Last night I dreamt that I was in GC and saw Roger Federer, does that count?

I believe you'll be struggling to find ANY record now that has no auto tune (even with the best singers). At least when I've seen him sing live (on youtube or TV, not in real life) he seems to have a nice natural voice unless they can auto tune live performances as well.

Doesn't change my opinion of him though.

Spotted courtesy of the Daily Mail! Our new Prince + mother, both in First. Interesting that the media were there waiting down route in time to take the pic, wonder if they have permission or was a tip off.

More likely they were told to be there by the Royal Family. They're desperately trying to build up Prince William and Kate's profile as the Queen isn't getting any younger and noone cares about any of the others.

According to Daily Mail, the 777 landed in St Vincent...usual rubbish. Although I can't actually recall any Daily Mail article about BA that has got its facts right!

I'm talking more about the over use of it rather than the use of it. Like photoshop or their like in photography, there is a use for the tool, but when it's the first thing yu notice, it's too much.

Autotune can indeed be made to work with live vocals.

The flight is 8500 miles too apparently - that's impressive going to arrive in only 9 hours. Average speed of 1500km/h!

Pierce Brosnan was in the row behind me from LHR-TXL on BA982 on Saturday, jetting in for a film premiere at Berlinale. He was in 5F and I think he was travelling with his mum. He remembered his sunglasses, put on a very smart hat after landing and doled out an autograph. All in all a very polite chap...but then again he was travelling with his mum (probably).

That may be his wife. We sat at the next table at a small restaurant in Chelsea a few years back. She's not whom you would picture him with.

I would have thought flying BRITISH airways would be against his religion (or some such)
