Eurovision

Tonight is Eurovision!

I've been waiting for this for ages now and I'll be super happy if United Kingdom or Ireland win!

I wonder who will be playing the "Eurovision drinking game". Whenever you hear "Royaume Uni, nil point", down a shot of the nearest alcoholic drink you can find... Brilliant!

Who are you rooting for?

Quote of the day.

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” - Martin Luther King, Jr

Osama Bin Laden is dead?

Wow.

That's something pretty huge to wake up to...

I'm watching the footage on Sky News and to be honest, I'm rather unsure what to think?

Yes, it's great that they finally found him and I suppose justice has been served, if you want to look at it that way... The parents, children, lovers and friends of those who died in the 9/11 terrorist attack will now have closure and it's probably a huge weight lifted from their shoulders and their hearts, but where does this leave the world now?

Are we expected to believe that Osama's death will lead to peace? Has anyone thought about the consequences of his murder? How do we know that this won't spur more terrorist attacks from those who followed him?

I read a quote that sums this up quite well; "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind".

I can only hope that the troops serving in Afghanistan can be safe and go home to their families.

I'm really interested to hear your opinions on this, so please feel free to comment on this post or contact me via twitter.
