Deal Or No Deal is beautiful in its simplicity, though I confess I can't watch it as I've never liked Noel Edmonds. Big Brother is sometimes good, sometimes crap, depending on the mix of people - but that's just personal taste. Again, a lesson in simple formats being durable. I can't imagine Eurovision in the fifties - it seems like another world to those of us not there (I was born early sixties), but then I guess the world of my youth is an alien planet to my stepkids and their chums. Like using the word chums...

Forgot - the Fruit Eating Bears! St Albans' finest, and I think they had links to Phil Smee, the doyen of Bam Caruso and Strange Things Are Happening, and sleeve and sleeve note designer extraordinary, the king of psych and prog compilations and anthologies. A man with a very distinctive style - a little like the elsewhere mentioned Keef (see what I did there? Two threads, one post - you could pay good money for this, etc...)

I vividly remember seeing live Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson singing 'Sing Little Birdie' when I was 11 in 1959. It was indeed another world! m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Etl1zYvNSE

I have always enjoyed the Eurovision Song Contest from the 1950s onward. But I enjoy Big Brother and Deal or No Deal, too. BTW, Thomas Ligotti Online is better than the BFS forum. I don't think Thomas Ligotti Online would take much to be considerably better than the BFS forum these days. I'm almost about ready to give up on it.

We can be like the BFS if you like. It's a tempting proposition, but they're not really a horror specific forum like we are. Anyway. Now this I like the look of! Eurovision Song Contest - Dress-up Sticker Book (Hardie Grant, 2013) Promo blurb: With over 120 stickers to mix and match your own fabulous costumes
Use over 100 reusable stickers to dress up four different Eurovision contestants (26 different full outfits).
Recreate classic costumes, or mix and match the outrageous hairstyles, glitter jumpsuits, gothic capes, platform shoes and sequinned miniskirts of the hallowed Eurovision stage to construct your own spectacular outfits.
Also contains a range of backgrounds for your figures. Let me at it! Incidentally, the BBC's viewing figures for this year's final were up a cool million on 2013 when Vault studiously ignored the event, though obviously, we refuse to accept any credit. How terrifying that this hopeless thread should have spilled over onto a second page. Luckily CoCo can see the funny side! (thanks to Patsy Fox)
