Continuing with the boyband theme in Sunday's blog, Westlife topped the singles chart again this week. Ever wondered about how long it'll be before Mark Feehily gets married? Newsround did in 2003. But I doubt CBBC will be giving us any more news or comment about Mark's romantic life for a little while yet.

It's also time to stop all the misogyny on CBBC. I've mentioned some problems on TMi before, but what about Newsround. Luton Town's manager made some ridiculous sexist remarks about women football officials. He later apologised. But Newsround's webpage quoted the remarks and asked kids to vote on whether he was right about what he said. Of course if the remark had been made not against women, but against another group of people, Newsround wouldn't have asked the question.

Next Monday, 20 November 2006, is the start of Anti-Bullying Week. This year's theme is the bystander.
