Hello Kittens, I wasn't jealous about the picnic at all. I had to go back to Manchester on Monday afternoon, and got back in time to see the best film I've seen in months, years even. I think Kelly the Proposer has already mentioned "Kitchen" but I think any film that makes me break all concentration and drift off into its world, days after I've seen it, has got to be something very special indeed. It's romantic, funny, beautifully shot, stylish, touching, sad, and I loved it very very much indeed. Those far-eastern film-makers are showing the rest of the world how it's done, and I salute them. Talking of Kitchens, in a bizarre "this could be a case for Mulderrr and Scullleeee" scenario, my own kitchen flooded that night. The truth is out there. Or whatever... Talking of Kitchens, it occured to me that I hadn't voiced my opinion on the "controversial" bootlegging issue. There's a very good reason for that, I don't actually give a toss. As I was saying, I wasn't jealous about the picnic at all. Until...I read of Elisabeth Z's Eurovision renditions. I trust you'll all be tuning in. Eurovision rules. JJ's coming round for beer, cheese, the song contest, and the final "Father Ted" episode (which I missed last week). Kind of a Pan-european picnic, if you like. We will be picking our winners, and putting our arms around the world to touch our fellow Europeans. I'm hoping for a repeat of last year's awesome Icelandic S&M number, which left even Terry Wogan speechless at it's kinkiness. Of course, there are injustices - Katrina and the Waves winning last year and Gina G not winning the year before, but anyone who saw the heartbreaking events at the Brittania Stadium last week will know that life is full of such injustices. Eurovision is a microcosm of life. So think of me at 11 o'clock, wetting my pants in excitement as they announce the scores, not forgetting the Summertime Special dance troupe during the judging. Who will be the successor to "Waterloo", "Poupee de cire poupee de son", "A little peace" and "Let it swing, and let it rock and roll". I bet Stuart Murdoch likes Eurovision.
