Eurovision song contest from hell 2006

I didn't watch the Eurovision Song Contest last weekend. Okay, I KNOW no one ADMITS to watching it, even if they do, but I REALLY didn't. I saw the result on the news is all. I haven't watched the flippin' thing for years, I think the last time I watched it Johhny Logan won it for the second or was it third time?

Anyhow! Whatever happened to Abba? Who won it in 1974! (I don't mean what HAPPENED to them, I mean they were fun, and none gross!) Believe it or not, back in 1974, when Abba came on the stage at Brighton, everyone thought THEY were outrageous! But everyone was mesmerized too.



Or the Brotherhood of Man two years later?





Or Bucks Fizz in I believe it was 1981?

Okay, so we get 2006 roll around and we get the self-confessed Devil Worshippers of Finland winning the song contest and the day! Who from the news clip I saw sounded every bit as dreadful as they look! When they came on I heard more than one person who did watch the contest say, they said: "They're so aweful, they're just bad enough to win it" and they did. But the verdict of Deejay is "nil point"! (Deejay's dodgy French Accent)




Either I am getting old, or the world is a much more dangerous place than thirty years ago. Maybe a bit of both.

Following on from an earlier in the week blog, the technophobic art of procrastination, I have finally got my bluetooth device connected, and actually got my phone to upload a few pics and a test video clip. I'm thinking I could get some short excerpts of the neighbourhood in video when I am out and about, which isn't frequent but now and then. But knowing some of my neighbours, it could be embarassing, not for me I hasten to add. But, you wouldn't believe some of it. Oh yes, likely you would. As it seems pretty general wherever one is located. |
