Oh, god is it that time of year again already, have they taken Terry Wogan out of his cryogenic chamber and dusted him down for yet another highly entertaining ensemble of glittering talent. Why do they still insist running the damn thing anyway? no one watches it, except those detained at Her Majesty's pleasure, and a few learning disability patients, who are forced at gun point to provide the viewing figures for the BBC.
When are we going to stand up and say ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

If we all do bad impressions of Jewish people it will stop Eurovision?
I'm not to sure about this, but if we all try it together it may just work.

No unfortunately it's a genuine, bonafide, sad name!

I used to be, but since the operation and the electrolysis, I'm much better now, I just got to finnish the aversion therapy, and burn the bagpipes.

Sorry to disappoint you on this one, I'm probably not a good reflection of the name, no silicone implants, just a few months steady work for a surgeon with industrial liposuction gear!

Which one? no 1 had (I think) been dead two decades and no 2 for nearly one
I was abroad at the time in paradise - brilliant sunshine every day, nice blue sea and the beach 200 yards away. Duty free booze and everything else. Gignola Cinquetti blasting from every open window; I could never get enough of her. Absolute heaven - and I was getting paid for it.

You may have had a mother followed by a stepmother (or adoptive or foster mother), but I still pedantically maintain you can't have had two mothers. -- George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) "A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend upon the support of Paul."

OK, I'll get pedantic. You missed out two possibilities; the one which is incorrect in this case covers in vitro fertilisation followed by insertion into a woman from whom the egg didn't come.
In any case, I never heard any of the women sing except in church.

I've come to the conclusion that David must have been talking about his Reverend Mother as one of them. -- Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do. Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980)

No doubt there will be a crop of inane and wholly unnecessary comments about this unfortunate typo from some of more cerebrally challenged on here, but at least I won't be one of them.

Yes, it's awful when people draw attention to typos, isn't it? -- If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me. Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1884-1980)

Oh, Donald, you do put it so quaintly.Another one I hadn't thought of. OK JK, one who produced me, one who adopted me, one whom I adopted, the mother of my various kids (and perhaps the mother(s) of the kids I don't know about).
