Nah. All those categories need to care about the economy. Landlords won’t receive rent if people don’t work. A lot of investors’ investments will fall if the economy slows/fails. Pensioners need to very much give a shit because today’s workers’ NI payments fund their pensions.

Big love to my fam for sorting me a ticket, I felt like one of the kids from Willy Wonka’s competition. No, you may not speculate which.

so apart from when it was announced who scored douze points, we had no clue who was awarded what.
The arena audience was overwhelmingly for Finland, as you may have picked up by the chanting.

There were some advantages to watching it on TV, though. Some of the info was lost; for example, we could see Mel doing the Polish milkmaid thing, but had no idea it was her, or that she was even present. And scoring was a bit underwhelming because it didn’t show up well on the screens,

Speaking of props, we were all give a wrist band to wear that was programmed to flash different coloured lights at various points, which would have shown up on TV as the bright spots in the audience.

when the whole arena just kicked off; everybody was up and dancing. The staging was as slick as you’d expect, considering they only had a minute or two to swap acts. The presenters waffling with the acts/audience happened during the change of sets that needed additional props and was also seamless.

I didn’t see any hint of aggro anywhere and all the staff (who must have been on their knees by that point) were unfailingly cheerful, friendly and polite, even the wifi guy that I accosted in error. As you’d expect, the atmosphere was amazing, especially during popular acts like Finland

I was freezing and bored shitless and spent most of the time thinking about how I could have been on a sofa seeing way more on the TV, whilst not being cold. Thankfully, Eurovision was not like that at all. The sun was shining and everybody there was out for a good time, and it really showed.

This was my review (spread over several comments because word limit:
Once upon a time I went to a MotoGP on Phillip island in Australia. The weather was crap, all I got to see/hear of the bikes was a brief blur and a loud noise as they whizzed past,

I went to the final in Liverpool! I was visiting the fam one weekend and my sister said to me casually “Oh, do you want to come to Eurovision? I got you a ticket.”
“What, to a party or something?”
“No, Eurovision.”
“One of the semis?”
“No. The final.”
“WTAF? How??”
“Went online. Bought them.”

Coconut collaborative now do a double ‘cream’ that can almost pass, with the addition of a little sugar, and holds its shape pretty well when whipped up.

No. Good panettone is amazing. Cheap panettone is dry and crap.

Ah, your body is forcing you to be healthy against your better nature. I think you may be a more highly-evolved being.

Have you seen the lactase replacement tablets that are around nowadays? I had a cheese plate for dinner last night and no reaction 😍 I’m only intolerant, not allergic, though.

If you ever have the chance, visit Paternoster Farm (see Insta) in Pembrokeshire and try Michelle’s GF focaccia. I doubt you’ll be able to tell the difference.

I assume you watch Only Connect? It’s like the wall: www.nytimes.com/games/connec...

You take them with your first bite of food containing dairy. The tub says you can take up to 6 per day. I took 2 and then had a plate of cheese and crackers and didn’t itch, my eyelids didn’t swell up and I didn’t fart like a drayhorse 😄

Yes! Called Milkaid, from Boots etc. They contain the enzyme we’re lacking.

Ditto, but I recently tried lactase tablets successfully and now I have cheeseboard based plans for Christmas 😀

Very much what Heppy said, especially if a precedent is set.

Nope. Boxing Day classic is turkey, stuffing, redcurrant jelly and mayo on an oven bottom muffin.
