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)

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