I like the first shot simply because it makes one wonder what it is and how it relates to the letter X.

The first time I heard the word X-factor was when I was watching a programme called"Idols".<BR/>One of the contestants was absolutely tone-deaf and his singing was pathetic. The jury told him, among other things, that he hadn't got the X-factor. Great, but he didn't know what it meant. <BR/>In two weeks I am going to see if my family in Australia have the X-factor. I think they have!! I am sure ,for me they have. I am looking forward to seeing them.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-52859393515690696072008-07-03T00:17:00.000+11:002008-07-03T00:17:00.000+11:00Great post!
