Is Terry not doing it? :O Well, then there's no reason to watch the contest bits at all!

Incidentally, back on the Russia thing - Aeroflop are the only airline I've flown with where you get caviar as part of your standard airline meal!

Nope he gave up citing that political voting made it a farce, not sure how long it took him to come to that conclusion. ;)

I feel I can be pretentious enough to say I don't really like caviar.

Oh yeah my old man did Russian at Uni so he was over in Moscow back in late 60's early 70's, he said it was just a really surreal place!

He's not the 5th man after Burgess, MacLean, Philby & Blunt is he Rich?

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Its in Moscow so we are totally ****ed not that I actually give a toss I hate it! Dont even know why we bother anymore!

Totally agree Rich

It is a complete load of crap, nothing to do with music what so ever, the only minute entertainment value was listening to Wogan's sarky comments.

He's too young Harry! It was a strange experience a group of WHS girls being given caviar , most didn't try it - cue the "eeeeeewwwwww, yuk!" type reactions, I did - it was nice! :cool:

I guess so Kay.

Ordinarily I like any sea food (or freshater), but caviar has never really hit the spot. Although I was at British / Iranian Chamber of Commerce lunch a few months back and they served the usual canapes including some caviar which was excellent.

I'm well into my Russian history, just never heard of those guys!

I guess they would be more modern British history as opposed to Russian, although it will be interesting to see if more comes out of the old KGB archives. The Russians certainly seem to be issuing more from their perspective of "The Great Patriotic War".

 

[MK Shrimper]

Turkey seems to have been forgotten.

Battle of the Eurovision totty anyone :D

Amazed that dreary dirge from Jade and SALW managed 5th place!
