The Unlikely Guitar Heroes

Just before I had finished watching last night's extended edition of "It Takes Two",
Chris gave me a ring asking me if I wanted to pop over to their's where they were having some sort of do. Despite it nearing midnight I went ahead.
All of the housemates were there as well as a few of Danielle's mates and Annabelle, Phil's significant other.

Amongst the things we chatted about were the antics that took place at the Undercroft the previous night at ended up as videos on Facebook which oddly enough I haven't seen due to it being difficult to access in halls.
We also chatted as per usual about the X Factor and all the other big shows on television that I'm obssesed with. Barry managed to bring up the subject of Christine Bleakley on SCD which lead onto the rumours of her taking over from Fiona Phillips on GMTV. Thankfully, that's not going to happen as according to The Mirror and apparently confirmed on the show itself a rather attractive woman called Emma Crosby
from Sky News has got the job.

At least that means that Kate Garraway won't be getting it who's nowhere near as patronising as Fiona but just as irritating.

Kate was one of the guests on "It Takes Two" last night along with dance partner
Anton Du Beke who were in a similar position to John Seargant last year being saved by the public week after week. The difference being was that they really were a joke and Anton came across as a pretty bad loser saying that all his dance partners such as the ever unfunny Jan Ravens in series four, and Lesley Garret (uggh) in the first series were better than some of the others who progressed further than they should have done.

And I know it's been said several times but I reckon that Anton is Bruce Forsyth's son as he's got very a very similar voice and mannerisms. Especially when the two of them did a duet on last Sunday's results show.

Moving along, some of the other things we got up to included playing a load of ridiculous games with a punchbag that the boys had recently added to their house and a few rounds of Guitar Hero III which I was pretty bad at but a few of the others including Annabelle managed to do really well. One of Danielle's mates managed to do really well on one of the harder songs "One" by Metallica which I only know of as it was number 1 in the Rock Chart on the ITV Chart Show 1989 Christmas Special. Rather significant as the band didn't really make videos prior to recording that song.

I left at around 2am, ahead of what will be my last ever lecture this morning and in time honoured tradition it was a bugger getting up. Let's hope I won't have to do this for a while at such an "antisocial" hour.
