Thanks so much for that session, it was really inspiring, and SO useful to learn the practical tip about developing a legal interest in a place, that can be used to take matters to court, by demonstrating that one's been caring for it for years.

The passing of Tom Lehrer particularly caught my attention because I learnt of TL from my grandpa Joe, who adored a good darkly witty pun. I still have his 10" vinyl albums. If you're unfamiliar, I encourage you to download them for free: tomlehrersongs.com/albums/

Not only weight based parking charges (and whatever VED morphs into), but also weight based SPEEDING fines please.

Doing 23mph in 20 zone in a heavy SUV has more potential to cause serious harm than in a lighter car, so represents more reckless driving behaviour by the driver - hence higher fine.

So, in summary the #DoctorWho #Eurovision episode appears to be saying the protesters are baddies, but only because their entire planet was destroyed in a genocide by the sponsors of the contest... have I got that right, BBC balance? πŸ˜‚

Kinda heartbreaking to see JJ clearly asking for water, twice, before getting up on the stage for his reprise. The crew sorting his security (and startling him with a mic & earpiece arrangement he clearly wasn't happy with) was kinda inhumane at that point. Disappointing @ebu.ch #Eurovision

These jury votes are so far removed from the final result though (aren't they? ...anything feels possible now)

Wow, if the juries still did it all this would be a very different evening.

The recaps serve to remind me Norway was cute and really quite Eurovision-y; Luxembourg was thoroughly excellent, just (just) the right side of slick & professional, i.e. not too much; and Estonia catchy enough to be better than it ought to be.

It's quite hard to research but I think it's not always true, but pretty uncannily good nonetheless

Have you read the factoid that the country Ukraine gives douze points to has always won!? I've just seen this and need a bad song during which I can research it!

An important moment when Denmark switch from unflattering blue to teenage-gamer-bedroom lighting colours. #Eurovision

It's not so much about the single shot per se, but the focus pulling in that lighting is hardcore for the camera crew. And they may have overstretched just a tad.

It's a lovely song though.

And who knew we'd ever get a sequel to Voyage Voyage?

Wait, is there any chance that Michelle Hunziker is being played by Eddie Redmayne?

Speaking as someone of a certain age (same as Poland's singer) I feel I can say this is kinda like a Cher gig.
