All I can say is that I am glad that Crystal Palace won the FA Cup - Manchester City being punished for defeating Nottingham Forest!... -
Watched the whole lot - all 250 minutes of it! I was glad that Luxembourg made it to the final and was in second position in the show which meant not long to wait. I believe that we could have got over 100 points on jury points alone. No televotes? Come on! We did have a reasonable amount of points...Leave a comment:

I thought that Ipsos was the regulator of national newspapers - the acronym sounds rather similar...Leave a comment:

The Church often refers to it as Holy Saturday - I am certain that George Carey and other Archbishops have referred to that "in-between" day as that. One thing I associate that date with was the Queen Mother's death in 2002....Leave a comment:

Congratulations to Robert Francis Prevos on becoming the new Pontiff and the 267th Pope to become leader of the Catholic Church. He will be known as Pope Leo XIV, and he is 69 years of age (born in September 1955). He was born over 50 years after the death of the last Pope Leo (known as Leo XIII) in...Last edited by George 1978; 1 week ago.Leave a comment:

I will be so upset if Luxembourg doesn't get into the final this year - Laura is someone who I wouldn't mind falling in love with...
I also hope that there will be an English translation of that song as well....Leave a comment:

I was shopping in the main Tesco a couple of months ago and I heard on their radio, Tears for Fears' Everybody Wants to Rule the World which took me back to 1985 and travelling to open fields around a mile away on a Sunday afternoon back then and then coming back to get an ice cream or a small bottle...Leave a comment:

If you watch the very first episode from 1960, around 2:50 in at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00H0ycLk52I, you will find that Dennis Tanner was the first man to be seen in Coronation Street. His first line was: "where's what?"
There are now just only three living former cast...Leave a comment:

Just watched the the BBC One funeral coverage - what a great send-off for such a great pontiff. Bless him.Leave a comment:

I thought that I would bump up this thread when I found out today that McVitie's chocolate digestives have are celebrating their 100 years of production in 2025! No, the biscuits are not 100 years old, but the recipe for them certainly was successful to begin with. I don't think that they will get a...Leave a comment:

RIP Pope Francis
Pope Francis, the Pontiff and leader of the world's Catholics, has sadly died aged 88 at 7.35 am local time on Easter Monday. I am going to try and keep this brief and leave it like this.
I have to admit that although his health was failing, it was still such a shock that it happened... -
I know that the bombing was so soon after Nicholas Ingram's execution which is how I remember it - and of course, McVeigh got the same treatment as Ingram in 2001....Leave a comment:

RIP Clodagh Rodgers
There happens to be just four weeks to go before this year's Eurovision Song Contest but one has to say that it has not been a very good week for the British nostalgia market of the Contest. First of all, we have lost the great Colin Berry (his 1979 catchphrase: "Israel: 12 points!"), and...
