1,000 posts Catwoman! Congrats!
But about the Eurovision Song Contest. For me it's always been about watching something I thought would be good and then at the end wondering why I had. There was a time when I would watch it each year in the hope that it would get better - I never took on board it wouldn't. Afraid it ambles past now without much attention here in the UK, banished to the edge of BBC3 on TV. Abba were to my mind the only memorable event in all the years it's been on, and I remember the days when Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson sang for the UK!
