Get behind the Hump!

Currently everything in England revolves around... England. At this moment, every self-respecting shop has a corner that's dedicated to British merchandise. Even the package of a dishwasher tablet company is decorated with the Union Jack... This is all due to several big events. The most special one is perhaps the Diamond Jubilee, which marks the 60 years of Queen Elizabeth's reign. It will be celebrated all over the country with street parties and the queen visiting some pretty shows (from the 2nd till the 5th of June). This event will be followed up by London 2012 - aka the Olympics - which is actually not really popular among residents. They are more interested in the well-being of England's football team at EURO 2012. Are they finally going to win this year? 





But first the nation has to support it's national pride at the Eurovision Song Contest: Engelbert Humperdinck. I'm a massive fan of the show and to be fair, the UK's entry is not bad this year. Even though the dear man is 76, he might score douze points! I'll be supporting Turkey, but I'm certainly going to wear the Engelburns and bowtie (download them here). What is your favourite Eurovision entry?

I had to add this image from the BBC. This should be enough reason to let England win!
