A beautiful afternoon to you all!
Im please to see Eurovision has finally got its act together. The past two years have been a farce when it comes to being able to actually enjoy the Eurovision week, if you are, like many are, a non-accredited fan. In fact, it was quite embarrasing watching some accredited fans and media representatives, waving their accreditation cards around like they had been invited to tea with the Queen. I say 'the' queen not 'a' queen! :-) It looks like the EBU have seen sense and are going to ensure EVERYONE can enjoy the week...
As I say, for those who will not be receiving official invites to Euroclub and various exclusive parties, will be able to go to the Fan Centre next to the Eurovillage. They will offer PC's, a bar(they don't mention alcohol though!), TV's with live performances, oh and wireless internet connection. Don't forget your Laptops!!! It seems there will even be evening entertainment for those who don't manage to jump the barriers into Euroclub including world class DJ's, etc.. Great news then. You can view further info at http://www.viisukuppila.fi/. The Fan Centre opens at the end of April for anyone arriving very early indeed..Look forward to seeing you all there...
As I mentioned a while back, Verka, the Ukrainian act for 2007, is considered in my opinion as a load of nonsense and frankly doen't bring anything to eurovision, except ridicule! The Ukrainians are also unhappy by their choice of act, which is surprising seeing as so many of them chose it! They have held several protests to try and get the song banned from eurovision. I soooo hope they succeed. It would probably mean Ukraine would have to pull out of eurovision this year though, plus recieve a nice fine in the process, which wouldn't be so good! Thanks to doteurovision for the Verka picture....She's a beauty isnt she!
Esctoday's bigpoll has started and has Malta to win, with Macedonia in 2nd. Cyprus, Belarus & Turkey make up the top 5. But where is the UK I hear you ask???? Hmmm not anywhere near the top 10 i'm afraid! Oh well when did fans ever predict the winner anyway? :-) Visit

As expected April Fools stories were published, which included the production of former UK participant stamps within the UK, Dragonfly, the Croatia act for this year singing in French, and most disturbingly Scooch changing the title of their song to 'flying the fag!'. What ever do they mean????? The swines!
Until tomorrow!
