Tuesday, May 27, 2003 Yes, as Lucie correctly pointed out, Sunday night saw the 2003 EuroVision Song Contest! And what a good one it was!! Miss Turkey took the honour, just scraping in. Her version of "Kiss Kiss" really was much better than Holly Valance's. That's ripped from a Turkish song, ya know? We had a EuroVision Song Contest Party in the TV Room here at Fenner. There were many people there and among them people from Germany, the Netherlands and France. I really liked Estonia's entry (Eighties Coming Back), and I thought Israel's was really funny with the 5 women chasing the guy that was really static and robotic... Mr Cyprus, or Billy Ray Cyprus as the commentator pointed out was LAME!!! Luke, that wasn't directed to you... Was funny when the Netherlands gave points to Germany, and the German guy and gal in the crowd here were all "YEAH!!!!!". Then when Germany was giving their points, they said they had some for their "neighbours and friends". The Dutch guy in the crowd was all "WOOHOO!", but alas, it was to a different neighbour and friend. Very very very funny. Many people laughed at the poor expense of the Dutch. Also funny was hearing the two girls from France bag the Belgian reporter's "French" with her strong accent when she was reading out the points... sooo cool. Pfeffernüsse, Tim Tams and pizzas were devoured... And what was with Miss Greece and her bondage/leather gear? She had really big.... lungs. Equally, Miss Croatia must've thought she was in Miss Universe when she performed her song in the Swimsuit section. Malta was probably Evening Gown... What else... Spent today (Tues) at Parliament House where I sat in on the Budget Estimates for the Prime Minister and the Cabinet's section. Was very interesting. The term "heated" is a little too light.. And what's with all the pay parking at shopping centres in Canberra? Nothing like the good ol' burbs of Melbourne-town... Enjoy Buffy. I did.posted by AJ | 5:26 PM | | ||
