Eurovision
No, it's not the "way forward" shared by the European Community as we march onward into the 21st Century in a spirit of love and partnership, it's a song contest... and gosh darn awful it is too!
Oh to live in the Antipodes (at least until it's over anyway!)
If you've never seen it - give thanks. If you have - our phonelines are open now .....
This morning the BBC, that most reverend institution, announced the news this nation has been awaiting with bated breath. Javine will sing the UK entry in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. She beat "glamour" model Jordan into second place aided, I'm convinced, by the fact that a certain part of her anatomy "fell out" of her already extremely revealing dress during her victory performance!
To be fair, Eurovision is must see television. The vote rigging is unmatched across the globe, no totalitarian regime could touch it with a barge-pole. Since the arrival of the Baltic states, the tactical voting has become more entertaining than the songs... and God bless Terry Wogan, his cynicism is beautiful, it brings a tear to the eye (of laughter that is.)
But joy of joys, this year we get a double dose. It seems the Danish Broadcasting Corporation came up with the idea of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the contest by staging the Battle of the Eurovision Greats. So thank you Denmark, it's not as if the Olsen Brothers weren't punishment enough!
Besides, we all know Waterloo is going to win it!
