The X-Factor is a pile of steaming ****ing bullshit. It's the kind of dumbed-down-tv-for-dipshits programming that has made modern television unwatchable. Now **** off.
Some of it is but if you like spotting up and coming talent there just might be one here. PS OK most of it is.
It is the worst thing on TV. I honestly think you have to be one step away from vegetative to sit through it. I wouldn't be able to watch it without a few grams of something to take the edge off (see Casualty thread). And the upcoming talent I like to spot on Saturday nights has nothing to do with ability to 'sing' 'popular' music.
Same pronunciation, just a different spelling. I've known a couple of blokes with their name spent like that, and it's certainly not been pronounced as "Louie". The only people who would say it like that are the French or people with French influence eg front New Orleans.
does it really matter? all my friends who are called "louis" pronounce it "louie" but honestly cant say im too bothered by it.
We pronounce it how it is spelt in English. Do you pronounce Thomas as "Thoma"? Or Francis as "Franci"? Or Harris as "Harri"? No, you don't, unless you're French. But that's the problem with you southerners, too much poncey French influence. That's why so many of you drink wine and eat healthily, instead of drinking beer and eating ****, like real men
I've only ever seen clips of it. Would I be right in suggesting that it's people guessing what's in boxes? If so, it really just goes to show that people will watch any old ****e.
Aye - I watched it once cos some guy from my work was on it. People go on armed with 'tactics'. You're picking random boxes assigned to random people you poor dumb bastard. The show could be done it about 2 mins if Noel Tidybeard would shut up and the banker did the honourable thing and kill himself after what he and his ilk did to the country.
