World of Chig   

4.3.05



My friend Bryan has a reputation amongst those of us on the 'eurovision general' list at Yahoo! Groups, for liking, shall we say, the camper songs. He has frequently bemoaned the absence of sequins and glitter in recent national finals. Last week he was given one of the group's honorary awards for his 'one man campaign against rap'. But many people on the list have never seen Bryan, until now. Just after posting this, I'm going to send this link to the group, so that everyone can see Bryan admiring this sequinned clutch bag. (It's not actually his.) There is a serious point to this too. Anyone who's joining us at BBC TV Centre on Saturday for Making Your Mind Up will now be able to recognise him. We look forward to it!

...And we'll try not to be too pissed off that Jordan is clearly going to walk it, barring - oh please let it happen - a total Jemini fiasco. No, scrap that, she'll win, even if that happens. People will think it's funny to send an 8 month pregnant non-singer to Kyiv. God help us. Only the housewives can save us now. Vote Tricolore! The other three, sadly for Javine, don't stand a chance, unless Blue fans (and Wales) come together for Andy Scott-Lee, but otherwise I think he'll be vying for last place with Gina G.

So, here's Chig's pointless prediction:

1st Katie Price
2nd Tricolore
3rd Javine
4th Andy Scott-Lee
5th Gina G

Chig is off now to hide in a cottage in Shropshire from Friday to Monday with 16 friends, only taking a break to go to London on Saturday. If you're having lunch in Putney on Saturday lunchtime, or you're at TV Centre in the evening, at the Shadow Lounge in Soho later and (probably) at G-A-Y even later, I may see you. If you're Ruslana, I will definitely see you (for the interview on Saturday afternoon). Please do say hello!
