Only joking @Mi-Amigo
Yer right @jonsie , I don`t do tech so I`m gonna use that State of the F A R T guy off Britain`s Got Talent instead of a klaxon
Oh please don't. I have no idea how that guy got through to the semi finals....
As for the things @pgn posted, dont bother with those either. The African countries used them at every match they played in during a World Cup series and they were bloody horrendous

I agree @jonsie . As lovely as the Chelsea Pensioner was , people voted with their hearts. I think the young lads in the band and the older guy who did magic and comedy deserved a place. I wasn't even impressed with the comedian who got through on the judges vote. He didn't make me laugh at all.

Totally agree @jonsie and @Cleoriff
The one thing which I find annoying with BGT is the sympathy votes by the public and judges. I mean we have had, in the past, that dreadful magician who came on in his miltary uniform; and this year we have the copper and his "mindreading" dog. Sure, the magician served his country; and the dog saved the police officer`s life and both should be recognised - but this is not a "hero" worship programme but about talent. And I didn`t find the comedian amusing at all.
Having said that we have had some very good acts and I do enjoy the show because it is variety.
My fav? The four young magicians - brilliant.

The trouble with the programme @Mi-Amigo is each night the level of the acts should be the same.
For instance I didn't enjoy Tuesday much at all. The level of nearly every act was poor. (apart from the 4 young magicians.)
I thinks that's the reason the woman who is trying to be Victoria Wood and failing badly imo, got through.
