Tonight, is the night, that Brian Kennedy[1] proves once and for all that Ireland will no longer win at Eurovision. He’ll sing whatever it is he is going to sing[2] and the judges will point and laugh and we will not make it through the semi-finals tonight.
Oh yes, this is the week of European competition. Last night was the Champions League. Sat. sees the rugby. But sport is nothing when compared to the music of The Eurovision Song Contest!
And soon, you Americans might be lucky enough to be able to watch this wonderous show[3] wherein countries send their most gifted talents into battle. Determined to prove once and for all who has mastery of the “european music verse.” Armed only with gaudy costumes and terrible songs we[4] will watch as they fight to the death[5]
The Eurovision is one of those shows that I’m always made aware its on, like The Rose of Tralee but never watch it, I prefer to laugh at it, and it possible should have been retired to pasture a long while ago. But, people enjoy it. They watch and listen and enjoy. Not I. No. Never.[6]

They are drilling for oil[1] out the back at work. Or round the side, depending on where I am. Direction is relative after all.
It is a little annoying, but don’t worry, I’ll struggle through somehow[2] I’ll cope. Don’t you worry about me.
Worry about poor old Arsenal instead[3]
But it was a very good game. The first 15 or so minutes especially, till That Incident where the ref applied to laws of the game, but not the spirit. Or sumfink like that[4] Sky News seemed to be blaming Theirry henry for missing some good goal chances this morning. But were they watching the same game.[5] Yes, he did have some chances, but he ran his little socks off[6] and looked wrecked. The fact is that with only 10 men there was very little chance that Arsenal could win against Barcelona. And once they equalised there was no real hope. Had it gone to extra time the Arsenal players would’ve been dropping like flies.
Oh yeah, you may be able to access that Gift Grub Munster Song here on Putfile
Oh and over at The Community At Large there is a link to a Monster Irish culture quiz, Monster being the name of a job search site, it isn’t a quiz about Monster culture in Ireland. Though maybe that’d be better. This is well, I’ll let you find out for yourselves. If you want.
Linknotes:
- they are making a big hole in the ground, what else could it be but oil ↩
- Isn’t it typical that now that I’ve moaned they’ve gone and stopped. Probly just for a teabreak though. I’m sure they’ll be back ↩
- - They just lost the Champions’ League final 2-1 after their goalie got sent off ↩
- look, Arsenal are from London, so I can use any fake accent I choose, alright? ↩
- Yeah, we actually watched the entire match. Normally its a case of flicking back and forth, but Wed night telly is bit shite so we watched it all ↩
- to be as patronising as possible ↩
