Friday night gear change

The rest of my family insists on watching a telly programme called The X-Factory. One of last Sunday's 'guest artists' performed an excruciatingly tuneless power ballad, which screams 'truck driver's gear change' from the very off.

Yup, two-and-a-half minutes in to Alexandra Burke's "The Silence' (if only!) is a textbook ponderous drum break and they then continue the rest of the song a semi-tone higher.

If that is indicative of the sort of rubbish one normally finds on that particular programme then I am very pleased to have taken pains to avoid watching it.

It's always good to get those spare moments away.

Never watched X-Factor, not going to start now.

Painful and grating on the lug holes
