Tom Daley’s Splash! Tries to Capitalise on The Olympics, Fails Heroically

January 7th, 2013 By Chris Starr

God loves a trier. And best of all, Britain – perennial underachievers, the lot of us – loves someone who chokes on the big stage. In the run up to last year’s Olympics, Tom Daley was the toast of the nation. The spry and media-friendly diver was going to be our big medal hope: young and bright, he was bound to win gold.

Except that actually he’s not all that great a diver. Don’t get me wrong, he’s one of the best in the world, but he’s not the best. Which is a shame, because his attempts for the gold medal got hyped out of all proportion and when he ended up with a bronze there was a collective disappointment.

Here it is, the moment literally nobody on Earth has been waiting for – the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.

This year, Eurovision is coming all the way from Moscow. We’re not, by the way. We’re sitting on a sofa in what appears to be a US military-approved stress position hammering away on a grossly underpowered laptop. But that’s beside the point. Can the UK win Eurovision this year? No. No we can’t. But join us back here at 8pm so we can all watch the spectacular failure together.

The liveblog’s ready for you after the jump, incidentally. What are you waiting for?

So this is it. It’s been a while – a bit too much of a while, according to our weakened mindstate – but we’ve finally profiled all but one of the Eurovision entries this year.

That leaves us with just one to do – for some poxy little island called ‘the UK’ – before our great big Eurovision 2009 liveblog. Tomorrow evening, at 8pm, we’re going to be liveblogging the arse off the Eurovision Song Contest, either until it finishes or until we have a stress-related nosebleed. Don’t bet against the latter. Anyway, our point is this – be there.

So, finally, here is the Eurovision 2009 profile for Jade Ewen from the UK…
