Your neighbour needs you

Still catching up with comments, but meanwhile, another radio thought that hopefully taps into what's being bantered about over the water cooler. Music bed: 'Gonna make you a star', David Essex.:

Now there’s one question that’s been keeping us all awake at night the past few weeks. Well, me and my flatmates anyway. That’s right: who’s going to win ‘Your country needs you’ and take Britain to Eurovision? And if you‘ve been watching the show you’ll know there’ve been a few other pressing questions too. Like, how many teenage girls will swoon over Mark this week? And have Jade’s legs actually stopped growing?

It’s been edge of your seat stuff watching them all face the public vote as well. You can see it written on their faces: ‘Will I make it? Does my country need me?’ The funny thing is, this is the kind of question we ALL ask ourselves from time to time. Does anyone need or want me? And you might be surprised to hear that the answer is, yeah. You see, in God’s scheme of things you don’t have to be able to sing like a nightingale to have a job to do, a role to fill - and probably one that no-one else could do half as well as you. Even if it’s simply cooking a nice dish or helping someone who needs it. So go on, be the star you were always meant to be. I can’t speak for your country. But God wants you, and your neighbour needs you. So what are you waiting for?

And this marks, finally, my 100th post. Do you get a telegram from the Queen?

I helped a couple of people out yesterday - didn't need god to do so.

But God wants you

Really, his letter must have got lost in the post :-)

and your neighbour needs you.

Define neighbour then we can discuss how god ordered the destruction of the jews neighbours - well actually the people who's land they invaded in a raping and pillaging campaign of genocide commanded by god.

I really dont know where you get this loving god idea from

A fax, e-mail, letter, sms... erm - you know, some form of communication direct from God?

Not too much to ask?

And this marks, finally, my 100th post. Happy birthday brushwood thicket.

Any cake?

Well Done

That's true, they were the best thing in eurovision for years - unlike that bunch who were dressed up like a cabin crew.

Happy 100th post Bruce

Was that the UK entry? I must have had it on fast forward :-)

Lee,

This is why eurovision should be a crime against humanity: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=E6FmisoHSc0

Being forced to eat potnoodle is too good for them. Can we set up a penal colony on mars?
