cool, I got to hold a particle detector from the Large Hadron Collider! And ask a whole bunch of questions to a dark matter scientist, after discovering a bunch of stuff I didn't know about dark matter, such as: there's loads of dark matter here, it's not something that's only in far-away galaxies. Your pint of beer contains probably five dark matter particles.
After a day of doing a whole bunch of very boring housekeeping tasks I have just giggled myself almost sick making this, which I don't expect anyone else to find anywhere near as funny as I do but I am unworried! Cheered me up no end. I think I might go to the pub.
Gone through all the saved plastic boxes from Chinese takeaways for storing stuff and… paired them up with the correct lids and labelled them. I’m like the 2020s Marie Kondo.
Looking it up, the Austrian #Eurovision guy has that blue star over his eye the whole time, not just for this show. Interesting choice. Fair play to him. German proves itself to be a brilliant language to listen to but as unmusical as ever, I'm afraid. I would be very surprised if they retain the title #Eurovision
OK, the Norway entry is something. The guitars make it sound like the White Stripes (sort of) and the bloke's voice is not too bad (although he struggles a bit) and we dig the beardy bald guitar guy, but the singer looks such a pillock. The band get the points for looking like they're actually enjoying it, though #Eurovision
caught the beginning of Sweden (unexcited) and the end of Cyprus (Cypriot Shakira! I quite dig that). Italian guy has an excellent suit on. I wish I could get away with stuff like that but I'd look like I lost my way to a karate class from Lidl. Song is not too bad, but that's just because if someone read a software EULA in Italian it'd sound cool #Eurovision
can't think of anything much to say about Lithuania. Except... is that a tear of sheer emotion? or that the poor bloke is sweating to absolute death with all the silver paint on? #Eurovision
There's always someone who raises the question: should #Eurovision songs be songs that would just probably be fine in the charts? Poland, you have come through for us, thank you for that. This is unexceptional; it sounds like something you'd hear on the radio. It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but... shouldn't songs here play up to being here specifically? rather than just taking something you'd put out as a single and performing it here? I am never sure.
