i didn't used to mind the eurovision contest - i think wogan killed it off for me. his whole attitude seemed to be - I know its crap, you know its crap, but if you're daft enough pay me that's enough to make me smile....insincerely.

did i ever tell you i went to An Evening with Brian Johnston at Newark theatre - expecting an evening of recollections about cricket?

However the Brian Johnston in question turned out to be the bloke who won the eurovision singing Singing High High High, Singing Lo Lo Low. His brother was Teddy Johnson who with Pearl Carr sang Sing Little Birdie! in the eurovision.
