When I was a young man

in the 80's, on a particular Saturday in April or May I would purchse some bottles of Mackeson's Stout, sit in front of the television and participate in the ritual and joy that is the Eurovision Song Contest. As this event takes place this Saturday, this week we have a tenouosly themed set of tales.

For example, you need songs for a song contest, so I offer three Songs In The Key of MMMPPHHHH for your entertainment.

Of course, the United Kingdom have won the contest several times, first with Sandie Shaw singing a song called Puppet On A String - so I've written a story with that title.

It also used to seem to last from Saturday Night and Sunday Morning - and could be as painful as these women find a visit by The Parker Girls.

Finally, people like to share their experiences of the show, especially in a tale from last year called Eurovision Nightmare.

What passes for sanity here will return Thursday next week, but until then, I say Ding Ding A Dong to one and all.
