Alex didn’t want Switzerland to win on the day. He was cheering on Italy, France and Malta so was happy enough but gutted with the public vote on Malta.
I thought Netherlands deserved more points Jac.. I can understand Germany, UK and Spain bombing out because the songs were crap but Netherlands was mid table minimum for me.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Glad Alex did well Nathan, and I agree, I was a bit shocked that Malta got
such a small public vote. I was sitting waiting expectantly, with my virtual
bookies slip in my hand, for a huge chunk of the vote. I thought I had half
a chance, and then a paltry 36 was announced

And so after failing with his temptations in the desert he waited an eternity and returned with some of his fallen angels and on a different stage he mesmerised them with his message…
They don’t know what I’m talking about
You are covered in mud, brother
Yellow cigarette stains on the fingers
Me with the cigar walking
I’m sorry, but I really believe
That I can take this leap
And even though the road is uphill
That’s why I’m training nowAnd good evening, ladies and gentlemen, get rid of the actors
You better not make any more mistakes
You’d better be quiet and good
People here are weird, like drug dealers
Too many nights I was locked out
Now I’ll kick down these front doors
Looking up like climbers
So sorry mom if I’m always out, butI’m out of my mind, but different from them
And you’re out of your mind, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from themI have written pages and pages, I have seen salt then tears
These men in the car, don’t climb the rapids
It is written on a tombstone, in my house THERE IS NO GOD
But if you find the sense of time you will rise from your oblivion
And there is no wind to stop natural power
From the right point of view, you feel the thrill of the wind
With wax wings on my back I will seek that height
If you want to stop me try again, try to cut off my head becauseI’m out of my mind, but different from them
And you’re out of your mind, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from themTalk, unfortunately people talk
They don’t know what they’re talking about
You, take me to where I float
Because I’m lacking air here
Talk, unfortunately people talk
They don’t know what they’re talking about
You, take me to where I float
Because I’m lacking air here
Speak, unfortunately people speak
They don’t know what they’re talking about
You, take me to where I float
Because I’m lacking air hereBut I’m out of my mind, but different from them
And you’re out of your mind, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from them
We are out of our minds, but different from themWe are different from them
And thirty million followed him with his waxen wings, and they were all joyous to bend down and break the accepted rules and be FREE
( Italian word for today is Vampiro – meaning you’re cool!)
The highlights for me were the German entry which was brilliant and the singer of the winner appearing to be caught on camera enjoying what looked suspiciously like a bit of Bolivian nose candy.

That Slimfast looks like good stuff, will put on my shopping list
All I had yesterday evening was a half a tin of cold Guiness – the one with the widget in. Mrs sheep had the other half. It was bucketing down outside at 10.45pm but I rather fancied some chocolate. I knew I would pay through the nose at an offy or late nighter, but I took my large umbrella to face the wind and rain. As I was going down the stairs to open the main door I sensed a feeling of foreboding, as if by going out I might face some danger – but the streets were empty, and it was just a five minute walk to one or other of the late shops – so I thought how ridiculous.
As I progressed up the road the wind stepped up a notch so I angled the umbrella obscuring my vision, but keeping me largely dry.
As I turned the first bend no problem, but then I came to a junction and as I past it my umbrella was grabbed by a woman who was coming around the bend and she swore like trooper tank st me – ” What the **** do you think you are doing and she grabbed the umbrella again ddetaching the sails by ripping them off their holders. From her accent I guessed she was Eastern European. As she passed by me I was furious, and I raised my voice and shouted at the two figures walking away ” Hey that’s no way to behave and where are your manners – AND it’s a Sunday ( if that made a difference !) Anyway she came stomping back to face me with her hands raised and her partner – quite a big bloke looked indignant but stayed back luckily. Face off gamble I thought. Anyway she asked me to apologize for cannoning into her which I did and we shook hands ( a bit unsafe but there we are ( I’m doubly vaccinated) She gave me a nice smile and then we both walked off into the gloom ( I had to repair my umbrella which was quite easy but uncomfortable in the wind ) Anyway when I got into the shop I was rather buzzing from my prediction being right ( I was masked and wearing a black beanie) And the guy said to me – ” When are you next on set ?” And I replied what do you mean ? ” Well you’re an actor aren’t you – I have seen you in films ?

