Whilst talking about Kevin Bishop his producer quitting, Sir Terry said:

“He and I have to decide whether we want to do this again. Indeed, western european participants have to decide whether they want to take part from here on in.”

The situation has obviously struck a bad ethical note with him…
“I have to decide whether I want to do this again”

Eurovision hasn’t been quite the spectacle it once was for many years and to be honest Wogan has been making the best of a bad situation for many years now.
It won’t be the same without him!


12 points… do me a favor…

With our party’s scoring Finland won ;)

At just over half the depth of an mini-itx it’d hide perfectly almost anywhere if they could only sort the need for the huge 240v->12v brick and power adapter.

So after a quick google I found what I was looking for and as usual some more besides.

How many of these great alternate media versions exist?

One Two

Nothing new, I know but this one is cute, tiny (4.5”x4.5”) and also comes in pink.

spamcube.com

More to the point it comes with the option of 2 commercial AV scanners and ‘’proprietary built-in anti-spam technology” spam solution. The plug&go install looks like some promising port redirection usage too.

Spamcube

I wonder how long it’ll be before it gets a web filter like Dansguardian to check another checkbox on the soho list?
