Technology in the wrong hands is dangerous. I just turned on the “Sing Along” feature on the Sky+ Box for the Croatian Eurovision entry. The first translation was “the grass has not yet sprouted”. I’m guessing their entry came from the Croatian version of Teagasc.
But my favourite was when they translated “Oj, da da da da da da” to……wait for it……. “Oy, da da da da da da”.
Brian has just been on and sadly had the same attack of sciatica that laid him so low in the semi-finals. Would they not just give him a wheelchair.
Lordi Lordi…….Lordi Lordi……Lordi Lordi.
My only worry is that the boots are hinting that Gary Glitter may be under the make up.
Wait a sec, how can the same woman be the Turkish entry for the competition and on Big Brother simultaneously?

My top 2 moments we’re:
The pre-Sinclair automaton with a paper plate for a face that got up and waved it’s spring hands about at the end of an otherwise reasonable effort by the babershop boys.
And, of course….”We are the winners of Eurovision”…..
And, in honour of Lordi, here’s the full version of their national anthem…
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It’s the country for me.
You’re so near to Russia,
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
You’re so sadly neglected
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
Finland has it all.

Careful or I’ll fish out the words to Eric the half a Bee.

Who’d have thought you could put “semi-carnally” and “half a bee” to such good use in song?

Gary Glitter is Mr. Lordi? Christ, I’ve never gone off a band so fast in my life.
