The Eurovision Song Contest
Eurovision song contest, I am forced to watched it because B has taken over control of the TV. Gosh it is shit!. There is nowhere else to sit and read a book apart from in the lounge; reading requires concentration and having the Eurovision blaring in your ear is not conducive to reading. Anyway, this is entertainment to which I have become accustomed. It has always been trashy and competitive and I always end up supporting one act. The German Act was not too bad, they were rather rocky, gutsy and vibrant. There must have been a dozen entries with the lingua franca chorus of "la la la laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la laaa..." The Greeks won the prize with the usual pappy entry, complete crap. Not only that, the Greeks voted 10 for the Albanian entry!. Did not vote anything for Turkey even though Turkey gave them mucho points.
The declaration of points was ruined by B switching channels to Celebrity Love Island, now this is televisual shit par trashiness, the programme consisted of watching non-entities who have become celebrities for one reason or another babbling about their lives. I think that the objective of the show is for someone to end up in bed with someone else, apparently there is prize money. Sandi Toskvig on her LBC radio show, on Friday, pointed out that this was prostitution because people would be actually selling sex for (prize) money! How trashy can you get?
