Debuting? WTF language is that? Sounds very painful, like something out of Python's University of Wallamaloo.

In the global music scene, the contest does not matter one jot. Its merely a trivial side show at a huge circus. The popular music scene is entirely dominated by US and UK performers, management, media etc. £££££ $$$$$ Yes, there are individual performers, groups etc from other countries who are successful globally, but they represent a tiny proportion of the market. The ESC is a chance for no hopers to take the stage one day out of 365. Only one group from one country has ever gone on to greater things, and that only because they pointed out that "Napoleon did surrender." The ESC is , though, great entertainment, something for everyone in there somewhere. To shed the Millwall shoulder chip, we need to be much more innovative. How about if for once we deliberately set out to lose rather than win? Maybe a Florence Foster Jenkins tribute, for example? Or a Tiny Tim sound-alike? Or John Redwood singing the Welsh national anthem?

What an experience! https://uk.news.yahoo.com/veteran-survived-leap-burning-plane-101934577.html

Mablethorpe, Sutton on Sea and Skegness beaches have retained the award for water quality, facilities, beach safety, environmental education and management. That doesn't entitle you to come here, though. Stay away!

...but my rant that trumps all my other rants combined is..... ...the Covid elbow touch. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT.

STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT. Its stupid, pointless, nonsensical, looks daft AND CAUSES A HUGE SPIKE IN BLOOD PRESSURE!!!!!!!!!!

What a rubbish day. Wigan lost, City lost, Salford lost, I lost at Scrabble and it's raining.

Good grief! HS2 coming through!

LoD is fiction. so, its a bit far -fetched in places, but then so is Macbeth, the Bible, Star Wars and Inside No. 9 . The Craig Parkinson "Obsessed " podcasts have been great entertainment in my opinion.

Indeed, I thought it was a bit disappointing, too. All too neat and tidy... But I bet it is not really the last we've heard from AC12.

The road suface dressing team have left the "no parking" sign on our lamppost for over a fortnight.

WTF!!!!!

Yes, they did indeed deserve to win, no argument. This is a new, different and improved Chelsea. Guardiola makes 8 changes, expects team still to perform, and rejects any criticism that his team selection was in any way to blame. In any case, the talk of a quadruple didn't come from him. Its almost as if he was saying, " All four trophies? I'll show you why not!"

I'm with you m Padge..... there is now a whole generation (or two) of yoof who know nothing of REAL R and B and don't know what they are missing.

Donna Summer: State of Independence ELP: Fanfare for the Common Man

And then its the BAFTAs. Jeez.. A bunch of no mark luvvies in an orgy of self congratulation. All good films, I'm sure, but good grief, this adulation is a real emetic. Most of the films are not even released yet.

WTF is up with people? Just on TV now. Pubs opened at midnight and full of people. Just bloody contain yourselves, ya morons!!!

Meanwhile, in Louth, Part of Eastgate has been closed to traffic and pedestrians this afternoon (Thursday) due to the “risk of masonry falling from the building”, according to Lincolnshire County Council.

The signs are out warning drivers that our lane is closed on 31st. March for one day.

Still listening big time to Radio 3 and in particular the various night mixes from Sarah Mohn-Pietsch, Hannah Pee etc.

Someone else's rant, but one I share. https://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/six-words-people-mispronounce-that-make-you-want-to-punch-them-20210226205694

understood.

There are now temporary traffic lights on the A1111 as work starts as part of the preparation for the Denmark England Viking Link interconnector.

Not in our house it ain't. Should have spent our money on free licences for those over 74 and 9 months old.

I HATE homespun philosophy

Where to start and how many rants in one post? That is the question. 1. Golden Globs and other award ceremonies. Jeez, is there no escape from this tripe. I get that some stars are really good - Alec Guinness is a prim example for me. The rest of them are just playing themselves. I get that, just as I get the enjoyment that we can (all?) get from their work. But PLEEEZE, can we have an end to the sight of these people masturbating en masse in public because they've been awarded a gold-plated plastic statue? 2. Trout-pouting. How bizarre, and stupid do these people look? 3. The Crown. Shirley, no one really watches this stuff do they. Please tell me that no one on here watches it. 4. The endless saturation coverage of working-from-home. What about the 60% or more of the workforce who can't do that?
