Roy brings a hippo along!

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!

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!)

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!

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!

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!

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

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

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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!

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?

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

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

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

About the 5,57th giggling fit!

It's no surprise that Phillip Schofield & Holly Willoughby had yet another giggling fit on Thursday's This Morning! It must've been about the 5,57th giggling fit they've had despite the previous giggling fits Phil has had with old screen wife Fern Britton in the past year. Since Holly has replaced Fern, there have been belly laughs belly laughs belly laughs between the twosome from day one! Or at least from September 2009, where a poll has confirmed the couple have had 5,500 giggling fits since Holly took over from the hillarious Fern!

Pub entertainers?!

Is it just us, or do these 4 frontmen really look like they could be entertaining in a pub? We have Take That's Gary, strutting his stuff, U2's Bono, telling the audience to sing with him, Coldplay's Chris, holding the microphone to a member of the audience telling them to sing and The Killers's Brandon apparantly belting out, ''I've got soul but I'm not a soldier'' from his own song. If only we could see more of that when the men and the bands they're from are on tour seperately. By this picture do you really think the 4 fellas could be entertaining in a pub in a bid to practice starting out their own band?

Penny Smith gets kicked out of the T&D Dancing on Ice!

It's official! 20 skating couples had gave it their all this first night on Torvill & Dean's Dancing on Ice. And it's now in well full swing... Eventually, the result show had to start, and as couple after couple were told by Jayne or Chris to sit down, the final three were chosen, low scores of the night or not... And the final three happened to be Kian Egan, Penny Smith & Charles Worthington. While one was said to be definitely safe, two had to perform again and battle it out for a place in week 2 (next week). And the right result was found out as Westlife member Kian was the last person safe! So that left Penny & Charles in the bottom two... Come decision time, however, all five judges chose to save former This Morning stylist Charles Worthington. Which has resulted in GMTV darling Penny Smith become the first star to dance off the show!

Twitter contacted successfully!

Now Emma L (@Sundaytwist) has given me a way to which I've found out how to contact twitter, I have contacted them about the users blocking me and follower case successfully, and it is now being reviewed by a member of the twitter support team. I am now awaiting an e-mail back telling me what they intend to do on this matter, that's if they intend to do anything. It might be just a few days until I get a response back, but once the e-mail comes I'll see if any help and advice on the case has been done. If it hasn't, then like T-Mobile, ITV, & Yahoo, they can well and truly shove it up their backsides!

NINETEEN EMAILS

Nineteen is more than 9, but even still what happens behind closed doors when that internet's off? Well, I was about to find out.... I switched it back on this morning, signed into Google mail, and found 19 e-mails was waiting! More idiots to ban from the Phillip Schofield fan community who had signed up about viagra again, more followers on twitter who had followed me, and, finally, the response off ITV that I have been waiting for. Remember when I contacted them about the long ad breaks while Holly & Phil was on the TV? Well, I can't say on here what it said in full, but it was quite a long reply! I checked my other account shortly after, there was spam again: 7. Business proposals, mystery money, and... Wait for it, drugstore!

YET ANOTHER new fancy bloke!

It's gone from Stephen Tompkinson, Gary Barlow, Brandon Flowers, Christopher Dean, James the pizza hut fella, Phillip Schofield, Chili Pepper Chad Smith, Christopher Dean... Now I've my heart set on another one which so happens to be another male ipod artist! Yes, an artist that is found on the ipod. Here's a clue: he sings top ten hit Haven't Met You Yet, which entered the top spot in 2009 and has been played on the ipod 24 times. Got it? Believe it or not, it's the lovely Michael Buble, and I got his album in February after paying a visit to get my blood taken! Now I need my heart testing, seriously! Can't get any better than this fella!

Fan community gets a member!

Now do you remember I created a fan community dedicated to Phillip on ning.com? With just members signing up last month posting vulgar and inappropriate blog posts? Well, would you believe, a young woman I talk to on twitter has joined it! And yes she finds it awesome. Claire Myatt has joined the community and I did welcome her except she hasn't noticed it yet, because she hasn't added anything as far as I gather. But she must be enjoying it as a member, because she hasn't posted anything and she even replied to the discussion I left on Phil's birthday shortly after I showed it to her! She's the first and probably the only person on twitter who's joined the Phillip Schofield fan community I created!

Coughing my chest off

Half way through this week, this year is known for the time of year for bugs, and all last month I have been cough cough coughing and sniff sniff sniffing since the day has been long. There has even been one point where I've been wheezing and discovered my nose has been bleeding. It's been awful, but you're must be glad to know I'm better now... In just two months!

Phil's the birthday boy!

Sorry for this late post. We have decided to just think long and hard as to what to update the blog with lately because nothing has cropped up much in April. Just to let you know, on April 1st, Phillip Schofield had his birthday, which makes him now 48. We can imagine he's as old as he feels, as it wasn't long and last year he turned 47. Nevertheless we know it's a late post, but get wishing happy birthday for him by leaving your comment below!
