Gerry Anderson Jr, son of Gerry and Sylvia, reportedly died end of April having earlier been diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer:

Rees-Mogg seems to have taken a dislike to this number. Can't understand why...

Mike Margolis, director, writer and producer and husband of Anita Harris, reported dead by Anita herself:

I have the full Eurovision party Saturday, so I'll be soaked in whisky until late Sunday. Thanks for letting me know.

Well, he's not on the list of the lost afaik, so.... Anyway, is @gcreptile's 8 days of no updates finished? I'd like a break from posting QOs... Edit: my bad, just seen Haidarx2 been added to waiting QOs.

Garbage as you well know. Gris Gris team runner obviously notafriend - stop winding users up.

I've seen stranger obits this year. Mr Berry says it best:

Lol not a friend is the opposite of a friend. I changed it to Haidar Haidar, some Syrian writer...

Did Haidar Haidar get a QO? Asking for a notafriend...

She's on the DDP. I agree, I think she's on the one way ticket, valid for six months.

Bloody Mail. Where's the bloody BBC? In bloody Liverpool, fawning over the internationals trying to get lucky with some tight arsed young thing. Or the Croatians in their dad loosey whiteys.

Jon Povey (who also later joined The Pretty Things) reportedly dead:

Wow. Was there moments ago.

The qualification of Croatia, Serbia and Czechia tells you all you need to know. Astonishing. Azerbaijan had a very wobbly vocal performance, so disappointed for them, soon as they finished I was sure they were out. Finland definitely have a show there. His vocals in the choon part were very poor after a strong start. He's going to do very well.

No problem, off to watch Eurovish.

Antonio Carbajal, Mexican goalkeeper allegedly last survivor of the 1950 World Cup, reportedly dead aged 93: https://www-am-com-mx.translate.goog/superdeportivo/futbol/2023/5/9/antonio-la-tota-carbajal-fallece-los-93-anos-en-leon-659534.html?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc DDP Pick.

Norway - of course one of the better songs. Finland - I don't get it - either it's a rap record or a choon - it's a game of two halves for me. Average. Sweden - sounds like a mash up of Euphoria and Katy Perry's Firework to me. The time for these tiresome mangled dance records must surely be over. Poland - I seriously considered this. It's a bit "boingy boingy" but it's rather appealing. Israel - so good I don't remember it at all. So I went back like a fool. She has the power of a unicorn. A mythical creature to which she attributes various traits. Bollox. Spain - look, bringing back the Ottoman empire does this one no favours - it's wailing and appalling. UK - had my say - people need to stop being cunts in music - revenge songs and all that were done to death in the 80s and 90s. The idea is old - let's have a more positive message. There, in before the first semi. I've never been so sure something horrendous is going to win, based on a special effect or a wild outfit rather than competent songwriting. It's a terrible contest with only about 8 really decent numbers. Imo.
