Something silly..
The Eurovision Song Contest ... now come on, pick yourselves up from the floor. Apparently the rest of Europe think that this is a serious contest!Come-on bee-have! From my first memories of the Contest, which we used to watch as a family, I can recall my Mums comments about the voting - x won't vote for y and y will give 12 points to Z. Expanding the Countries taking part over the years, only appears to have drawn others into the fray. When Terry Wogan started compering, we fell about laughing because he was saying, very dryly, what she had been saying. It was then that we realised that everyone else was thinking the same thing – well, on this Island, anyway.There is an article in the Mail TV magazine where Terry Wogan is talking about the contest, and I spent a few minutes today reading it, lost in humorous memories, added to by some extra Wogan quotes. ‘The Eurovision Song Contest is rubbish’. ‘It is a piece of huge, grandiose, magnificent rubbish … and I love it’.For years we have tuned in – just for the results!
