British things, British things... (to be sung a la Queen Victoria in Horrible Histories)

So, last night we watched the Olympic Flame arrive. Which was very neat and went very well and I felt kinda excited? It's sorta been on the horizon for so long that everyone's just got used to it, but it's getting close and yeah, I'm excited. Despite the weather. (Also Boris Johnson was funny. I might dislike his politics, but they asked him & David Beckham how everyone was seated in the plane - basically all the posher people up front - and Boris said: 'I was in seat 2B. Well - it was either that or not 2B'. *g*)

ETA: OK, so I went and found an icon...

ANYWAY, then I was listening to Radio 2 this morning and they played our Eurovision song (it's next weekend). It's Engelbert Humperdinck and... I like it? I mean, I think it's good. I can't remember the last time I thought that about one of our Eurovision songs. I'm fully expecting the End of the World any moment now:

I actually know words to our Eurovision entry and sing along with Engelbert whenever they play it on the radio - haven't been able to say that in many many years!

I hope he does well, and will be with CW in trying to combine writerconuk with Eurovision on Saturday night. We'll manage somehow, I'm sure. *g*

It'll be just like watching it with a laptop handy, refreshing your flist. Except live.
