    My Thoughts :

    X-Factor.
    Like it or loathe it, it regularly attracts a viewing audience of several million viewers so obviously satisfies a market demand. If you don’t like it….don’t watch it….there’s plenty other things to do on a Saturday night.

    Alexandra Burke
    Heard her and she can obviously sing. From what I’ve seen / heard of the programme this year, was the best contestant vocally and as such deserves her win.

    Hallelujah
    Somethings better left as is. Fantastic composition by Cohen and I always like his performances, but the raw emotion of Buckley is hard to beat.

    Live Bands / Backing tracks
    For me, live band every time and I don’t necessarily agree that it makes no difference to the performers capability. The whole atmosphere of a performance with a live band is hard to beat, and a good artist will use the energy and vibe from a well practised, tight band to take their performance to the next level.

    Edit, also I seem to remember that it is Harvards that do the bombing of the U-boat pens at the films’ dramatic end.[/QUOTE]

    Correct, watched it again a couple of weeks ago….one of the best War films / dramas ever made……in my humble opinion.

    There is this replica of Karl Jatho’s early machine at Hanover Airport, (as well as bits and pieces of a 747) which was allegedly first flown on August 18th 1903, thus, if true, pre-dating the Wright Brothers by 4 months.

    Seing that photo of 976 just reminds me I once had a beautiful Lanc within an hours drive of my house, now residing in a container thousands of miles away in bits.
    Yes, I know its been done to death on this forum before. Just wanted to share a moment of self indulgent melancholy.

    Likewise ……black armbands for a day ??? 😉
