Now a married couple

2010-06-07T08:50:00.001-07:00

Who'd of thought that ex-S Club 7 bandmates Hannah Spearritt and Paul Cattermole would fall back in love with each other even after Hannah cheated on Paul a few years ago by having an affair with Andrew-Lee Potts of Primeval? Well all has been forgiven, and after the birth of their baby daughter, Paul had a surprise in store: in the shape of getting down onto one knee and proposing to Hannah! On the 4th June last week, the pair have got married then spent a night in Island for their honeymoon.... Ahh, god bless!

The germs return!

2010-06-06T07:09:00.000-07:00

If I wasn't coughing my chest off alone the last time, I'm coughing again, only this time, a runny nose's come with it. I don't know why this has to happen the week I'm back to the college, but I may have to be off because if I sneeze I'll get wrong - I'll be made to clean the tables. And as where food is being prepared, I'll have to tell Diane White I can't cook the way I am, whether she'll believe me or not I don't know. Just why do I keep getting coughs and colds and illnesses I can't afford!

Fancy bloke update

2010-05-28T12:06:00.001-07:00

You'll LAUGH out loud when you read this. Actually, I appreciate it. There isn't just one new fancy bloke come into the limelight, there's actually THREE. A better list is clarified below. One of them of which you may know well on the poltic side of things, but the other two might not be very familiar. Clue 1: He fixed my computer and Clue 2: Former member of S Club 7. Do you get the picture? The one pictured happens to be the leader of the party Liberal Democrats, who were winning across Britain sometime last month. OMG, indeedy! If you look at the list below, it clarifies who's hot and who's not and more importantly, who I'm most obsessed with as ''Flavour of the month''.

FANCY BLOKE LIST (Who's hot, who's not, who's the flavour of the month)
Gary Barlow (Take That)
Roy Stride (Scouting For Girls)
Paul Cattermole (S Club 7)
Phillip Schofield (This Morning/Dancing On Ice)
Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrats)
Brandon Flowers (The Killers)
Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs)
Dan Reinstein (Phil's eye surgeon)
Edward Rooney (Peterlee Dentist Practice)
Vernon Kay (The whole 19 yards/beat the star, etc)
Stephen Mulhern (Britain's got more talent)
Jeremy Kyle
Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
IT Acumen Fella (The bloke who's fixed the computer)

The Flavour of the month is........ Roy Stride of SFG!

Result of the sexy fella stakes: Phillip wins hands down!

2010-05-28T10:42:00.001-07:00

Earlier this month we had a hotly-contested competition between two of the fancy blokes (which as you know don't really have a much important place in my life because of their wives). But you should've seen the result.... Now you get to know! The competition was positioned at depending on how cute the fella was grinning. If they had 80 tallies, they were the runner up, 100 or more tallies and they were classified as the winner. Well, as we say, it was hotly-contested, and may we point out we got one runner-up and one winner as a result! Scouting For Girls frontman Roy was the runner-up with 80. So that resembled an even more picture, but we think Phil was the winning grinner, as when we rounded up the results, it turned out he got 105 tallies in just ten minutes of watching him on This Morning. Mr Schofield won hands down!

Long time, no update

2010-05-28T10:38:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, now I am the happiest person alive (again, but for how long?). Last time we said about the computer freezing. We took it to IT acumen and after a few days, they have finally fixed it - so I can imagine you're proud at finding this blog update after weeks of checking. Layout will be changed shortly, so watch out for a post regarding that.... And not forgetting: This week coming it will be leading into next month, so keep your eyes open!

Computer freezing!

