Yes, it's Eurovision Song Contest weekend. Love it or hate it (and I swing each way several times during the evening) it is, as per it's own hype, a televisual feast!
This year's UK entry, Josh Dubovie is singing a Pete Waterman song, 'That sounds good to me', which must surely win the prize - "Most Inappropriately Titled UK Entry of All Time". On this evidence, Mr Waterman is well past his best. I thinks he needs help from his old friends, Mr Stock and Mr Aiken. As I write, the bookmakers have Josh at 200-1 - so that's another prize - "Longest Ever Odds Against a UK Eurovision Entry"
At times like this I'm glad that I'm Irish - Niamh Kavanagh's (she won in 1993) entry (It's for you) is at least well-written and melodic.
Win, lose or draw (and who really cares), it promises to be an entertaining evening and the debate in the Laird houselhold will be what makes it such fun. It's just a pity Sir Terry has retired - Graham Norton is good but it's a hard act to follow.
Whatever you do this weekend - have a good one!
