Hello from Spain!

Afternoon all!

I post to you from shitty Benidorm, where after having driven three hours up the spanish coast, we decided it would be a good idea to stop over for the night...wrong f**king decision....If ever you could say a place has more turds in it than a f**king toilet then this would be the place....not only that it is teeming it down with rain!!!!

Therefore having go the opportunity to post to you I thought I´d take the chance...

The stage for eurovision is looking rather good, and more like an MTV awards show every year. It seems like the background will be entirely LCD, which will (IMO) move the show a step further, which is always a good thing!!! I think since the introduction of LCD in 2003 it has really helped move the contest into the 21st century, which is probably why the whole of europe loves it...wake up UK!!!!

Lebanon have gone for Bulgaria to win eurovision...isnt it great that even the OGAE teams come up with some wild and wonderful results...More worrying though is that UK is 19th....these OGAE results all look very bad for the UK...lets hope its alright on the night as Dennis Nordan used to say!

Russia have gone for Greece, while the Dutch say Serbia. I do think this year it could be so so so open, with maybe a repeat of 2003?

Gunther and the sunshine girls...yes remember him??? are actively promoting a show they are doing in LA...but check this out...its may 12th....can´t see many people in the eurovision community travelling for this one!?!?!? If you are mad and want to follow the twitching lip, leather wearing one check out http://www.ticketweb.com

Finally, straighteurovision will back to normal come Monday so I look forward to posting properly from comfortable surroundings, and not a flee-bitten, rancid, internet cafe...

Love to you all!