2010-05-07T10:26:00.001-07:00

....Now this is all I need. Everytime I have shut the computer down and go on it again, it freezes. Nothing comes on the bottom of the mouse pad, nothing comes on the screen. But, oddly enough, the power button is still lit. There has been Emma L saying I should do a system restore and uninstall Google Chrome, there's @NON53N53 saying I shouldn't have the computer on the bed because it can overheat. I don't know whether people are talking or doing rubbish, but if one day I can't get it to work, this post will tell you why. It started yesterday, and since then, I've even been too frightened to switch it off in the past few hours. Is there any good people who can lend me any good advice? If you can, it will be much appreciated. And I will have to take it to IT acumen and see what they can do aswell

This Morning general election

2010-05-07T10:09:00.000-07:00

Six members of the This Morning family: agony aunt Denise, italian chef Gino, soap queen Sharon, TV veteran Paul, and most importantly, boyfriend and girlfriend Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, were put up for a vote on who will be crowned This Morning PM in This Morning's very own general election. It was a nail biting decision, but the result was later revealed today when it turned out the new PM is silver fox Phillip Schofield! Well we couldn't congratulate him on winning the vote more, it was like deciding the winner for this year's Torvill & Dean Dancing on Ice... Which probably ends up being Phillip again!

Chocolate cake

2010-05-04T10:31:00.001-07:00

Here's a recipe you all love.... Today we were asked to make a cake of our own, choosing from either lemon or chocolate. You never guess what I chose.... Chocolate. If I wanted, I could've had lemon, but I decided not to have that. And just after I've been to the loo and resolved my constipation pain, I've munched the lot of it (and I know I'm meant to wait a while). If you want to make the fantastic sandwich cake yourself, follow up this recipe:

You will need:
Scales (make sure they're on 0)
2oz butter (or margerine, whatever you prefer to call it)
2oz brown caster sugar
2oz flour
a bowl (I know I may be thick for including the bowl in the you need list but just incase you forget)
Wooden spoon, silver teaspoon, fork
Egg
cake tin
coca powder
Milk
and if required.... Help!

Method
1. start by greasing the cake tin with a hand towel and some butter

2. Put your bowl on the scales (with nothing in) and start putting in your 2oz of butter

3. Follow up with your 2oz caster sugar and flour

4. Mix it well (and watch for lumps)

5. Put in a small ounce full of coca powder into your bowl, mix in again.

6. Add your egg and mix in again with wooden spoon (you will see it turn chocolatey)

7. Keep mixing, make sure there are no lumps, butter, flour or sugar that can be seen

8. Add in your milk and mix again. You are now left with chocolate goo.

9. After mixing, you are ready to put the ingredients into your cake tin

10. Flatten it all down. If lumps are seen, then never mind. It's too late, the damage is done.

11. Put it in the oven for 20-40 minutes (gas mark 6) and leave to cook

12. Take out of the oven and remove the cake from your cake tin. It will be a round circle to start with. If there is greaseproof paper on the bottom, remove the greaseproof paper.

13. Leave on the cooling tray for 15 minutes.

14. Start making the chocolate icing

15. Once chocolate icing is made, (or while you're making it), get a knife and cut in half.

16. Put the chocolate icing on your chosen half of the cake.

17. Put your other half (the half without icing) on the top

18. Cut it in 6 or 4 pieces (enough for 6-4 people)

19. Put in a bag, fridge, or just leave on the cooling tray until ready to eat.

20. Eat or share.... It's up to you, but you have one delicious chocolate cake!

May I point out the worst bit is washing everything up!

Phil sports the biggest gadget ever!

2010-05-04T10:13:00.001-07:00

Had it not been for a mate who told Phillip Schofield he could buy and deliver him the world's biggest gigantic Apple ipad, he probably wouldn't have gotten it. But, despite the shape of his birthday cake on the first of last month made by Janet Tunstill, he thought he may as well be seen with a one BIGGER than that, just come out, you can tell Phil is less than impressed at the gadget, as it makes twittering on it hard for him. As he said on his review on his official site, he thinks the apple ipad doesn't have an important place in his life!

Was on holiday, came back.....

2010-05-04T09:03:00.000-07:00

And found 15 e-mails. Some of them obvious, like more twitter followers to follow back and idiots to ban from the Phil fan community, but at the same time, the other response I was waiting for from Bebo came. It said: before you join or sign in, delete the cookies off your computer first. Thinking Bebo might be helping a bit on that scale, I deleted the cookies by pressing the little logo on the top left-hand corner of the address bar. Then I tried signing in. Trouble is, wouldn't let me. So even though the cookies may of been coming back, I signed in again. I clicked to my profile, I pressed when it said 'click to edit'. And I couldn't believe it..... It was back to normal! So the first and probably last company who has applied with useful detail has been Bebo! I'm so happy I can update normally again

Computer spirals out of control....

