Eurovision

Another year, another Eurovision. I make no apologies for enjoying this event, despite criticism from all quarters about how 'gay' it is. A couple of stand outs for me: Iceland had a great dance track that would not have been out of place in any club on a Saturday night; Latvia's pirates gave us a camp, fun number; a simple, catchy pop tune from Denmark; and the usual couple of truly bizarre entries... this time from Spain and Bosnia...

In fact the one track which didn't stand out was the eventual winner from Russia... as is so often the case! Ukraine in 2nd or Greece in 3rd would have been much worthier winners. But politics blah blah blah...!

We had a fun night watching it with a gang of mates round - though you didn't eat the food, you gits! A few pints out at Legends afterwards topped the night off nicely.

Blog fatigue

Well I missed blogging in April. The first month since I started that I haven't done it... I just don't seem to have a lot to say at the moment.

We did manage to go to the Bear Bash in Manchester again. I've been saddened by some people who've simply slagged off the event - in one case it was someone who didn't even attend! As someone who's organised these events in the past I know just how much hard work is involved in putting them together... so I say thank you and well done to Manbears.

The event itself was very busy and I'd say I enjoyed it, particularly being able to catch up with friends from other parts of the country that I rarely see. We went to the Saturday afternoon fair for the first time this year, and the naked oil wrestling was quite a sight - particularly with the copper-chopper buzzing overhead! Sunday's Birdcage entertainment was again excellent, though I'd have to ask: does anyone really care about bear beauty contests any more?

Otherwise life ticks on... work still sucks, though I've managed to have an interview (unsuccessful but good experience). Roll on July and our hols!
