One of the great regrets of my life is not taking photos of an Airbnb I stayed in Rome in 2017. There was a lot to comment on, but the key feature was the lavender dining room with a framed poster of Anna Nicole Smith.

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

When I explained the plot of My Dinner with Andre, I, perhaps, should have taken greater care to note that the Andre in question was not Andre the Giant.

I love that Gráinne Mhaol is being honoured like this. But why is she still being referred to as “Grace” ? This is not an Anglicisation of her name. She was renamed to make her story more palatable to English ears. Can we honour her by saying her name? Gráinne.

Austria wins 69th Eurovision song contest with Wasted Love
Israel finished second, with Estonia third and the pre-contest favourites from Sweden fourth Austria has won the Eurovision song contest after JJ triumphed in Basel with their song Wasted Love, an operatic ballad with soaring vocals that mutates into a club anthem for the finale.

Switzerland, which hosted the first ever Eurovision song contest in 1956, was the venue this year after Nemo won in Malmö last year with their song The Code. Austria will be expected to host in 2026, with Vienna having twice held the competition before. Continue reading...