2010-05-02T03:48:00.000-07:00

Something rather unusual, yesterday, had happened with my computer (I did mention Firefox kept on crashing). But I contacted Bebo back about the status update saying the problem was still persisting. I am awaiting a response back. Thinking it was going to work with the other browser, I launched Internet Explorer, typed in the address and tried from there. It still didn't work, so I closed the whole browser and went back to Firefox. Only as I did so 20 odd windows unexpectedly popped up of Internet Explorer and the whole thing went out of control! What's worse, they wouldn't let me close them... At the finish, I had to shut down, start it back up again, right as rain. The only point is, I will have to use add or remove programmes in control panel to unstall Microsoft Internet Explorer, because if it's making the whole computer spiral out of control, it's not worth being on as a spare browser!

Spam comes flooding in (again)

2010-05-01T03:57:00.001-07:00

Since March this year, my Yahoo account has been re-opened because I was requested by Charlotte Hendy (@charliehendy) to join one of her Hollyoaks fan groups on Piczo. Well for that, you needed a yahoo e-mail address, so no sooner had I terminated it and I had to re-open it again. Now I'm receiving over 5 e-mails each week, including unearthed activity newsletters from blip.fm. I might have to cancel my account with them and rejoin. But no sooner have I re-opened my account, and everything in spam I got before: Business proposals, business transactions, mystery money and more business proposals with titles like Dear Friend and Hello have started to come flooding in again as fast as you can say 'Here's Jonny!'. But I can't terminate the account because of one of Charlotte's groups I've joined, so what I will have to do is find a way to turn spam-guard off. Heaven knows how I'll do that!

Bebo problem

2010-05-01T03:08:00.000-07:00

Now if it weren't for twitter, ITV, Yahoo and T-mobile, I've now discovered that the 3rd social network I've joined, Bebo, will not let me update my status. I haven't a clue what's causing it, and it's only happened today. Now I did say I'm going to stop complaining because companies deliver nothing but rubbish, but hopefully with Bebo, I'll get somewhere about the status update. The ones I've contacted so far: Yahoo about the spam, ITV about the adverts and twitter about the follower count and the users blocking me business, haven't done any help. Plus that think back to when I phoned T-Mobile last June. The customer services lass on the other end wanted nothing but a conversation with me, so that did no help either. Those 4 companies can shove it up the backsides - but if Bebo reply with some help, it'll make my day!

Katy Cavanagh dances off!

2010-05-01T00:10:00.001-07:00

Well girls week proved a disastrious skate-off (and result) as only 8 remained in the contest and as Jennie McAlpine, Nadine Coyle, Gemma Bissix, Katy Cavanagh, Tana Flowers, Melanie Sykes, Faye Sawyer and Jully Black nervously but surely took to the ice with their partners, the skate-off result didn't prove obvious. Jennie, Gemma, Tana, Melanie and Jully were told to sit down - which told you for a start which girls were going to survive. The result came though, eventually. Who should end up the last person safe but Brandon Flowers's secret heartthrob and co-host, Jully. So it ended up Katy and Nadine were left skating for survival. Come decision time, the result was made clear who went: all 5 judges saved Nadine, thanks to a groovy performance, while Katy skates back to the cobbles!

Roy brings a hippo along!

2010-04-30T09:33:00.001-07:00

There has been times Roy Stride of Scouting For Girls has gone to extreme lengths to impress the crowd at live shows - one of them is bringing a dummy on stage in the shape of a toy hippo - belonging to his child he has with wife Michaela Strachan. By doing this we as well as you may think doing live shows has gone to Roy's head a bit - and if Michaela Strachan saw such a thing she'd be indeed embarrassed! Just don't let the crowd call you a baby whatever you do, Roy...

Roy gets himself drunk while at T4 on the beach!

2010-04-30T09:14:00.000-07:00

Some year ago, regrettably, Roy Stride and his band Scouting For Girls were invited along with many other top acts to perform at Channel 4's T4 On The Beach when they first started out. Little did anybody realise, but Roy was proper drunk and humiliated by the time he got on to the stage - because he sneakily bought a glass bottle of Carlsburg lager with him! We're surprised that as a wonder drunken Roy wasn't asked to leave the stage by the T4 team after looking as drunk and humiliated as he was!

