Now I think that the writer had a brain fart and meant to say "that winner" and mistakenly wrote "that runner up." Read it my way and see if it doesn't make a tad more sense. ![](http://storage.proboards.com/3270318/t/tY2y71b1u1cMs_WEsdoa.jpg) In other words maybe he was trying to say that he liked Cookie better than Kris, and so couldn't understand why Adam came in second. Who knows- whatever it means it's just a very poorly constructed thought.

Is it April Fools day today, and nobody told me? David Cook? Really? I am sure, that David is delighted to receive a positive mention in a Scottish newspaper, for sure. On the larger scale of possibly an April fools day come early, I am laughing my a$$ off about the #foxnewsfacts hashtag, which I fell over, while searching for Newcastle and Birmingham related Adam news, now I can't stop laughing, even though it is OT.
For those who don't follow on twitter, some genius and 'expert' this morning reported on fox news that Birmingham is a muslim city that non-muslims do not dare to go in anymore. htt ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_zF7nbEvwY#t=112
And since that time, this @foxnewsfacts twitter feed has just blown up. Here are two very funny examples:
or
Anyhow, Adam will get to play in this wonderful 'muslim' city shortly. Glad Fox News is not doing the reporting.
Back to regular news about Adam, sorry for the detour, but just having a bit too much fun.

Huh!? Did something officially change on Atop? I see a totally different site now on my iPad, and just the thread, no tweets at the bottom, no shoutbox. And there's more stuff gone. Can't properly reply, just 'quick reply'. Looks like I just got acces to a mobile site now? But I want my own Adamtopia back. Help! Edit: I can get the proper site on Safari, but would really like to get it back on Chrome too. Working well for me right now on Chrome (desktop). However, I've been having trouble with mobile version for some time. Maybe try a reboot and see what happens? Will try!! Funny thing though is that all smilies show up with their names now. I just read ' ![AdamSing](//storage.proboards.com/3270318/images/Agjh6ck4QHEcIMNXPaLx.gif) ' somewhere. I could get used to that [insert grinsmiley]

Hmmm. Perhaps the only Scot Adam couldn't hold a candle to is the fictional Jamie Frazier. ((Semi twisted inside joke to the Diana Galbadon fans on the board)
As to the foot in newsprint moment for the author of the article, perhaps a total memory lapse that would not have occurred had the journalist done a little RESEARCH?
Ah, the bane of today's journalists: accuracy and fact-checking. The article from the London paper was at least researched and attempted to use some quotes from the actual interview. How sad that the article seems a one-off.

maya...I LOVE your avi ! ! I have a twitter account that I rarely use. What is a twitter list, as above? (I know....duh!) If I have enough mind left to tweet something, would it appear on this QAL Newcastle thread (is it called a thread?) And how do I register on this list? This is why I never do anything like this. For one insane moment I almost thought about offering to audio stream, when Madamimmadam kept putting out requests - ![BigLaugh](//storage.proboards.com/3270318/images/qbrnqbsXzTklFWaXaRQQ.gif)

I just assumed that the writer got his years messed up, and thought that Cook was the winner Adam's year. But, I guess the writer could just be thinking of Cook as a rocker and Adam as not? Still, it is unrelated to the point of the article. I think the writer likes Adam and Queen for this tour, tho', right? No, he thinks Adam is David Archuleta! ![](http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/Laughing.gif)
