"X FACTOR WAS FUN LAST WEEK"

@289098: Right and agree.

Or.....how long they could have stayed together if they'd not had such a knob'ed as a Manager back in the day!

@MiaCopenhagen, I think he means originally, if he hadn't left the band... . And can I just say...flippin hell! That's not you on that horse is it MiaCopenhagen??

Loving the Fairytale of New York requests...that would be awesome! However some other friendlies & I have been talking and we thought Rudebox Radio would be utterly IMMENSE if you could consider having some webcams in your studio while you're recording??? We would love that so much. We'd also like you to consider Nakedness, Jelly & some mops but that might be a step too far so if you'd just consider the web cams that would be AMAZEBALLS :) Love Love to you, Ayda and the pooches. I'm not saying Merry Xmas yet because you promised a Rudebox Radio before then and I'm still hopeful xxx p.s. I have a new twitter ID, It's @TeamBarlliams because I just love you & Gary! Would love some other friendlies to come join!! xx

The Pogues - original name was Pogue Mahone. Allegedly it's Gaelic for "KISS MY ARSE"!!! BRILLIANT;)

Fairytale of New York by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - always makes me sad - she was killed by a speedboat (whilst saving her son) on a diving holiday in Mexico on 18th Dec 2000. She was 41 yrs old. Her memorial bench is in Soho Square, London. Billy Bragg now always includes her extra verses when performing A New England.

Thats my fav christmas song x

Quick request for The Festive Radio Rudebox – if you could sneak a bit of ‘Fairytale of New York’ in there somewhere – that’d be the Badgers Nadgers. Sadly, most UK Radio stations have a censored version of this song due to fear of offending people. It seems “Faggot” and “Arse” is just too much for the delicate lugholes of the British listener......I’m more offended hearing “Swagger” in every frackin song thats played.....I hardly ever used to hear the word then when you turn the radio on its "Swagger" this & "Swagger" that......then you watch X Factor & Louis Walsh says you’ve got "Swagger" you're through to the next round. For Swag sake, I wish they’d swagger off back to where they swagging came from! Anyhooooooooooooo.......I hope all you friendlies have a fabby Christmas, and you all get everything you wish for. This year i’m hoping for a big fat bank account and a slim body........Santa seems to have got these wishes the wrong way round for the past few years ;) Lau x PS..... I just read in the paper about a guy who got sacked from working on the Waltzers, He's taking his boss to court for "Funfair Dismissal"......You heard it here first – Muhuauaua!!

Dear Robbie, I am anxious to know when you come to Brazil, especially for the state of Rio Grande do Sul I am your fan, I really want her to go to a show! I love you you are wonderful. Kisses!

Help Rob - It's blowing a real gale at home here tonight!! Hope all the friendlies are ok out there ... Rob we really need that Christmas RR to bring some sunshine into these gloomy December days! And did you speak to Gaz after the Xfactor final? Hope he wasn't too disappointed with the result - he shouldn't be - he did a top job xx

Btw. just thinking about the fact that there might gonna be some Friendlie-gigs, makes me so happy! I've got a lot of really good friends in here on RW.com by now, (all thanks to you babe), and I would love to go see you at a Friendlie-gig together with some of them! But I would like to come with an Idea, maybe for you to take to your management or maybe to all friendlies: I think it would be awesome if all friendlies attending to these possible Friendlie-gigs, had a T-shirt with "Rob's Friendlie - @ their name from RW.com" printed on it.... For example mine would be: "Rob's friendlie - @Michelle" Then we could all recognize each other!!! :) Would make a great merchandise if you ask me :) I'm definitely gonna have one made, if there's going to be any friendlie-gigs :D xxxx

Hi Robbie I finally got my dvd of progress and of the progress live album. It was brilliant re- living all the memories even if it wasn't filmed at wembley and you didn't come out of the wall screaming I'm fucking Robbie william like you did at wembley and that poor woman going to have pee lol. Immortalised for life and that dance off. Oh I cannot wait and how dare people say that captain barlow can't sing. It was brilliant. I cannot wait for your new album. Looking forward to it very much. Until then have a merry christmas Robert Peter Williams lol Take care Angie xx

Hey Angel, what a lovely, positive blog. Sounds like 2012 will be a super year for you - you know we'll be with you every step of the way, always have been, always will be, whichever direction your career takes. I've had the worst year of my life: the tour was a wonderful distraction, a little bubble away from the harsh realities of life. Your performances, your words, your positivity all helped me 110%. Keep up the great work, hope to see you in 2012. Much love, always, M xx ('Friend' Forever)

Hi Rob, Your burning so bright that your audience may have to look like Twats next year and wear shades indoors! I'm moving into a new field professionally next year, and had been feeling quite apprehensive. But your enthusiasm is contagious. only hope I won't be too busy to come see you when you tour - arranging days off from work is becoming harder. Merry Christmas to you, Ayda and your family, and Good Luck for the New Year! X

Wishing you Robert, Ayda, family and puppies a very Merry Christmas! Hope you have an amazing day....you have given us all a great pressie with a blog full of hope for the new year! We've had a pretty shitty year, we got through it though and thats a positive....hears to an amazing 2012 together ;-) xx

Been watching the x-factor yesterday en tonight. Till yesterday Marcus was my favourite (from the first time I saw him), but to be honest Lmix was the better one this weekend!

Word on Facebook is: It's a manufactured fix - the result. Who knows?? I love them both but word is LM will win. Good luck all of them xxx

OMG Su Pollard was my idol as a young kid, sad but true...... !!! Although more jealous of her getting a pic with you than the other way around ;-) x