Maybe the shopkeeper thought he’d seen you in a Batman film?
It’s very Poirotesque Tank, and for that reason it strikes a familiar chord with me. As for the shopkeeper, and I went a little out of my way, due to the lateness of hour, he was a generous faced, so on the plump side, young Indian about 34 I would guess – he had a co-worker the same age, same race, and they were enjoying cleaning up the pre-midnight trade. People like me that would walk through wind and driving rain and take on street battles to satiate my desire to increase my serotonin levels with an overpriced bar of choco delight. I guessed I was the victim, and he was using me as banter bait. What was evident to him was I was buzzing with energy, and that was over my prediction. I could easily have been on stage. I did retort…
“I am Michael Caine and not many people know that !”
I don’t think he got it because he replied yes I have seen your face on the screen ( I was masked with my remaining hair under a beanie) and went on…” those.. those blue eyes !” )
There was another late night shopper in the shop and I think he thought the conversation was verging slightly on the lunatic judging by his expression.Out of interest one Saturday late morning an American, probably on the way to Portobello Market, stopped me in the street and said – ” I hope you don’t mind me asking – “You’re the actor Michael Caine aren’t you ?”
” Errrrr NO “.
You’re the spitting image of Michael Caine and he turned to his wife who looked blank.I don’t look remotely like Michael Caine but there you are in somebody’s head I had made their morning.
About 18 years ago a very young attractive Indian Lady I was working with – Since my poisoning I took on part time light work, and there is nothing lighter than working for the government ( who came one morning to start work with the new area manager – which made people realise she would do anything to advance her career, including night time pursuits not listed in the Koran) told me once I looked just like Dirty Den on Eastenders. I could not see that at all – but it gave me a buzz to add to the one I already had from working temporarily at Denis Nielsen’s old desk – where he interviewed potential victims. I used the same little cafe he used every day. I always had a bacon sandwich with brown sauce and a takeaway tea. Apparently Nielsen ordered exactly the same every day and that was – Cheese and 🍅 on white bread sliced in two.
I asked the Turkish proprietor who had told me the serial killer was a regular daily customer of his, what he was like ? I remember his reply to the letter.” He seemed a very nice man, very polite, like you are “!
I suppose if I was in a war time situation and I was asked to select two men to share a bunker with, Great War or nuclear, I would have to plump for Holmes and Poirot, and if I couldn’t have the real fictional articles, Brett and Suchet would be admirable replacements to share their admirable well honed sharpnesses with a lookalike actor streetwise sheep as I am, who could act equally as well as them, and without the props of a pipe and waxen moustache – just a black mask and a black woollen beanie !

I only chose that photo as you mentioned a brolly
Very expensive chocky bar- you can get a pack of four Wispa, Crunchie and many more for a quid.
Wish they were more expensive, might not buy so many thenProbably selling cheaper chocolate in the half time interval at Eurovision..

The chocolate I bought was 💯 gms of Lindt Excellence dark ( Cranberry , Almond & Hazelnut. They are £2.20 in Tesco but with a clubcard, or proof you have had the vaccine its £1.50. I have just returned with one with zero incident. When I buy chocolate which is rarely, I prefer dark chocolate so this flavoured bar was dipped in new experience. It is a little bit chewy and not at all bad. Thank you for the tip Nathan and Tank I only buy pure chocolate with one exception. Ferrero Rocher – I last bought two large boxes ( 32 chocs) about six months ago from Morrisons – a fiver each, and never seen that price repeated.
A few personal questions Tank – is your father alive ? If so, how well do you get on with him ?- Total Posts 2553
Pure chocolate is great, as is anything with chocolate in it. I have a sweet tooth and a weak will, not a good combination for the waistline
