    Curse Of The Eurovision

    Didn't want COP26 - for the all the good it has done anyway (Truss says bring on the fracking and the extra oil and gas exploration). I'm not hugely into sport. But I have a love and a special place for Eurovision. Shame. Alas. Egad. etc etc.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    I don't think there's any political machinations as such. I'm just disappointed. Vastly disappointed. My medical condition might have allowed me to attend a hometown contest, Liverpool out of the question.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    I'm really glad that, in the United Kingdom, the contest will be held for the umpteenth time in England. (And if you can't detect the sarcasm in the above statement....) Once again, the three other parts of the Kingdom are second rated.
  17. Truss sacks Conor Burns for serious misconduct allegation. You can change the leader, you can't change sleazy Tory MPs.

    Fleetwood Mac

    My brother and his folks were off to see him, they are waiting on their money back. They've now decided to go and see Roxy Music, if anyone has plans to see them, my brother's track record of cancelled concerts might delay your purchase of tickets...
