This will be Ashton's second non-English entry to BJFest, with last years entry finishing a superb 4th for the nation!

January 4, 201510 yr Author Can't believe it's been 4 years since I sent this masterpiece: LW4yKDHC4fc Think I'm going to have to return, after this contest, to sending stuff like this. I miss being trashy.

January 4, 201510 yr Author A glass of Brandy should ease the pain :P 7 years! This is our 9th calendar year in BJSC... That vile thing shouldn't have even been allowed near the contest, never mind won the thing. It's still the most boring non-entity of a song I've ever had the displeasure to hear. Holy shit. I've been involved in this contest for like a third of my life.
