I don't know why the lovely Lydia came last in the Eurovision Song Contest, because I didn't see it. I was too busy trying to find somebody, anybody to go to see Napalm Death with me. Oh well. But I do know that a few weeks/stroke/months ago, Lydia came to our local Alcampo Superstore to sign copies of her album. Had I known she was going to come last in the Eurovision Song Contest I would have gone along and got her to sign my flab, but I didn't know, so I had to make do with looking at the photos afterwards. She struck me as being a very nice polite young lady, patiently attending the Tellytubbies age-group fans queuing up for her autograph. Perhaps that's why she lost, because all her fans were tucked up in bed, so they couldn't phone their votes in. Well, a similar excuse seemed to work when Beepster were desperately trying to explain away their surprising "win" in the Brits. Will Looper be doing tour t-shirts for their amazing "excess all areas especially the reading aloud area" US jaunt? JD Salinger or Inspector Gadget? You decide.... Thank you to Ailsa for her detailed account of Saturday night. More stalking, that's what we need. Those gorgeous blonde groupies sounded like the Fembots from Austin Powers. I can just imagine Mad Dog Murdoch loosening his collar and trying to think about Margaret Thatcher in the nude on a cold day, to stop himself from getting a stiffy, which would have led to the rapid evacuation of the entire bar. Have we got any Man City fans on the list? Here is a nice paragraph from this week's "Economist" - the "Smash Hits" of the financial world: "In contrast, the many thousands of people in Manchester who have rejected United and instead support the chronically unsuccesful Manchester City get a fantastic press. They are "true fans" - in other words, they are masochists who have turned their back on the hollow pleasures of victory in favour of repeated and humiliating defeat." Michael Jones, I have the solution to your problem - simply insert a "Zeta" between your first and last names and hey presto! Guys! If you're mates with a bird and then ask her out and she gives you a knockback, try to stay mates with her - all is not lost! You never know, she might have a good-looking mate with big knockers who's dying for a shag, and willing to do it with absolutely anybody.
