I suppose that all of us, the members of the old continent, have watched the Eurovision contest. I´ve tried to vote for Bosnia, but I couldn´t. Are there any sinister people organising a voting for our own winners ? I´m off to see the official voting.
Indeed, like many others I watched quite a bit of Eurovision this year (well, it's an excuse not to spend the evening revising for tomorrow's exam). I must say I was very disappointed by the low number of absolutely dismal records this year, some countries seem to be actually taking it seriously. For the non-Europeans amongst us, it was won by Sweden with a blatant Abba rip-off song. And Spain came last, probably because of the awful dress their singer was wearing (sort of like a rainbow, with a red heart poking out from the top; if they'd cut it up later they could have made Skittles). This year I had the added bonus of being able to watch it with subtitles, and find out what the lyrics were; our favourite was the Turkish entry with "I, with a torch in my ear, like a lullaby". Answers on a pstcard please... Lots of Sinisterines will be down in London this afternoon enjoying a picnic, and I'm slogging away revising, I'm jealous...
