I forgot to add this is the first year I have watched it for many years and overall I thought it was a load of rubbish.

I understand you can apply to participate in the competition and you pay an entry fee! Australia were invited for a reason that I cannot remember. Last year the BBC staged the competition in Liverpool on behalf of the Ukraine who were otherwise engaged, apparently it cost between 14 and 18 million p...

Hello, I am being bothered by a bluebottle..Went to a bon sonte at my mates church and had a sausage bap and a cup of coffee contributing twenty quid to church funds. Been a busy day. Sigh..

I would like the Israeli girl to do well just to pi$$ off the professional protesters squatting outside. Same protestors would be off like a shot if they thought a better cause would get them more publicity.

In my seagoing days I saw the aurora australis in the late fifties early sixties when I was crossing the Great Australia Bight. Happy Days..

The weather guessers here in the UK are saying the visibility should be good to see the aurora tonight if we get any but on the Humber it looks as if we are getting bit of fog. It is HW at 2100 so it may clear up after that!!

Before we went to bed last night at 2300 we had a look for the Aurora but nothing to be seen.Thiis morning the local paper and t'internet was full of the best aurora pictures seen in living memory all starting at mid night. Mrs 1DC and I were well away by then. Amazing colours though reds, yellows a...

In the Russian bus crash, the drivers wife says he worked 20 hours the day before and was then forced to work the morning shift the next day! He survived and was arrested.

Friends daughter was number two in a fairly large admin department in the local council, her boss was retiring and she was getting promoted to head of department. Two months before it happened the council employed a fancy organisation to reorganise the council departments. Her department was reorgan...

Well won't things improve when protocol changes after megsit becomes de new Queen of Nigeria?

Yesterday I don't think there was even a ripple on the Humber,you would hardly have detected even a gentle zephyr on your cheek bone and the temperature reached 19C and we finished most of the outside stuff and sat outside with a glass of champagne to celebrate! Today it is as dull as dishwater and ...

A nice day on the Humber got up to 18C and we got well into the pressure washing of the front slabs, tomorrow is forecast to be similar so I expect we will get it finished.The trouble is it makes you tired and gives you a good excuse to go to bed early, unfortunately for the first time for some year...

Been a busy day today, trip to garage with Mrs 1DC's car cos a notice kept flashing up on the navigation screen saying enter password to synchronise then refusing to accept password. Lexus man says if password isn't used within three month it automatically cancels, how stupid is that! Job sorted . C...

Thankyou for talking about boobs, Mrs 1DC was supposed to ring up and organise her inspection about a month ago. She has clearly forgotten. I will go and remind her!

A few years ago I asked a student nephew why he was wearing a keffiyeh and he had no idea what I was talking about, when I explained it was the A rab scarf he had wrapped around his neck he said he wore it to be "in" and the girls liked it. Unfortunately he is no longer with us and doesn't have any ...

Ze Olympic effect OFSO..

Been away for a few days so catching up best wishes to all those who need it. Mrs 1DC and I went to Gallipoli two years ago, not only was it a privilege to go there but we were very impressed with the amount of money that's been spent on the place and how well it is looked after. It is considered to...

Those stones look as if they need a coat of paint Ricardian!

Mrs 1DC took her driving test in Hull and the car broke down she was rescheduled the next day in Hessle, a village just down the road, she had never been there before but passed. She didn't have to worry about traffic lights because they didn't have any.
