A difficult truth for would-be superstars
http://tomcharris.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 08/ 16/ a-diffi...
HAVING thoroughly enjoyed the opening episode of The X-Factor, I’m nevertheless reminded of the same reservations I’ve had during each of the previous seasons. Every week of the auditions, almost every candidate tells the cameras that he/she wants nothing more in their lives than to be famous; they want to be more famous than Mariah Carey or Madonna; they want to sell more albums than Robbie Williams. The level of self-belief is startling, particularly given the limits (of most) of their signing talent. Prince Charles got a lot of stick a few years ago because he said that young people should have more realistic ambitions.

Tom Foolery
http://snptacticalvoting.blogspot.com/2008/08/tom-foolery.ht...A rather amusing exchange on Tom Harris' latest post: Comment 7 (Chris Smith): "Average waits in the NHS increasing despite all the money, creating millions of graduates with no jobs." Comment 8 (Tom Harris MP): Come off it, Chris, son. I don’t mind publishing critical comments but let’s not just start making stuff up just to fulfill our wishful thinking, boys and girls. Comment 12 (Chris Smith): Tom, I do have proof of my claims http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7271772.stm Average wait increasing from 41 to 49 days. Makes you wonder if Tom really pays attention to what's going on in between blogging, watching X Factor and getting thoroughly gubbed in by-elections...
