Its kinda like a beauty pageant but its for women of Irish descent. So even though theres girls in it from all over the world (England, America, Dubai, Austrailia) they have some Irish in their family. Its not really judged on looks but more on personality and who would be a good ambassador for the festival.
It goes on for a week altogether and the Roses go all around Ireland before the actual competition takes place.The woman who wins is supposed to be the one who best represents the woman in this song.

I'm here, had a tiring day and can't believe what has been happening today.
I am an equal supporter of Josie and John, in all honesty I love them both. But I am not a loy and I am not a mucker, I am me, Wendy!!! I have my own opinions and it doesn't matter what people tell me I should think, I will think my way, end of. It angers me that peeps sit at their lappys or on their phones directing hate at ANY individuals - why waste energy on someone you dislike, I don't get it
. If you dislike someone then surely you ignore them! Today I have visited my father in his hospital bed, in the bay opposite lays my daughter-in-law to be's grandmother seriously ill. My daughter-in-law to be came to see my father and on my way out I stopped to visit her gran. My daughter-in-law came out in a rash in a matter of minutes, then burst into tears, the stress outwardly showing with two weeks to go to the wedding. Crying for my Pete who's grandfather is ill, crying for her gran who is ill, crying because her wedding is almost upon us with two important peeps although in the twilight of their years looking so gaunt as the minutes tick by. Then I come home, later than usual, read the thread and think what the???? I just don't get it, I really don't. All this hate saddens me deeply and greatly.

Brilliant post Annette. I haven't posted in any other forum (apart from the tennis one when I first joined
). This is my home and this is where I will stay supporting both Josie and John

Aaaw, I do know what you mean. I saw posts on twitter on CBB Launch Night saying that they were kinda sad or emotional as it brought back memories....
And I was just like..... Whatever, linus... Bring on JED-WAAAAAAAAAAAAARD
I was too exicited just waiting them to arrive to be emotional. But as I watched last night show today, and it ended with Tara, Bobby and Paddy on the smokers bench just chatting away and then going back in and I went aaaaaaaaaaaaw
A girl and two boys. HELLO.... It was like Josie with John James and Govan on the smokers bench just chatting away with no one else on sight and then they got up and went back in...
I was like... aaaaaaw, the memory. *tear*

“Like Heidi and Ali etc.. have said on here before, if John and Josie stopped making each other happy in their relationship and instead made each other upset and angry .. then they did the right thing to put an end to it.

It will still be sad to me and many of you that it didn't work out. Those feelings and emotions are natural as we watched them for all those months - seeing virtually every minute of their interaction and the beautiful way their relationship developed. It has been hard for me to let go, and accept that this will never be the same again .. (it took me a couple of months after they split to realise this. I'm not ashamed to admit that. The reality hit me hard when John spoke to Now about finding another girl that he really liked. It seemed so sudden to me - but these things happen and you can't control the way you feel about people or WHEN these emotions come about .. and then progress)”

Of course it's still sad. I've never tried to deny it. I've just looked at it as a realistic situation. The break up was needed, it was just too much for them.
And then at the same time, cause I do also think that they could've been perfect for each other, that why did they let it become so hard that there was no other way than to break up. Why did they act so difficult, why did you not learn form your past arguments, that if we keep this going on, it will just be more serious battles in the future.
Something keeps banging on my head saying.... NO, you two did not try hard enough to try and make it better. You gave up too easily.
As if I would know...
But still, I do think that they were just not willing to compromise for the sake of their relationship. They kept going, but they didn't try hard enough to change the ways that made their relationship hard. It's like what John said "it never seems to get easier, it's just gets worse"
I took that as they just kept going like normal, so obviously it got worse, cause they didn't try and make it better. They weren't willing to compromise
Anyway...........
I don't know what came over me to write that down

You'd think?? Woudn't you?
But doesn't part of you also think... No, they wouldn't. Cause they're so stubborn and would not back down.....