In trouble (again!)

2010-04-29T09:43:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd share the news with you all. You won't be surprised that yet again I've been pulled up 2 times at the college this week, in trouble over complaints. First time by John Rooks, second with Helen Middlemas. I'm not worthy on this earth anymore. If I can't joke or do things for fun without upsetting people, then what can I do? Tuesday, Chantelle Robinson (my student rep) complained that I was chasing her and Jessica about, what did it result in? John Rooks dragging me out the kitchen to have a word and to say I should stop doing it because people don't find it funny. Today, Kimberely Topping had spilt her coke, and I joked that she'd smelt of wee - I was joking and carrying on, though she took it for granted and both her and me got taken outside to have a serious 'nip it in the bud' session. I appologised, she said it was OK, but god help when John Rooks gets to hear there's been trouble again... Thing is, you may agree with me, I'm going to have to start being careful what I do and what I say. Even if it's joking on, otherwise I might end up going down the route to disciplinary!

Bodybuilding fun!

2010-04-29T09:24:00.000-07:00

Another something from Holly & Phil makes you wish you had a camcorder at the ready again. Phil Schofield has been out of his head again with the slightly hot weather, and today he and Holly had a guest booked in on the show that had started exercising at the age of 30. She was called a 'supernanny' we think, (mind you her real name was Sharon Madderson). Especially for that, today's This Morning saw our favourite trio don skimpy swimsuits each. Combined with black trunks and pink bikini. But the woman having Holly & Phil lifting dumbbells and testing their muscles proved far more less than just a bit of fun! Sadly we'd missed it. Hope someone's uploaded highlights on YouTube!

Should be branded a complainer!

2010-04-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

Yes, the post name says it all. Maybe if I got a job as a complainee somewhere I'd earn quite a lot of money e-mailing or phoning companies like T-Mobile, Twitter, ITV & Yahoo.... Unfortunately jobs like that don't exsist. Recently I've been showing every member of staff in the college apart from John Rooks & Helen Middlemas the complaint I'd written to ITV. Both what I'd written to them as well as what they'd written back to me. Some have turned round and said, ''well you know ITV are paid to run commercials for their programmes'', while others like Jean Black (the numeracy lecturer) has turned round and said, ''I agree with you''. I mainly printed it out in Helen's lesson last week to show literacy lecturer Danielle Jackson - she agreed that I got a good reply back. I should print all the complaint e-mails and responses out to show everyone who I've been complaining to all day along - except half of them are lost. But I know what some people are thinking - I complain so much I should be branded a complainer!

Holly & Phil are caught out!

2010-04-28T08:39:00.000-07:00

Inviting This Morning viewers to share antics on the daytime programme with the presence of their webcams is something Holly Willoughby & Phillip Schofield are paying the price for! Especially after one viewer was aired catching Holly & Phil being up to mischief during a cookery segment on their webcam - which tells you they'd been doing something they shouldn't! When Holly got a teatowel, came back, Phil showed her what went on with a priceless reaction, the reaction Holly gave alongside Phil was just something you wished you'd caught to put onto You've Been Framed!

War of the social networks

2010-04-28T07:55:00.000-07:00

I lead a very very sad social life... The only place I have it is on the internet. You may remember me saying I would NEVER join Facebook even if my life depended on it. Well that accusation was false, because something struck me to try it out, and so yesterday, I signed up to Facebook, my 4th and last social network I will be joining, but this time it's a very different story....

I've had to make myself on Facebook private due to the mockery of collegues from the college that are on there - remember Kerry Barker going through all facebook accounts that morning? I do. Incase someone finds out, all the posts I create, all my contact information and etc I've had to put 'only me'. So I'm comfortable on Facebook and nobody should send me invites, friend requests, nothing! Especially if it's a college collegue - because I don't want to hear from them! I'm already frightened to death I get a friend request off one of them....

