Really?

Not. E cars are a bad idea. They don't reduce any emissions because the petrol they save will be used somewhere else.

At a much slower rate. If everyone in the world had an E car (i know that possibility is in the land of make believe but bare with me) the amount of petrol the world uses in 1 year would be used in 5 years.

I am surprised Lordi have not drank themselves to death yet

Most of the cuntos that purport the petrol shtick, fly at least on 4 planes a year.

 

I've not been on a plane since 81, so I feel justified in ignoring the cocksuckers.

No. Petrol has to be burned at the same rate that it is produced. It cannot be stored. Crude oil demand keeps on growing and we have to get rid of petrol somehow. Petrol-fuelled cars are the best way to do it.

If everyone in the world had an E car, everyone would be dead.

Danish Rock Singer Kim Larsen dead at 72 years

Was about to post this. I could have sworn he was mentioned here somewhere? Somewhere around January he must have been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Brian Kennedy, who represented Ireland at Eurovision 2006 is suffering from rectal cancer.

 

The article also helpfully mentions that Brian's brother, the singer/songwriter Bap Kennedy, is receiving palliative care for pancreatic cancer :skull: . (He's keeping a blog but hasn't updated it since 1st September...)

Brian Kennedy's cancer is still there and "increasing in thickness":

Portuguese reports of the sad death of Maria Guinot who represented Portugal at the 1984 Contest. It's now silence for her. RIP.

 

Silêncio e tanta gente:

Great song. Mind you, 1977 was chock full of great songs. The UK (obv) or Israel still should have won though.

However, what I'm most looking forward too is seeing 87-year old Owe Thörnqvist (b. 1929) perform as perhaps the oldest ever Melodifestivalen performer. Hopefully the old geezer won't have a heart attack on stage. :wheelchair:

2 years later, it's time for another old dude to perform at the Melodifestivalen. On Saturday, the 86-year-old Jan Malmsjö will sing "Leva Livet", which in Swedish means "Live Life". He was married to American dancer Barrie Chase for a few years in the 60s, and had a small part in Hitchcock's film Torn Curtain, playing a Swedish journalist.

 

Edit: Last Saturday, 74-year-old Arja Saijonmaa performed in the first qualification round, but ended up in last place. She looked quite good for her age.

Just watching the death of the UK's chances for Tel Aviv 2019.

 

Have modern songwriters forgotten the middle eight? Have they forgotten the quirky twist? The cut off of the music at the end while the soul of the singer is ripped in the last four/six bars?

 

Be interesting who we get/send.
