I dont know why but in a sudden moment of thought my mind was cast back to the sunny saturday morning of end of the road 2008 where I emerged from my tent and made my way to the garden stage where you successfully chilled me out, get my semi groove on and entertain me all at the same time. Thought i'd give you an add after this thought, its a bit late. cheers for that

That my friends, is a rather fine version of Hallelujah - congratulations on the X Factor win! So now you have a dazzling 7 month career ahead of you...
I always knew you had the looks for it anyway.

Happy Jesus' Birthday to you all! I'm not getting him a present tho, the tight git never gives me anything.
