NORMAL LIFE: Belgrade Calling!

Tonight will see the broadcast of the first of two shows comprising the semi-finals of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, live from Belgrade, Serbia. I'm still stunned that the overweight lesbian being groped by lots of hot blonde ladies won in Serbia last year, but I guess that is old news.

Looking forward, that means that there will be three shows dedicated to this year ESC: tonight, Thursday and Saturday. I don't know if this is to keep the audiences locked into the channels that will broadcast this throughout Europe, maximising on the revenue to be made from the telephone voting or if the chosen venue just didn't have the capacity to accommodate all 43 participating countries in a single semi-final.

My personal fave is Iceland (see video here) and, for the record, the UK entry is NOT that bad this year so anything above 25 points would be nice, citizens of Europe. In other words: get over it [the Iraqi conflict]!

Good luck, Iceland, you're fantastic and you're gorgeous!
