I used to like Eurovision a long time ago, but it was never the same for me after Dana beat the lovely Mary Hopkin. 1970 or so I think. Temporary resurgence of interest when Abba were in (I wonder why) but after that I found watching the scores more interesting. Terry Wogan was always vfm too, and sometimes i'd watch a bit just to hear him, but I haven't looked at it again since he left.

Calm down Dave. You're alright, you. I like you and want you to stick around.
In spite of your perverse liking for Eurovision.

Never been a fan of Eurovision but loved the film 'Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga', written by and starring Will Farrell - an American - oh the irony. Well worth a look.

I got chucked out of a park while I was having my lunch so they could film a scene from that film! They made all the regular punters leave and replaced us with extras, who looked much the same only slightly more attractive and with better clothes.

We took a couple of pounds of asparagus round to our "babies" (in their fifties) and they were excited because it was "Eurovision night" and they were going to have a boozy night watching and gereally having a silly fun night.
Whatever I cooked that night took a little longer (fish harissa tray bake?) so we missed the British entrant (a blessing it seems). Graham N didn't seem his normal ebullient self.
I found the French singer curiously attractive. (is that wrong?)
I was quite taken with the young ladies in skimpy black underwear from Azerbaijan too. Trouble is, I'm so old, I can't remember why!

I had a bit of a thing about Vicky Leandros, who won in the early '70s. Her power over me was undiminished when I met her through work around 1980. I didn't say much to her though, possibly because I could feel my partner's eyes boring into the back of my head
