My middle one is getting excited because we're getting into Eurovision season.... The countries are starting to run their individual compitions to find an entrant and the the BBC are trying their best not to let slip that a 3 piece country girl group that appeared on The Voice in 2019 will be representing the UK before the official announcement sometime in march.

Ireland have gone full blown europop this year after the horror show of last years Bambi Thug..... With a song about sending a dog into space...... "Laika Party"..... Nice wordplay there.

The Maltese entry is called "Kant"... which is Maltese for "Singing" but they sing it with an unfortunate pronounciation.... so we will see how it fares with the censorship of the BBC. Considoring the majority of the song is in English.... They cant just sing the title in Maltese

Sweden are already the bookies favourite to win..... but havent decided on their entry yet. Go figure.

Awesome will stick a fiver on the kant then lol

Wow, blindfolded on eardrums blocked
What more can a person get not to whack the TV when it's on.

Well, on call today. Currently sat in a garden center cafe bored stiff while the wife stuffs her face. She's already dragged me kicking and screaming around the plants. I would rather be in work!

Good excuse to clean out the Greenhouse.

So far today I've driven from s.Wales to Kent to take oil samples from 5 transformers, 3 generator txs and 2 auxiliary txs. Got 2 sampled but had to leave the 400kV yard as the site was coming online. So, waiting for the site to sync and then back in to do the other 3. Should be fairly early to my hotel for tonight and then off to another site tomorrow for 6 more samples. Once they are done it's a drive back home. Sometime life is soooo difficult

Man appears in court charged with woman's murder in Chirnside

Megan Hughes was found dead at a property in Chirnside during the early hours of Sunday.

www.bbc.co.uk

Just up the road from me. Police asked if I had any cctv footage of the night, but it only points at the vehicles, not the public path…. And would have just been in black and white at that time of the morning.

Suffice to say, the rumours are rife about this.

It's 9.35 and I've already finished today's job. I'm sat in Meadowhall car park in Sheffield going to waste some time. All that's left for me to do today is drive to Runcorn to my hotel but can't check in until 3pm and it's only 1 1/2 hours away.

Sounds like you need to cary a fishing rod with you, must be some lakes local.

Moley · Feb 19, 2025

A fishing rod? Hmmmmm....well the wife does tell me I need to sling my hook. I hope she's talking about fishing.

Moley · Mar 1, 2025

We're down at our chalet in Somerset. The sun is out, the sky is blue and just thinking of treating the wife and son to a high class meal. Wetherspoons or Brewers Fare. I live life right on the cutting edge!!!!

You'll never guess what. Got ran into today.

Bloke came from nowhere and ran into me.

Luckily was about 17mhp tops so no airbags deployed or broken bones this time.

Rang cops as he was dead aggressive and was trying to blame me. They saw right through him at the scene but got footage of it now and possibly going to arrest him.

Was it the boss of that other forum??

Anyway.. glad you”re ok this time.

Maybe you should drive a bulldozer from now on?

Moley · Mar 1, 2025

“What The Hell Just Happened”

No, not a cry for help, but a follow on from my Eurovision post #1981…. Which coincidently was the year Buck’s Fizz won for the Uk.

That above, is the title of the Uk song this year, from girl group Remember Monday…. I’ve heard about 3 seconds of it, but it’s being played in full tomorrow morning at 8am on radio 2, so I’ll delay judgement until then.

Other euro news, the Maltese “Kant” song has been asked to change the title and lyrics because of its similarity to a big sweary word.
Apparently, the BBC are getting the blame, but really it’s OFCOMs rules. The same BBC that didn’t mind Olly Alexander last year grinding around in a male communal shower room set.

Just pronounce it a different way…. Like William Shatner shouting “KHAAAAAAN” in Star Trek II

Belgiums Red Sebastian… who is a guy called Sebastian, and wears a lot of red… His song “Strobelight” will probably come with an onscreen epilepsy warning because of the flashing lights…

Australia…. Where did it all go wrong? Keep sending stuff like “Milkshake Man” and you’ll end up getting kicked out. You’re not in Europe anyway.
Sounds a bit like that Badger, Badger, Badger, Mushroom video that was really popular about 20 years ago… and the video reminds me of “Relax” by FGTH…. Which was also banned by the BBC.

Austria is trying an operatic style, clearly copying last years winner Nemo. Hitting notes only dogs can hear.

Favourites include Finnish “Ich Komme” (I’m coming)…. The Irish Norwegian Emmy, singing about a Russian canine and whoever Sweden puts forward from their national selection process which could be Mans Zermelow who won 10 years ago or Dolly Style, who have previously entered the selection process 4 times in 10 years with 9 different members

Finally, Slovenia are sending a song called “How Much Time Do We Have Left”…. And looking at geopolitics at the moment, we might not make it to May 17th if WWIII breaks out.

They're bang on with that title.

Trump being more dictatorish than even bloody putin right now.

Quick move to NZ. The least likely to suffer if everyone hits the N buttons.

We’ve got relatives in NZ, so that might not be a bad shout.

Did you also hear on the news that South Korea accidentally dropped a few bombs on their own country….. about 25miles from Seoul… where my daughter is!.

I’ve just read that it was a joint manoeuvres with the US military…. I’m not wanting to put 2 and 2 together but…….

OMG no I didn't!! Christ the bombs we have zooming around gaza and Ukraine are more than enough for this year already!