Before that, I didn't have the feeling to join Facebook at all, but I'm going to try it out and this is a promise, if I don't like being on it, I'll find a way to delete my account.

On June last year, I remember signing up to the very first social site: Twitter. I now have 303 followers, but twitter didn't appear to be enough, so what did I go and do, sign up to the place where friends occurr - MySpace - which, today, has been a miracle I haven't getting about 12 friend requests since today has been my last log in (don't speak too soon).

After creating my @getmrfonline twitter page, I have signed up and got my very own profile on the 3rd social network, bebo. Filled in the information, sent a friend request to another twitterer, @charliehendy, who sadly won't be on Bebo anymore but has accepted my request anyway. I've been beboing for 2 weeks so far.

Now, something had stricken a cord to get me onto Facebook - don't know what it was, but at least I've found a way to put my privacy settings to 'only me' to restrict myself from being found by collegues. I've only updated once, currently thinking whether to leave or not.

So that is the story of war of the social networks so far. From twitter to myspace, from myspace to Bebo, from Bebo to Facebook... Which one do you think I suit myself on best?

Another yummy recipe

2010-04-27T12:23:00.000-07:00

Yet another idea (and I know I've done this before) was to make flapjacks, whether plain or containing chocolate chips. Mind you, the recipe was on the BBC website, the way I did it was quite different. Here's the recipe:

You will need:
Scales
100gr butter (melted)
50gr sugar (caster sugar)
50ml clear lemon honey (or whichever flavour honey you have stored in your cupboard)
200gr and 7oz Porridge oats
Handful of chocolate chips (depending if you want them in)

Method:
*Heat the butter for 30 seconds in the microwave
*Preheat the oven to 200*c, 400*f, gas mark 6.
*Weigh out 200gr 7oz dry porridge oats in your bowl over the top of the melted butter.
*Follow with your 50ml of Honey and 50gr caster sugar (brown sugar would be preferable)
*Drop in a handful of chocolate chips (if you don't want the chocolate chips in, just mix the plain recipe the plain way)
*Mix it together.
*Spoon it into a silver tin and flatten it down
*Put it on to the baking tray
*Leave to cook in the oven for 10-30 minutes
*When cool, put it in the bag and leave it for later
*Whenever it suits you, eat it!

*REMEMBER: If you don't want any chocolate chips in, just mix it in as you would a plain fairy cake mixture*

Alan Ross dances off!

2010-04-24T03:06:00.001-07:00

Well, week 3 was yet another week of marvellous performances, whether good, bad or ugly from the 18 remaining couples left in the contest - one that did scupper the night up for everyone, however, was Torvill & Dean Dancing on Ice's very own Bobby Davro, who's performances earned him low marks from week 1. Yes, Magic 1170 fella Alan Ross has been kicked out this week, as after a 1.5 for his performance to Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, he eventually landed in the bottom two with Melanie Sykes - of course, because Melanie had a romantic performance throughout, all five judges chose to keep Melanie in - while Alan 'Bobby Davro' Ross has well and truly became the 3rd star to dance out!

Vernon tries to save his marriage

2010-04-18T08:16:00.001-07:00

His mate Phillip Schofield has dumped his wife Stephanie Lowe for Holly Willoughby, but Vernon Kay is determined not to let the same happen to him, as he's trying his very best to save his marriage to wife Tess - after news of his ''sex texting'' had broke out, devastating her. There has been reports he might lose the role as host for new gameshow The Whole 19 Yards too, though ITV have consistently took him on. We think he needs to learn a lesson from mate Phillip...

More idiots join the Phil fan community

2010-04-18T05:57:00.000-07:00

I thought a moderated maintenance check had solved all that, because since the maintenance check the Phillip Schofield fan community has been undergoing, there has been nobody joined with inappropriate names and content since. But another maintenance check the site has gone through yesterday hasn't hardly clarified that! And it hasn't stopped some inappropriate idiots signing up to the site with stuff about Tramadol this time. It gets worse, and if it carries on, and I keep finding e-mails about more idiotic people signing up to the Phil fan community, whether about Tramadol or Viagra, then they won't only be banned from the site, but I'll also be contacting ning.com, the company I made the fan community with!

Greg dances off!

