Woods is back

There were some good performances at this year's Brits '09.

You can always rely on Girls Aloud and U2 to put on a good show.

It was Duffy's night as she won Best British Female, Best British Album and Best British Breakthrough Act, though I think there should have been an award for Coldplay and Take That. Both groups were up for awards in five categories, but walked away with nothing.

The one weak category was Best British Male and it must have been difficult to pick a winner there.

It was interesting to see Pet Shop Boys play their old hits too.

Kylie proved to be a glamorous host, but I thought that Gavin and Stacey stars James Corden and Matt Horne's jokes did not always hit the mark.

Meanwhile I am glad to hear Tiger Woods is to begin playing competitive golf again.
He is to play his first event this week at the WGC Accenture Match Play Championships. It will be his first event since winning The US Open last year.

The world of golf has not been the same without Woods.

There is nothing more exciting in golf than seeing Woods make a charge up the leaderboard.

Blobby returns

So Mr Blobby may be retuning to our screens in Noel Edmonds' House Party.

Apparently Noel Edmonds has been asked to come back for a special show and if it is successful to make a series.

Mr Blobby had a Christmas number one single in the 1990's, which would only happen in Britain.

I enjoyed Noel Edmonds' House Party at first, and remember watching the Gotchas, Grab a Grand and The Gunge Tank. But I think the shows became very repetitive and they were eventually scrapped.

Noel Edmonds has longevity though, and is currently riding high with shows such as, Deal or No Deal and Noel's HQ on Sky TV.

I caught the end of the Australian Open final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, won by Nadal 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (7-3), 3-6, 6-2.

Nadal was obviously ecstatic to have won and was gracious in his success, and Federer was distraught in comparison. He was left physically and mentally broken by the defeat.

I think the Federer-Nadal battle can now be compared with that of McEnroe and Borg.

Andy Murray may have been favourite for this year's Australian Open, but he is still a long way off beating these two in a grand slam final.
