Matthew's Journal

As noted elsewhere, the TOGMeister is no longer going to host Auntie's coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest. juggzy decided that the internet at large should choose his replacement. I'm hosting the semi-finals of the selection process, so her entirely fiends-list doesn't leave in disgust ;-)

The quarterfinals are in these three posts, complete with youtube links, in case you've forgotten what any of these people look like. I've instead opted for a pointless fact about each culled carefully from Wikipedia.

This is a public post, so feel free to point any interested parties who agree with me in this direction.

Your choices in semi-final 1 are Stephen Fry (Rector of the University of Dundee 1992-1998) or Sue Perkins (Footlights President 1990-1991). In semi-final 2, you have Bill Bailey (named his son after a Star Trek character) and Eddie Izzard (one of the first people to spend a Euro in London).

[Poll #1243767]

Stay tuned to juggzy for the grand final!

This food meme is vaguely entertaining (despite being a little US-centric in places). The author considers these to be things every omnivore should have tried at least once. The idea is to bold ones you've eaten, and strike-through those you'd not consider eating.

( the list )So I've had 51 of the listed items. It seems rather selective in the choice of cuisines represented, to say the least!
