This Means Nothing To Me?

Ohhhh, Vienna!

Never play drinking games with the Germans. The forfeits include having to enter whatever that British effort was in the Eurovision Song Contest. Oh, well, a bet's a bet.

I have to say this for the French. At least they still sing in their own language. There is far too much English in Eurovision these days. Frightful Euro-English, at that. Is that what is now taught in schools on the Continent? Surely not!

One year, we ought to confuse all the more-or-less English-speaking viewers by entering something in Welsh.

But I beg you, across Europe and this year in Australia, not to vote for Britain.

Like the Irish in the 1990s, who ended up showing nothing but repeats of Seventies favourites (TaxiCagney and Lacey, Starsky and Hutch) as satirised on Father Ted, we simply could not begin to afford to host the damn thing next year.

  1. As the famous Sir James Dyson now says he wants Britain to leave the EU because he is fed up of British businesses operating under rules "made by and for Germany".

    Owen Paterson backs Nigel Lawson's claim that Britain would prosper outside the EU.

    1. They're all dead, aren't they?

      None of them ever said a word of this when it might have made any difference. Quite the reverse, in fact,

      Paterson is as thick as mince, and only we political anoraks have ever heard of him. But his County Set relatives are convinced that he is frightfully clever and important. He isn't.
