She looked like a dildo.

And, whilst you're giving others a hard time over their grasp of the English dictionary, one assumes you have a complete understanding of the exact meaning of the word "dildo".

Given the assumption that you wouldn't dream of referring to the kettle in any dark coloured way, perhaps one might enquire where you felt the lady in question should have her batteries inserted?


Apologies for being a pedant, but a dildo wouldn't contain batteries. If it had batteries it would be a vibrator.


I've learnt today that Big Ben is called St Stephen's Tower and the differences between a dildo and a vibrator, who says this Forum isn't educational LOL! Laughing

Where do you vote for the Lorraine Kelly's background during the main voing? Was it last year that we had (an empty) Old Compton Street?

I vote for Peckham as the backdrop this year. See how many people get shot in the time it takes Lorraine to read out the scores.

Wasn't it a West End backdrop last year? Confused with the Mamma Mia sign or something in the background

What has happened to all the videos on eurovision.tv? The quality of them seems very low!

Yes, it was Old Compton Street in the West End of London.

No mystery as to why that road was chosen!

Finally...
3. Monaco may "do a Lebanon" and pull out of this year's contest because of the death of Prince Rainier III.
From Oikotimes:
"Monaco: Ukrainian eurovision website spreads that Monaco withdraws
The official eurovision website of NTU eurovision.ua reports today that Monaco asked from EBU to withdraw from Eurovision Song Contest 2005. The reason is of course the death of the Monegasque Prince Rainier III the mourning of which will last two months, a period which covers Eurovision 2005. Therefore Monaco will not be able to broadcast Eurovision since it is an entertnaining show. Monaco also cancelled the Tennis tournament and football matches are re-scheduled.


2 months of mourning?!
If that's the case then they'll be cancelling the Grand Prix on 22nd May too

Thanks for bringing up Monaco because we learnt a few days ago that they will not be dropping out, however I don't know anything on the Grand Prix though I doubt they will cancel it.
