Bucks Fizz

I went to see Grant Management at their Newcastle office, explained everything and the following conversation followed:
'It's been going on for a month?!'
'Yes'
'You've sent us letters and nobody has contacted you?'
'Yep'
'This should not have happened'
'D'uh'
So somebody will call me "today". There's still 1h 15min of office time left but I'm doubtful. "Today" and "tomorrow" are meaningless terms for them.

So as always, I was so over the whole GM thing that I decided to comfort myself with a bit of comfort food. I've got a nice lemon tarte for the Eurovision semi-finals tonight and even bought some salmon, to remind me of a promised land called Finland. ;)

I just checked the BBC website for Eurovision news and the woman announcing the UK votes seems like a proper idiot. She said that with so many Eastern countries in the competition, there's no way the UK will win. But I mean how can they expect to win when the songs they send are crap?? I mean this year with Andy isn't as bad as last year with Flying the flag thing or the previous year with Daz Sampson but still, it will hardly stand out? It's such a stupid thing to say. When you don't send good songs, you don't get good results. Eastern countries care about the Eurovision, it's a big thing for them and so the songs they send are actually by popular artists. I'm sure if Sugababes or Leona Lewis would enter they would win. I'm so frustrated by this whole argument. Finland won, we're hardly Eastern? Or even if we are, we've been entering the competition since 1961 and won for the first time in 2006. It was hardly because of our neighbours who've been participating for a long time as well (excluding the obvious). To win it you just need a good song that the eurovision people will like.

But in preparation for the big final night I bought some alcoholic goodies, including pink sparkling wine. I even saw a bottle of Bucks Fizz which made me smile and I would've bought it but Jenny's allergic to citrus fruits. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you're not a true Eurovision fan.