2010-04-17T03:19:00.001-07:00

The T&D Dancing on Ice last night saw the 19 remaining stars and their partners tackle a second week required element - and as ever, one hadn't done enough to stay in the contest - former Scouting For Girls bassist Greg Churchouse had angered the coaches and assistants after insisting to change his music - swapping his own band's I Need A Holiday song for Boyzone's Gave It All Away. And at the end of the night, it saw Greg in a bit of trouble on a 10.5, and not for mastering the required element properly, but the judges were also nudging their backs against him for changing his music! Therefore it's resulted in Greg being the next one to dance out the show!

LG's charger at the post office!

2010-04-14T11:28:00.000-07:00

When I had convinced myself that hadn't come for some time yet, the LG charger was anything but early, and now, with the phone completely dead, I can see myself no longer being able to record myself pretending to be Phil & Holly until the charger's been collected. When I thought it had never been delivered! No, it actually has, but instead of the postman putting it through the post box, he's took it back to the post office and to make matters worse, the card has gone missing to arrange collection! Looks like the LG phone will have to do without a charger longer than I'd bargined for!

Roy's became a dad!

2010-04-14T11:17:00.000-07:00

Scouting For Girls frontman Roy Stride was in for a shock and a half today when his wife Michaela Strachan, didn't even get up out of bed, entered labour! And with her 'ooohs' and 'ahhs', it was definitely clear something had cropped up, and at that time Roy had just stepped foot out of the shower when his mind went into overdrive. Before he could ask what was wrong, Michaela shouted: "Roy, I'm in labour!" "Baby's coming now!" Roy, like a shot, grabbed his mobile and phoned his bassist, Greg, who at the time was on the way to the Torvill & Dean training rink, currently practicing for the next live show. But Greg had to later re-think that when he had Roy shouting down the phone, "Michaela's in labour! Take us to hospital please?!" In a mad dash, Greg dashed from the training rink to Roy's house, helped Roy get wife Michaela to her feet, and in the end she got to the hospital, all in one piece, and at quarter past two, Roy became a dad as Michaela gave birth to a baby boy, weighing in at 3lb 7oz. Congratulations, Roy!

Has Griff shaved?

2010-04-13T03:59:00.001-07:00

Hang your head in shame, Griff! When we spotted Mr Rhys Jones on the sofa of This Morning with Phillip & Holly to chat, we had noticed he looks more different than he has in this picture - Infact, he looks as bald as a coot, and Phillip chirped that it suits him. Like hell it does! This is how he looked like before, to which we think suits him far better than how he is now as bald as a coot. We need an answer - has he shaved all his hair off?

E-mail back from twitter

2010-04-12T11:29:00.000-07:00

Waiting for the e-mail has been worth it, as while I was uploading pics to the Phil fan community, twitter got back to me just as I was in the middle of working. I could tell there was 1 e-mail in my Gmail inbox, but just thought it was another twitter follower or myspace friend request. No, it was twitter. I contacted the support and as I said in the previous post, I was going to review the e-mail to see if any help on the case has been done. I've opened the message to find the adviser had written: Hi, twitter does not endorse this feature but there plenty of third party applications that might be able to help you. Make sure you do your research on a third party application to suit you (don't break our rules) before signing up to it. Sorry. I was livid. I was asking for help on ''blockers'' and ''unfollowers'', not an explanation about third party applications and a response saying twitter doesn't endorse the feature! If T-Mobile, Yahoo & ITV wasn't enough, twitter is saying almost the exact same thing, only to tell me they don't endorse such a feature! So like Yahoo, ITV & T-mobile, twitter can shove it up their backsides aswell! I thought as much. That's the last company I'll get in touch with!

Another twitter page

2010-04-11T02:21:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know - we at @Ice_Fanatic have set up another twitter page, this time to try and get Brandon Flowers of The Killers on twitter individually. Of course, getbrandononline was a screen name too long, it made it sound like 'getbrandononlin'. So we shorted it a bit and the page is created. 'getmrfonline' is our mission to get The Killers frontman on twitter, because all them accounts that claim to be him actually aren't. They are fake. So if you think Brandon should get his backside on twitter, then follow us
