The Eurovision Song Contest....again.

The Geopolitical Woke Circus is coming to your local TV Network, be sure to switch off.

Uck! I feel sick.

I agree but, on the other hand, the whole thing seems a whole lot of fun, for those that like it.

Please no more bearded Fat Ladies dressed up in winged faery costumes, please! Ha ha ha

I mean, why is the UK even competing, nobody likes us?
Cypriot panel - Greece 12 points

I haven't watched it since Terry Wogan died (RIP), it was fun back then 🙂

That's certainly true and always has been.
It's never been meant to be taken too seriously of course.
But politics and wokeness have taken it to new levels of patheticness.

On a more sombre note, how can they allow the nation whom I'm not allowed to criticise, entry into the competition?

I don't condone any violence in the world or have preference over ethnicity, religion or culture but this doesn't sit well with me. 🤔

I thought Russia had been excluded 🤔

Maybe the EBU organisers would justify the inclusion by saying they're attempting to keep politics out of it - but the majority of people would surely have your attitude, that they should be excluded.

In the interest of balance though, I will point out that a forum member here once said that the UK 'backed the wrong side' by supporting Ukraine 🤨

Thanks Gray, my little rant is over and my lips are zipped, I want to P on the fire, not ignite it 🙂

Not a hint of child seat...


...and no, the Focus couldn't reverse straight out.

 

[Friesiansam]

I think I'm going to sack my right knee, as it's no longer doing it's job properly.

A knee's job description does not include, providing near constant pain, even when in bed.

TESCO.
I buy their own brand Bramley apple pies, 6 for £1.29 (reasonabley priced, due entirely to Aldi).
Today (again) Mr Kipling version marked down from the out of the question price of £3 to £1.75, making them appear to be a bargain.

But, every time the Kiplings go on offer, their own brand, coincidentally become 'temporarily out of stock'.

They must think people don't notice their slimy tricks.
How I wish everyone intending to make the £1.29 purchase refuses to pay the extra 46p out of principle.

And no, I don't think the Kiplings are worth extra.

Tesco's Fresh bakery section is much better. Sainsbury's is also equally good.

The poor quality of the software/firmware provided in consumer electronics like TVs. Buggy doesn’t even begin to describe it. Yet we have become conditioned to accept that is part of progress.

Too good expensive for me mate.

My wife makes everything bakery for us. Before she retired, she was a chef, properly qualified as she did a 4 year City and Guilds.

No supermarket rubbish for us. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Software always seems to be an after thought with many manufacturers.

PCs for example, the bio updates are always ongoing. One little enhancement here can sometimes create a problem elsewhere, same with the operating system. Still, it is possible with Windows OS to revert to the last recovery point or go back and reinstall the old Bios (if that was the root of the problem) on your motherboard.

I'll be great if everything was done right the first time!
