It's the annual screaming contest this Saturday. Ukraine will win. You heard it here first.
Following the UK's support for Ukraine expect to see the UK pick up more votes than they normally do.
The Germans love this contest. My wife usually invites a few friends round to watch it and they have a small party. I tend to sit on one side, dabbing my ears with cotton wool to soak up the blood coming out of my ears and doing my best Victor Meldrew impersonation.

I'm a big fan of Eurovision - I know, it really really doesn't fit my profile. Watched the first semi-final last night. I liked Moldova - the slightly camp (it's almost mandatory) Eastern European equivalent of the Pogues. 200-1 to win (1/5 the odds for top 4), worth a quid. Ukraine are 4-7. Nailed on winners.

Banality
The final refuge for those in denial of the consequences of their previous choices.

Very big in the UK despite the fact that Europeans don't like us and we invariably finish near the bottom. Though not this year, if the bookies are to be believed. The Terry Wogan commentary was brilliant. Unscripted genius. Graham Norton is also very good - though a bit marmitey for some. When Wogan handed over to Norton, his only advice was to not start drinking until song No. 9. For viewers - the beer/cider/wine/prosecco starts flowing considerably earlier. But the nation comes together at song No. 9 and raises a glass to Sir Terry. |

Graham Norton is a big no for me, I used to line him when he first appeared on the airwaves, fresh and quite funny, but I find him rather irritating now ,as ( imo) he hits on a theme and grinds it out with dumb innuendos and schoolboy s******** , also I tend to lose interest after about 7/8 attempts of entertainment

Live and unscripted I still think he's very good. And re-runs of Father Ted as Father Noel. |

Another fun fact about Sir Terry. He hosted the Children in Need telethon for over 30 years. Dermot O'Leary took over from Terry. Dermot rocked up at the TV studio a few days before transmission and asked to go through the rehearsal process. To which the reply was (I paraphrase) "Oh, we don't do rehearsals, Terry just turns up 30 mins before we go on air, goes into make-up and then goes live, just an auto-cue and ad-libs at the ready".
