I Am A Swede

Australia's entry in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, and one of the very few entries that doesn't make your ears bleed.....

I've been thinking the exact same thing. It's been my gut feeling since the start of this story that Aaron will somehow be turned into a hero and "save" Sebastian when Rebecca does something. I'm hoping that I will be wrong though.

^^ It doesn't matter how many times I watch that, it still gets to me. Charlotte is absolutely phenomenal there.

Why is it that people are so extremely rude and hostile to each other when commenting on Youtube? And it doesn't even have to be a particularly controversial subject. Someone can make a list of favourite Broadway stars for instance, and sure enough comments start flying about why this person or that person has been left out or why person X is placed above person Y, and how f**king stupid the person who made the list is, how he/she is a c*nt or an a**hole or too ugly to live etc How can you write things like that to a perfect stranger simply because you disagree with their opinion on something? Can someone please enlighten me, because I have no idea. Why not simply move on and not watch the video? People seem to take it as a personal insult when someone disagrees with them, and their response is to be even more insulting and rude. It's baffling.

It's astonishing how easy it is for people to lie nowadays, about practically everything, or so it seems anyway. I'm not gonna be a hypocrite and say that I've never done it, but it's been more along the lines of "my dog ate my homework".....

Memories.....

Not a song, but after the sad news that Emma Chambers has passed away much too soon I felt a need to revisit this.....

Better late than never I guess.... Maybe this time is the first that these companies have been subjected to pressure from the public for their association with the NRA?

The "new" Upstairs, Downstairs was horrible in my opinion. Not even Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh could save that travesty. To be perfectly honest I didn't even think Jean was all that good in it. But I admit that I'm biased since the original is my favourite tv-show of all time.

Only one episode? Oh you poor thing, you have no idea what's coming....

Is it wrong that I'm loving every second of watching Debbie in pain over what her rash actions have done? Even if it is I don't care, it's the most fun I've had watching this show for years.

You're most likely right, and it is so sickening.
