Oh the excitment

Its always my favourite time of year the end of May. With the climax of the football season we have the biggy today, the champions league final between Man U and Chelsea. Cant get better than that. Not sure who i want to win, but will probably go with Man U as they play the better football, and as Sir Alex is an ex-Ayr United man you have to with him well.

The other exciting things are obviously my birthday and my birthday bank holiday (yes it is jsut for me) and the big TV extravaganza of the year, the Eurovision song contest!!! Yes it is cheasy, camp, kitsch etc etc, but its one of hte best night TV entertainment of the year. As always the British entry will be dreadfull and if it wasn't for the Irish vote, we'd be staring 'nil point' in the face. The real reason its any good is the fact we have Terry Wogan doing the comentary. He makes the whole show, with his constantly putting people down, and ripping the voting to shreds.

Although you cant really blame the other countries for that. I mean the if you look at the ex Yugoslavian countries or ex russian states, there entries are usually pretty famous in the home countries. As they all speak the same languages, its probable that the will also be pretty well known in those countires as well, and as we all know if you all ready know someone you'll probably like there song more than one you dont.

Saying that though, how can all these countries convince people who have sold millions of records already to compete, when we get stuck with some guy who wasn't good enough to win the X Factor. I mean we've had some big names in the past like Clif Richard, Sandie Shaw, Matt Monroe, Olivia Newton John, The Shadows, Brotherhood of Man, Bucks Fizz etc (im not sad, i looked it up) but you have to go back 11 years to Katrina and the Waves to get a semi big name representing us. I mean from Germany you have there own version of Girls Aloud taking part, and they wonder why we never do well
