Making Our Minds Up

Whilst the CTFC presentation evening was unfolding, Europe was embracing its geographical politics and getting nasty. Don't you just love the Eurovision Song Contest?

In case you haven't caught the latest entertainment news, the United Kingdom had four teeny-boppers dressed up as airline staff - Scooch - literally "flying the flag" (that was the name of their song). If you're fiercely patriotic and were hoping for a Union Jack-clad victory, then you were to be disappointed. The UK came second-from-bottom.

However, it could have been a lot worse. May I rewind you back to Eurovision 1983 - the disputed 'heydays' of the competition - and Spain's entry that, unsurprisingly (you'll see why), didn't fair so well. Questions to ask yourself whilst you watch it: Who or what does she keep pointing at? Who told her she could sing? Where was Julio Iglesias when Spain needed him? Enjoy, if you can....
