He looks fine now... :unsure: He has a nice voice.

The young disabled Iranian guy, the cancer lady, the broken neck and jail dude, the girls whose dad died when she was 15, the transgender guy. I don't think it's the contestants that play it up, it's the producers of the show, they try and generate voter sympathy for their favourites. They did it with that d*ckhead Ayltian last year and he won. I'd prefer if they gave limited coverage to their personal lives and let them win the public over with their talent and personality (which a lot of them with sad stories would do anyway because they're often the most down to earth and likeable).

A friend of mine is donating some of her blog space for R U OK? this week. It allows people to share their stories if they feel like it.

Have a look here

I am sort of OK today. Glad to know you are OK TP. :)

MP, definitely have a look at the above blog as my friend suffers from adrenal fatigue and talks about it very well. Hope the outlook brightens soon :wub:

I have adrenal fatigue, it's a bitch.

Re: R U OK?
 

I just watched it online and what's going on with Gavin Larkin...had me tearing up at the thought of him having fought so long and hard but now that's it and leaving his family behind, especially the one who is still battling a brain tumor. So, puts all the minor stuff into perspective, doesn't it? I mean, no matter the minor annoyances in life, none of us would want to leave our kids sooner than we ever anticipated.

NO!

I want to go postal on these dumb f**kers who can't specify the correct circuit breakers for class C discrimination.

Tossers.

Hmmm I think maybe you had a total 'whoosh over the top of your head' moment there. ;):lol:

Re: R U OK?
 

The Iranian guy got through because he could sing... until he got knocked out. I don't think they've put anyone through for sympathy but you're right, the camera work and editing really plays on it. I'm glad I didn't see it last year. :lol: Don't know Ayltian but his name puts me off... :unsure:
Some of the kids this year seem really talented... two of the groups are amazing. :)

No, deliberate obtuseness;).

Re: R U OK?
 

Both me and Tiddler thought I was hysterically funny. :unsure::lol:

Re: R U OK?
 

Well I'm glad it's brightened your mood. :teeth_smile:

Re: R U OK?
 

No. but thanks for asking.

Re: R U OK?
 

No? What's wrong Caroline?

Re: R U OK?
 

Short fuse?

Re: R U OK?
 

Yup! I knew there'd be one! :rofl::thumbup:

But at the same time I'm pleasantly surprised cos its usually my flippin husband that says that kind of stuff to gross out the kids, he claims its a kind of armchair sport :D

I'm feeling more optimistic TP, thanks for asking :)
