I was listening to New Jersey whilst bike fettling today. Love that album.

Anyway, France. Meh.

The French really aren't trying. I'm sure this was some 1970s b-side they've recycled.

This is the one night of the year this forum needs an autorefresh function, like a chat app. Not had any out and out bonkers performance yet, like the horse on the stepladders last year. Disappointing. I was distracted during Sue whatsherface, what exactly happened to get  Woganlite into such a flap?

He's not playing the guitar, the only live performance is the vocal. And yes, I have read the rules.

Some douche invaded the stage and grabbed her microphone off her. She did really well to keep it together and carry on her performance when they gave her another mic.

Design brief: collect five of the butchest guys you can find, and make them as camp as possible.

Not actually a bad song, mind.

I was hoping to be kept in the picture from here but now I’m watching some Scandi crime thingy with subtitles so no such luck.

Enjoy!

Just been listening on the radio on the way home from work - it's really not the same, although Ken Bruce is almost as good as Terry in his pomp.

Big fan but amazing how appalling it all sounds when you can't see the action. It's like Belgian radio, but worse.

Any butter churning moments worth catching up on t'iPlayer?

I quite liked ours.
