where's cliff when you need him

I thought I was the only one... I don't like his music, but I would have bought a copy of anything he released in the last month if it got him his no.1 in the sixth consecutive decade since the 1950s

So glad that the "Strictly Come X-Star, Get Me Out of Big Brother" single didn't win! Perhaps Cowell can now pull his trousers up a little farther and retire somewhere far, far away.

Why not? This facebook group got 500,000 people to download the RATM song - a song that would otherwise still be lost in the archives of the charts - it originally peaked at no23 or something back in '93. Purely by making this group, they have persuaded HALF A MILLION people to spend money downloading this song.

So why not political campaigns? Can we convince 500,000 people to write to the PM on issues that matter? Perhaps draft a letter on facebook for people to copy for the cause in question? Would cost them even less than the song campaign - cost of a stamp, envelope, ink and A4 sheet of paper. 50p.

Many people (particularly young 'uns) dont realise that they CAN make a difference to the way this country is run by speaking / writing en-mass to the people that matter. Facebook has just proven itself to be the perfect medium for this.


Also, only 5% of the number of people that watched the X factor final actually downloaded a copy of the winning song.

Yes. This must be one of the first examples of people power making a difference (however seemingly insignificant) using the power of the internet.

Check out www.avaaz.org they are trying to do the same thing except on a global scale and focusing on the big issues.

I signed an online petition 15 million strong last week. Now the politicians have to pretend to listen. If it reaches 100's of millions they will really have to take notice!

Being someone who loves a conspiracy theory........ something doesn't seem right here.......

Stranger things have happened.........

They left out a verse......

You´re a bum you´re a punk
You´re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse I pray god it´s our last.
