Big Brother, it’s that time of year again

post-thumb

Every year in the UK were 'blessed' with channel 4 bringing us a reality show known as Big Brother, im sure even if your not in the UK you would of heard about it or god forbid have your own cheap and shitty rip off of it. But anyway it's that time of year again, Big Brother will be starting very soon, I just know it, im really guessing, but it usually starts just after I come back from Scotland (I go every year) and thats end of May early June plus there are those 7 DAYS screen randomly flash on Channel 4, and thats my queue to go "Fuck you" because if you hadn't guess from the sarcasm (Which I guess is hard in text) but I absolutely despise the reality show, and would you believe it's been running for 10 years? Which I guess is quite a achievement.

Why does the UK still take part in Eurovision?

post-thumb

It's a question which I ask myself every year that the Eurovision song contest graces our screens, courtesy of the BBC. Every year it was on since I was about 8 or 9 my dad and I always watched it (Because the actual contest always falls on Saturday) and we will probably both end up watching it this year to. But we'd both admit that we watch it for a laugh, because I don't think anyone in UK takes it seriously anymore, and with good reason. Eurovision is no longer about talent, it's simply political and cheesy. Which is a shame because this year Jade Ewen is representing the United Kingdom in Eurovision and I have heard her sing, and while im not Simon Cowell or Andrew Lloyd Webber she has a very nice voice and I think she has real talent, but because Eurovision is so pathetic and the fact that every country thats in it will vote politically, we don't have a chance in hell.

Mr and Mrs Snowman say Hi!

post-thumb

On this wonderful snowy day Mr an Mrs Snowman say hello to all the James' Blog readers! The snow has stopped now but apparently more is on the way! Yeah I got bored and decided to relive the childhood I once had. Hey in the UK snow like this doesn't appear much so why the hell not. I did get some random passers by looking at me with funny looks and even got some chavs walking past throwing snowballs at me. But hey it was fun.

The UK get two snow days in one week!

post-thumb

England this week has been subjected to the most snow we've ever had in years! Every resident in the UK woke up monday morning with a blanket of snow covering everything. On Tuesday the snow combined with ice closed over 100 schools in Nottingham and caused major roads to be closed due to them being too dangerous (Some 13% gradient sloped roads) and now thinking that the snow has melted away, but it has returned today! There is 2cm - 5cm snow on the ground across parts of the UK. In Nottingham alone over 250 schools are closed, the roads are really bad and traffic is heavy.

I've woke up this morning in my christmas decorated room to find it snowing! Finally the UK gets that rare weather occurance called snow! It's much like a non-existant term in England as we never get it, but my mum literally just shouted up to me "look out the window, we've got proper snow!" God I get so excited about christmas, snow and all of it. Im glad I decorated my room christmas style last night, it now looks so awesome with real snow as the scenery in the window
