Eurovision song contest

Now we are in the process of coming out of the EU, do you think we will not be allowed into the EUrovision song contest anymore.
I wonder if they will let us win it this year to keep us in the gang.

Years of more crap and bearded ladies singing then or were they men?

'Esc' isn't just the top left-hand button on your computer keyboard, ... it's also the shortened form of escape! Escape this evening's BBC4 live coverage featuring 18 acts, hopeful of competing for 10 slots - in the run~up to Saturday's final from Kiev.

Concentrate instead, on tuning into the same channel a couple of hours later, from ten till eleven o'clock ... to watch performances from the Swedish foursome, Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson & Anni-Frid Lyngstad - better~known as Abba - who shot to instant stardom after winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest in the UK with "Waterloo" and, I must confess, has since remained my all-time favourite pop group.

... doesn't even need to be part of continental Europe either, t'would seem; as in the case of Israel, which - despite being bordered by the Mediterranean - is, geographically, an Asian country.

Having said that, of course ... ... most of its population ARE, in fact, understood to be of European descent.
