The things I do for the Radio Show!! I have spent 3 hours with Kev the Music. 3 hours of trawling through Eurovision failures to find some gems to bring you on May 12th, god there has been some crap! But we have found some really awful songs so bad they are good! Colonel Bertie is going to a do Eurovision Be Bop Bonanza made up of some of the best and worst of Eurovision.

I am thinking of jacking in the Saturday Show at the end of May the traveling is, frankly getting a bit much, if I go by train its a 4 hour round trip and it means my whole Saturday is focusing on my show, and leaves me with no time for my own social life which at the moment is non existent!
Good news GRFM is dead and long live Fleet FM! There will be a new radio station launched soon in the Gravesend area, keep an eye out for more info soon!

Well we are back from Manchester, out of the bottom three for the first time since September, we had a dodgy first 10 minutes but settled down but in the second half we were the best team.
If you have the joy of visiting Man City I would recommend taking your own food, the stadium food was shocking, the staff rude and there was bugger all in terms of choice, took great delight in being called a southern twat by some poor misguided Mancunian chav...
Here's to 3 points against Reading on Monday night....come on you reds!!

I have just watched Cetin Alp from 1983, it explains what John Travolta got up to in the early 80's.
We are off to Manchester now so there will be no posts today. just 3 points for Charlton.
Yours in expectation

Right we have a new clip on the bottom right. well actually its vintage 1983, Cetin Alp and the Shortwaves, represented Turkey with a lovely ditty called Opera, sounds good so far until you learn the poor Cetin scored nil points! as did the Spanish, now the Spanish tune was just plain bad, and there was no excuse, on the other hand Cetin's offering was stunningly bad, so bad it has become a classic in our eyes, have a look at the video, Terry Wogan gives a brief hint of what is looming with a translation of the lyrics, it builds up to an awesome chorus, give it a whirl...go on you know you want to. I am off up to Manchester to watch the mighty reds in action against Man City, so there will be no preview of the show, as we have bugger all planned except good tunes and footie news, oh and we have a media student being let loose amongst us, Isaac is his name and he sounds like he knows his stuff, best be on our guard then....
Yours in full tenor

The 1985 European Spread Your Lurve Tour

Just to prove I was once fit and active, I am the handsome devil in the middle!! This particular shot was taken in Istanbul, and must be in the morning, two things lead me to suspect this a) we look very sober b) the lack of female company..... The other two in the photo are on the left Signalman T Hotston, Royal Corps of Signals and Nigel "showwaddy" Waddy, quiet but deadly with the ladies!
Yours in youthful vigour

Well have a look at the video of Verka Serduchka! its on the bottom right. Man alive there is very little I can say about it, just watch and be amazed, now the worrying thing is thats its an Former Eastern Bloc entry and that lot are very quickly building up a reputation for keeping the twelve points to themselves, its utter drivel, but due to the voting patterns be afraid!!
Coming soon we will publish the full Eurovision Drinking Game, trust me when I say if you follow the rules you will end up utterly wasted clutching a bottle of Bombay Sapphire muttering about god knows what and be left with the most horrendous hangover of your life.
Yours in disbelief

As you can see we have Scooch on the in the box, click on and watch them in action, coming soon will be some classic Eurovision, the good the bad and the plain hilarious! And further down on the right is Ark - The Worrying Kind, from Sweden, this is my early favourite.

I have just been looking at Israels entry, Push the button by Teacakes, which is a protest song, and frankly its rubbish and does not have a prayer!!! Luckily they are in the Semi Final and should not get anywhere near the Final on May 12th, although saying that with Eurovision you never know!!

Going away from Eurovision, I have been asked to post some pictures from my 1985 Tour of Europe which featured myself, Nigel, Trevs and Gordon (who escaped to New Zealand) the tour has now been christened the Spread Your Luuuurrrrve tour, lucky we have photos as the majority of it is a blur, including names and dates!! I will consider scanning, but bearing in mind I was young and extremely fit, it may be difficult as I fear that too many ladies will swoon when seeing me in my youth.
Yours in reflection
