In the pub the other day, Jane was talking about how brilliant Eurovision is and how they should take it back to its glory days. There were no glory days of course, Jane was simply smacked off her mind on Gin as Eurovision is cack. It did remind me though of this funny short they had on the Culture Show a couple of months back, where they got Neil Hannon off of the Divine Comedy to show how to construct the perfect Eurovision Song. I found a clip on YouTube. Sadly it misses off the bit where he creates the song, using classic Eurovision techniques such as Celtic etherea, the uplifting key change, meaningless "Language Neutral" lyrics and the like. However, it is quite funny none the less and almost as skilled as his previous effort: My Lovely Horse.
Mini Blog
I come across a number of interesting, fun, clever, stupid links on my travels around the internet, but can never be arsed to blog them as it's too much effort. However, Friend Feed has aleviated nearly all of that hassle. So, subscribe to this feed and you'll get all the links that I think worthy of your attention. It will be just like old times, when this blog was nothing but a repository of links to other sites. Anything else I post on the internet, like new photos will also show up in the feed.

chris, chris, chris,
Eurovision is simply the most entertaining televisual feast of the year. Songs that are, with the very odd exception (Norway's 1985 winning entry "La Det Swinge" performed by Bobbysock for example), shit. A voting system which allows the most blatent exhibition of national predjudice. Glamourous hosts with zero chemistry and little grasp of English. Genius every time.
Hint - turn down Tel and watch it with the Ken Bruce Radio 2 commentary for true unadulterated vitriol.
