I'd just like to express my gratitude to everyone here for not talking about the Eurovision Song Contest.
It's a testament to how great you all are here that this didn't rear it's ugly head, not even in The Meeting Place.
Thank you, one and all.

Apparently it is on soon. I have heard that Norway TV do not want to win it. May be they will be entering Father Dougal singing "My Little Pony" or have Ireland gone with that again? Apparently it cost $30 million to host so they had to sell the World Cup TV rights to pay for it. Other than that I have no idea. I thought I would watch the LOTR trilogy in one night but it is longer than I thought.

I wouldn't worry about that, Channel 4 will be showing it again in a few weeks.

Really? I haven't seen LOTR for ages - and I still don't have the DVDs. _________________

Yeah, they seem to show them about once every couple of months. Easy way to fill whopping great chunks of airtime I suspect. Although apparently Big Brother is starting again soon so that basically takes care of their schedule for a while.

I thought they stopped making Big Brother now?  Looking forward to LOTR though.  _________________

As the years go on I'm beginning to wonder whether the film version of LOTR, rather than being a monumental classic worthy of mulitple oscars, was in fact just simply a load of old toss with an overracting gollum, some smug elves and a constipated hobbit. In fact with the exception of Gandalf's voice, I think everything else just irritates me now. The scenes with just music and New Zealand scenery are of course always watchable, but then there are much better David Attenborough documentaries for this sort of entertainment.

I've done that a couple of times. The extended edition is something like 11 1/2 hours long. We have a "one pizza per film" rule. You just ruined it.

Well longer than I thought. I stopped at the end of film one. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Just what I was thinking. A mate has just told me about this though - forward to about 1:09 He also told me the UK entry came dead last.

I heard, that we won. Thankfully, I still haven' heard it - which my girlfriend can't understand.
She is sick of it, but I listen to podcasts or talk radio.

Pete Waterman has clearly lost his knack at picking hits. Well I wonder if the voting was we must not win vote tactically so that the richest country can pay. _________________Do concentrate, 007...
