Callum and John-Lee are looking pretty nice also.
Although if John-Lee makes it in, I won't be able to stop thinking about "Ken Lee" everytime I hear his name. |

Met Gregor in Glasgow at the audition late January. Met Jolanta in London late March. Think I recall James there too. Comme d'habitude the Top Brass chose gals with big bazonkas, metrosexuals and a collection of dullards. TG I never made the final cut!
