Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

From The Sublime…

…to the ridiculous. From Sir Ian McKellen illuminating Shakespeare to the camp extravaganza that is known as Eurovision. Yes, tonight is the night of the finale for 2007. Martin and I will be there in front of the telly, waving the flag along to the High Life pastiche that is Flying the Flag performed by Scooch.

    How about that block voting though eh? And what about those silver shorts?

    Well, I don’t know that we can complain too much about the block voting phenomenon; after all, if it hadn’t been for Ireland and Malta, the UK would have ended up with null pointes… And I correctly predicted that the Biggins-like character in the shorts would do well. Greece’s Ricky Martin lookalike also confirmed my predictions, although I was surprised that Spain didn’t get more votes. I thought that Russia would have won, but perhaps the Eastern Bloc now think that they can safely thumb their noses at them. I didn’t see Serbia coming at all though…

    Coboró, I know what you mean, but for me it’s one of those "so bad, it’s good" type of experience. I have to watch it on BBC, though, in order to share in Terry Wogan’s world-weary commentary – I don’t think I could bear it otherwise. Dutch TV has Paul de Leeuw commentating, and he takes it much too seriously.
