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.

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.

Okay im not really the guy to post about news related stuff as James' Blog is not a news blog, (thats what BBC news is for!) but I have been partial to post about events such as when everyone thought the world was going to end, you know that big Hadron Collider (Which somehow my post got onto Indian Television!) But anyway the latest news recently thats breaking headlines and always on the frontpage is the Swine Flu pandemic. Yes it's now a pandemic (Im not too sure it should of been raised to one) but thats just me. The flu mainly harvested by pigs and orginating from mexico, anyone unlucky to be a tourist there at this time has a chance of contracting the flu, but I really think the media should tone down on how there going about reporting on Swine Flu.

If your up to date in the technology scene you will know that a couple of years ago Google released yet another of there 'innovative' products Google street. Examples of other innovations that they've had is Google Docs and Google Earth. The list goes on really. Google Street, which is an addition to google maps and say it's addition, as it allows someone to actually pyschically see the street of a place they search, instead of the bird's eye satellite view that products like Google Earth use. I hadn't really been aware of Google Street, because at it's release it was only being trailed on places on the USA, but since then it has expanded massively and now street views are avaliable for places in the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Like I said I wasn't really to bothered about this new google street until I found that the UK was now it's next 'victim' and just this morning I found out that I've been caught by the infamous Google car (Which was used to take pictures of the streets)

In the mornings if I have time I usually turn on the laptop and check the blog as well as check my emails, and sometimes visit the BBC News website, because you know it's good to be updated on what your waking up to. But like I said I usually login into the admin panel on James' Blog to do some checks as well reply to any comments or to finish that post I was working on last night and im always greeted with the same annoying sight everyday as soon as I've logged in...
