Wherever You Will Go by The Calling could quite easily be a Creed song.

Lychee, Lingonberry

"I've Had It" by Aimee Mann.

If I remember correctly, it was written about her wanting to be released from her record label, which was Epic Records.

If it gives you joy, then why not own a Skog? I have one and a Kramig!

I don't mind About a Girl and Thank You For The Heartbreak.

Those are about the only songs I actually enjoy from Sweet 7. 

(PS: I like to joke that the budget ran out when they filmed the Wear My Kiss video. I suppose the green screening looked okay, a bit dated by today's standards -- but it was just the three girls -- Jade, Heidi and Amelle dancing in a white room with random things chroma keyed in. Jade's hair, I don't know who thought it was a good idea to stick a coat hanger in it, I'm sure this was because someone saw the Round Round video and went "Mutya has a rather funky hairdo, so why not do the same on Jade".)

I'm one of the people that really enjoys it with chips/fries.

^{👎 I disagree}

The divide already existed before Twinks entered the house. Twinks' only crime was pointing it out.

There definitely is an "us versus them" mentality to the house. Partially the reason why I would never go on the show, as well as the constant arguments. 

I think we forgot about the Rochelle and Johanne arguments. Both didn't get along with each other. It might be a bit of a reach from me, but I'm going to say, a lot of it was because they both had strong personalities, but also a lot of it was down to Rochelle's preconceived biases.

How she reacted to being accused of racism and how she reacted to the conversation that Pauline was having about microaggressions as well, when it was just her talking about her experiences of it.

Then as well as all of that, fat shaming Millie and also fat shaming Yasmin. The latter, she did that repeatedly. I'm surprised that she didn't get a formal warning for that.

Within the first nanosecond of Twinks entering the house, Rochelle took it upon herself to call her a (and this is a word I never use) twat.

Then, Philip... my God, Philip.. 

TL;DR - Neither Rochelle nor Philip deserve to win in my opinion. Both have shown themselves to be nasty and spiteful individuals. 

Australia, Brazil, South Korea, Russia, Serbia, Greece, Laos, Madagascar, Chile, Ecuador, Egypt, Turkey, Mozambique, Malaysia, Morocco, Chad, Ivory Coast/Cote d'Ivoire, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Czechia/Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Cyprus.

That's all I've got!

They aren't biscuits, but over the course of a week, I smashed through a pack of stroopwafels.

I'm a bloody fiend when someone sticks them right in front of me.

Is that.. my god!! 

It bloody is inspired by Klaus Nomi!

The differences aren't really that massive. Also, as I've found in my language journey, you're going to be exposed to South Walian Welsh on the TV and the radio. 

That's why my Welsh is so mixed, I'll use "gyda fi" and "sai'n gwybod" instead of "gen i" and "dwi ddim yn gwybod/'wmbo."

Perhaps it wasn't helped by the fact that I also had tutors from the North and South taking the lesson. For the first part of my Sylfaen course, my tutor was from Carmarthen by way of Patagonia. So it's been a total mix. 

Don't worry if the occasional "allwedd" comes out instead of "goriad", I'm sure your half-sister would understand perfectly without any gaps.

I feel like he struggles with internalised homophobia, probably learned from his environment... I'm guessing he had been closeted for a while, and still hasn't come to terms with it?

There's still an expectation for men to be "macho" and maybe Frankie feels like he has to act that way so that people would like him. Perhaps, he could hook up with men and be interested in them sexually, but is mostly heteroromantic -- but I don't really want to jump to that conclusion as of yet. This post kind of feels a bit like you're downplaying the fact that he could actually be bisexual.

(I'm obviously a woman, so I can't really relate to an experience of a bisexual man. I, myself am bi (although I don't exactly put a label on it, because it's such a redundant thing, people are people, not t-shirts) and I have considered and am very open to having relationships with women. How I realised was that as a fifteen year old, I had a crush on one of my classmates which didn't go anywhere, but that was how I knew that I also liked women.

*PS: I think I could fall in love with anyone, as long as they're nice people and that everything is consensual on both sides and that we're adults. )

I find the way he treats and talks about women absolutely disgusting. On multiple occasions, he has made Rhianna cry and also made her apologise when it wasn't her fault. I'm not really a fan of her, but she doesn't deserve that. I also find him really controlling when it comes to how he treats her. If she so much as says "hello" to another male housemate, and there's nothing romantic about it: it's all out war.

So, for Twinks to tell Catrin to sleep on it, when she was completely correct in calling out what she saw and heard kind of rubs me a bit wrong here.

Twinks, for god's sake, this should've been your moment to tell Omar that you didn't like how he was treating Rhianna and talking to the other women in the house?

PS: I think Yaz or Rob would be my favourites to win.

Well, there's a drainage company in Wrexham, my hometown called "A-N-L Drainage".

The joke writes itself, just stick an extra "A" in it.

Bosnia and Herzegovina? Does that count?

^{I rolled B}

We sometimes get the Jehovah's Witnesses patrolling my neighbourhood. I find them a bit pushy, but I'll always respect them, even if I don't believe.

They never seem to knock on my door, because I place a sticker in the window that says "Don't knock: if you're a canvasser, part of a religious group or a door-to-door salesperson."

You would think that they would've gotten the art students from the university to contribute. Or if they wanted to and if the funds would've stretched that far, hired a graphic designer.

All of these are brilliant routes to take before vomiting it all into Chat GPT. There are glaring tells that this was made with AI. Look at the third photo, what in God's name is going on with his eye?

My first ever gig was 30 Seconds to Mars in Manchester back in 2018. I'm 23 now, so back then I would've been 14 on the verge of turning 15.

As a 14 year old, I had absolutely awful taste and I thought Jared Leto was amazing. I also really loved 30 Seconds to Mars because Kerrang would play them non stop.

(Spoiler alert: he ended up not being as awesome as I thought. He ended up having many a sexual assault accusation levelled at him dating back to the mid 2000s, so I'm glad, in a way that I didn't pay extra for a meet and greet session with him and the band).

My disappointment came when I went to see them, looking back now, I think I wouldn't have gone to see them. Jared just doesn't have it anymore, he can't sing like how he used to, but he's just too delusional to not acknowledge that fact.

This gig, I think he realised it, because he barely even sang a song all the way through. If he did try singing it all the way through, he was just shouting to the beat of the song.

Most of the songs, the audience were made to sing because he either couldn't reach the notes or couldn't be arsed. It made me wonder why I asked for tickets to see them for my birthday because he was absolutely dreadful. The rest of the band were great, the guitarist they had filling in and Shannon, the drummer but Jared really let the side down.

If literally any other girl band, such as the Saturdays would've released it as their American debut, it could've worked.

Jade has a fantastic voice, I just don't think it is suited to being in a girl band, where you're supposed to blend. Part of what made the original and 2.0 lineup work so well was that all of the members did harmonise with each other and you could also pick out who was singing what.

Mutya - lower harmonies and notes

Keisha - middle harmonies and notes

Siobhán/Heidi - high harmonies and notes

4.0, without Keisha and Mutya.. there wasn't much in the way of vocal chemistry. Leading to Jade outsinging Amelle and Heidi, making songs like "About a Girl" sound like a solo song by Jade featuring Amelle and Heidi.

The other issue was that the album really lacked the signature Sugababes sound with the mix between pop, R+B and trip hop -- they had quite a uniquely "British" sound to their music and it just didn't translate well to America. In the UK, moodier music or sometimes indie music seems to go down better because we seem to be a bit more low-key and introverted, whereas American music seems to be more upbeat and dance-adjacent? That's probably why many of our bands seem to go nowhere in America.
