    Let's not turn this into a "England vs. Celtic Nations" war or anything like it, please. =P

    On a sidenote, Pop Idol I believe was a British concept based on Pop Stars, which was something that was done in NZ and then Australia and then the UK. New Zealand had the worst result of a band, Aussie's wasn't much better and, as anyone would expect, the UK had actual decent singers and therefore it took off like a rocket.

    Eurovision is something I have never really paid attention to. I think that the UK (or England, I don't know for sure) is sending Jordan over is kind of funny. Maybe they just wanted her out of the country for a little while.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    I'm kinda embarrassed that I know this but.....actually, Javine will be representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest. There was a competition held a while ago and Javine beat Jordan for the 'honour'.

    There is the possibility of sending these bands over there!
    but they have to WANT to do it.
    And i mean, seriously, no band is gonna want to do that because there is always the possibility they might LOSE!! Inevitably to some act dressed in tin-foil or whatever.

    The biggest downfalls of being European are;
    1. Join the Euro or be Economically ignored
    2. Being the first ones hit when Germany decides to Rock N Roll again
    3. Tight Pants=Low Sperm Count
    4. Eurovision Song Contest.
    5. Having to wait to Last for Video Game/Movie releases
    6. Having to smell the French when It's particularly windy
    7. Drunk Union Jack-Wearing English Twats on holiday
    8. No Taco Bell
    9. The Weather & If you want to go to a European Destination That's Hot, See No. 7
    10. Alan Titsmarsh & Charlie Dimmock & their European Clones


    Of course, all that is bearable because we get to witness the greatest Football the world has to offer
