OKOK, I promise I’ll get to the more serious stuff in a minute. But first ….

Oh my ... Ain’t she pretty.  That isn’t a question.
Only 16.  Wish her well and hope it won’t spoil her as this kind of thing so often does.

It’s great a Brit girl won in the face of all the awful teen news here in the UK about girl crime and girl gangs etc.

Amy Jackson, 16, was crowned in Houston, Texas on Saturday.

She has now returned home to Knowsley, Liverpool to celebrate with friends and family.

She said: “I really thought I had not made the final five, but then I went on to take the title. I was completely shocked and so happy.”

Miss Jackson beat competitors from Korea, Mexico and Russia to win. As part of the entry, she was marked on her stage presence and her answers in an interview.

The teenager received her GCSE results while at the competition in the US, and found out she had achieved nine passes, five of which were As.

She is now considering going to live in Texas for a year to promote the competition. After that, she plans to start her A-levels and then go on to university to study law.

Miss Jackson reached the final in Texas after winning Miss Teen Liverpool and Miss Teen Great Britain competitions.

Her father, BBC Radio Merseyside presenter Alan Jackson said: “The contestants were asked to talk about their home town. She mentioned Liverpool FC, Capital of Culture, the Mersey – there is no shortage of things to say about Liverpool.”

Her 18 prizes include a modelling contract in the US, a wardrobe of clothes, a year’s supply of top cosmetics and shoes and a £10,000 scholarship.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
