Quote from: Slim on May 11, 2024, 11:49:45 AMIn other news - I must say I find it distasteful that Israel have been allowed to take part, in the present circumstances. Classic Israeli selfish disregard for other people of course, considering the trouble they've caused. Hopefully the crowd will make their feelings known.

Being as Israel isn't in Yurp, they should just feck right off anyway.
Have the Crims been sent packing this year.

There's a thin, patchy layer of high-altitude broken cloud over NW Leics at the moment. Can't see anything with the naked eye. Might try a phone photo in a bit.

I confess to liking Croatia's entry.

Other prospects I think will do well are Switzerland and Armenia.


Rousing dance tune from Austria to finish off the show.

Big take of the night for me is how many of the acts are singing in their own language. I actually prefer it this way. Some bonkers stuff as per usual - I quite liked Ireland, a Marylin Manson vibe; Finland too haha. UK - meh.

Yes, that's sort of how I saw it, but without any colourful hues.

He presented the show 114 times from 1983-1991, third only to Tony Blackburn (147) and erm, someone who presented it 261 times.

Once saw the lovely Laura outside Cafe Adventure in Hope with her mates. She was on a proper road bike then.

Didn't get as far as Hope myself today as once again I was too bus watching professional cyclists riding up hills in another day's armchair travel. Did pop out for a couple of hours though, still a bit warm but thankfully there was a bit of a cooling breeze.

Did a very similar 35 miles to last Saturday, but went up to the Moors through Cutthorpe rather than Old Brampton. No Cuckoos about today, but a Tawny Owl was hooting up towards what was the Gate Inn. Gets me to 275 miles for May and I'm somehow still ahead of 2021's tally at this point.
