World Premier Saturday

We have spent the evening in a studio recording our latest classic!
Its called Proud to be and addick, and hurls abuse at Crystal Palarse, which is good news in my book, its catchy little tune, and we will have the first play of the song on the show Saturday, which of course is my last show on BRFM, the song will be used to raise money for Delemelza, and John Mc and Mike Westergaard have written and produced it, Mike does this for a living, watch the credits for ITV's The Bill and you will see Mikes name alongside the theme tune, and has done loads of stuff over the years, so its no two bob operation. Simon will join Dave and I in the studio this week, we will be keeping one eye on the Cup Final and playing snippets of crap cup final songs, so join us 4-7pm this Saturday www.brfm.net.
Cheers me dears

I was looking forward to sitting at home this evening, watching some footie and doing bugger all, but it seems my vocal talents are required in a recording studio this very evening. For those of you who do not know me that well, my last venture into the studio to sing was for 3 Blokes From F Block, to record there version of Valley Floyd Road, which of course led to our legendary appearance on the pitch at the Valley for a half time performance, and our live appearance on the stage in the Valley Car Park the year we sent the Palarse down! All good fun, tonight we are recording a new Charlton song, a charity job I hear, I have never heard the song we are singing its all very new but knowing Jon Mc it will be very catchy as usual. Will get some pics and hopefully a rough mix for my last ever BRFM show this Saturday afternoon. I may also remind Jon of the idea we had a few years ago to do a spoof Eurovision Song and have a go at entering..... he he I reckon I would look good in drag!!!

Interesting Offers

Well well isnt life interesting, I have been asked if I fancy a years tax free work in United Arab Emirates? Now last night I was not sure, today, well after having a really crap morning I have contacted them and said yes I would like to be considered, the thought of 12 months sunshine has lifted my spirits no end. Trouble is I have never been near the place in my life, so I have no idea what to expect, if anyone has nay clue about the cost of living etc let me know, I have of course checked out the alcohol laws, and can drink in the privacy of my own home!!!

Well there we have it, Serbia win, thanks to the block voting, I really cannot see how a Western European Nation can win again, its a shame, but winners will be from Eastern Europe now. My two tips Sweden and Ukraine had mixed fortunes, Sweden although good did not get the votes and Ukraine came second.

The show was good, Jahn Teigen was his usual self and Nicky Stevens of Brotherhood of Man was very nice.
Off to bed now, night all.

The Voting

Well the voting is one of the highlights of the whole shambles that is Eurovision, some bored University Proffessor with too much time and a fine collection of toe nail clippings has carried out research and announced that there is no political voting.....absolute bollocks my bearded friend, since the damn thing began the voting has been political. Here we present a breakdown of where the votes go politically.

Uk and Ireland usually exchange a flurry of votes, probably they feel some sympathy for the Uk, who seem to be the Milwall of Europe, No one likes us..... The French hate us because we constantly accuse them of being yellow bellied surrender monkeys... The Germans are not keen, Two world wars and one world cup is a constant theme. Our Government is not popular across Europe so hence we get a bad press and precious few votes....so our song has to be top notch to win, so no win this year then.

Now the Viking empire is alive and well, as the voting progress's you will see the Viking influence come to the fore, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Finland and Norway like to help each other out.

Greece and Cyrpus do tend to exchange douze points and for some reason ignore Turkey.

These days you will find the Balkan and Warsaw Pact Factor looming large over the contest, the voting here makes it realistic that only former Eastern Bloc countries have any chance of winning this contest, Expect the points to be heavy amongst this lot, and this little bunch will explain why Ukraine, Belarus and Serbia are favourites for this years contest.

So Eurovision is not Political? My arse........

Ps France will never win as long as they insist on singing in French and entering the same old cack every year.

Right here we go eyes down for a long night of musical mayhem! Yes its finally here, The 2007 Eurovision Song Contest from Helsinki, I have just had a look at the odds, and Ukraine's Verka Serduchka with the song Danzing Lasha Tumbai is the 7-2 favourite, now I did say in a post a month ago that I thought Ukraine could nick it if we were not too careful!!! Now let me tell you about Verka Serduchka.... his real name is Andriy Danylko and he is one of Ukraines top comedians, In Ukraine there has been a storm of protest over the song and the fact that Andriy is dressed as a middle aged woman makes it a sight worth seeing!! Great Fun, Thing is its a poop song but just a little catchy.

Scooch are 4-1 to finish last, which will please Dave Williams, who has been forced to play the song due to a freakish amount of requests during his show....not sure how that happened. I dont think that Scooch will win, my personal favourite is Sweden's The Ark and their very 70s sounding The Worrying Kind, again its extremely catchy and the lead singer who, I suspect is a good friend of Dorothy and may even write with a green pen, has great stage presence.

The Semi Finals were held Thursday and one of the hot tips to progress Switzerland failed to qualify for the big final as did Denmark's Drama Queen! crying shame that, the mascara will be running in Copenhagen over this... Israels Teacakes failed to get through as well, not a big surprise there then!

Catch the show on www.brfm.net 4-7pm our first guest is Jahn Teigen, live from Sweden, Spoke to him about an hour ago, and the interview promises to be very interesting, this man is a bit of a character, after 5 we have Nicky Stevens from Brotherhood of Man, she is very friendly and its a good interview! After 6 we will be playing some of the finalists for 2007. There is a couple of quiz's as well, guess the country and guess the year, Bertie and I are really looking forward to the show and it promises to be different!! We finish at 7 which gives me enough time to hurry up to my Eurovision Engagement in South London , which will include a couple of costume changes!
So tune in and enjoy the show, email us any Eurovision requests during the show and we will try and dig the blighters out and play em.

Kent Earthquake Appeal

A major earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale hit Kent with its epicenter in Folkestone.

Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".

The earthquake decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage.

Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa del Sol were damaged beyond repair.

Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived. Invicta FM reported that hundreds of
residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Folkestone.

One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom
crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Trisha the next morning."

Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.

The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:

Fila or Burberry baseball caps
Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
Shell suits (female)
White sport socks
Rockport boots
Any other items usually sold in Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.

Required foodstuffs include:

Microwave meals, Tins of baked beans, Ice cream, Cans of White Lightning or Special Brew. 22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms.

£2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.
£5 buys B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

**Breaking news**

Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in raspberry alco-pop. 'Where are you bleeding from?' they asked," CHERITON " said the girl, "woss
that gotta do wiv you?
