This is what you missed if you are an idiot

  • January 9, 2012

So as you no doubt noticed Nicola Roberts' solo version of Girls Aloud's legendary b‑side 'Memory Of You' was dangled in front of punters as an entice­ment to pre-order 'Yo-Yo' on iTunes.

Well the single is now out, pre-orders cannot therefore exist, and if you were not one of the 80 people to take her up on the offer this is what you've missed out on.

That's right — only a pop­cul­tural landmark to rival the invention of the Sony Walkman. You know all those New Year's res­ol­u­tions you made to be a better person in 2012? To seize oppor­tun­ity, to go for what you want? YOU FAILED.
