Eurovision Song Contest

I watched a bit of the semi-final last night, out of curiosity. I saw about five entries - all of them sung in English! How very strange, given the title of the contest...!

Abba, who won in 1975 - the last time I watched the contest - may not have been the first 'foreign' group to sing in English.

Although the Eurovision Song Contest has rarely managed to avoid politics - you only need to see who does or doesn't vote for Cyprus and how the countries that were part of what was Yugoslavia vote for or against one another - but I must confess that the link between Nigel Farage and tomorrow's 'musical' extravaganza eludes me....

They are both more than a little bit sh*t ?

Only a little bit?

Remember - it's the taking part that counts, not the winning...

Actually, one is a huge pile that stinks

Of course it is! A bit like medals for everyone at school sports days.

Oh no! It's much more serious than that.

Yes, but one is harmless whilst the other is nothing but harm...

Is there a new genre now Australian Coloratura Pop - well maybe not new - it’s like Kate Bush on speed!

'I believe the time has come for the United Kingdom to hold a straight in/out referendum - no ifs or buts - on our continued participation in this contest'.

I blame Farage for the UK entry coming last.
