Bryan, Without Things 

You know, had we been a bit more on the ball, we could have titled yesterday's piece "Fools", and then had this piece titled "Fools, again", rather than the frankly dire effort we've gone for. Anyway, this is an update on what actually happened at the Westlife press conference today. As it turned out, there was no mention of penises, though one cock did feature prominently. Yes, it was announced that Bryan Katona is leaving the band and all at once an almighty shrug of indifference shook the nation.

So, what next for Bryan. Fortunately for the non-deaf sections of the population a solo career seems unlikely, though we'd hapily put money on a duet between him and his wife Kerry "You can take the girl out of the council estate..." Katona being released for the charity market sooner rather than later. He may begin songwriting, something which is not necessarily a bad thing, depending on exactly how much involvement he had in the very ace indeed Girls Allowed from the Girls Aloud album. Though, to be honest, we reckon he came up with the title and then buggered off home to catch Today with Des and Mel. Miss Smudge reckons that he's going to buy up Leeds football club - an idea given credence by the fact that they released Seasons in the Sun, even if the Sun isn't exactly somewhere where Leeds find themselves in very often, except under headlines featuring words such as "Bankruptcy", "Racism" and "Lost". We, on the other hand, think that he's far more likely to open up a nationwide chain of pie shops, called Bryan McFatten's. After all, he does have a lot of expertise in that area.
