Eurovision
Astonishing! I am being taken to Bristol to see The Vines and will miss Eurovision! I am gutted!
Update: Colston Hall is an extraordinary venue for a rock concert. Quite apart from the fact that they announce each band over the loudspeaker in the traditional method of the theatre - "please take your seats as the band will be on stage in three minutes" - they also serve ice cream between acts, try to prevent smoking in the main hall and won't let you take drinks out of the bar area into the concert. It is the sort of place you can safely send your sons and daughters to watch some over-the-top, degenerate rock star perform. This is just as well as tonight's concert was full of school children. So, who won Eurovision?
