It will not have been lost on even the most casual viewer that the coronation carpets were in the colours of the Ukrainian flag. "A happy coincidence" is the official line - but we know that "The Firm" is much cleverer than that...
As we struggle to readjust after all that pomp and majesty to the dullness of work - and, as we also begin our countdown to the next great event of the season, the Eurovision Song Contest this Saturday - let's wallow, shall we, in the antics of the Ukrainian entry in the contest back in 2014, and the infamous debut of the "hamster-wheel man"?!
Have a good (rest of the) week, dear reader.
Yes to Hamster-wheel man!
ReplyDeleteHandsome and athletic! Jx
DeleteNone of yer "safety gay" nonsense!
ReplyDeleteThat gay looks particularly unsafe to me! One slip, and he's ruined his coiffure... Jx
DeleteLove that the singer is so incidental to the whole number.
ReplyDeleteCertainly, no-one will remember her, just the hamster-man. Jx
DeleteDo you think that his initial falls in the wheel were accidental?
ReplyDeleteShe has the look of Chelsea Healey about her.
Sx
I think it was all choreographed.
DeleteI had to look up Chelsee Healey, and now I wish I hadn't. Dreadful "trout-pout"! Jx
There's no denying that the cathedral looked spectacular.
ReplyDeleteEverything in this event was spectacular. Let's face it, nobody but the British can ever do anything like it!
DeleteWestminster Abbey it one of the grandest buildings in the world to host an occasion of such magnitude. Jx
We should have won that year too ! (even if we didn't have a hamster wheel)
ReplyDeleteAs I recall, none of us actually liked the UK entry that year, Children of the Universe by Molly Smitten-Downes. Funny thing, though, I heard it again the other week on one of the myriad BBC Radio shows about Eurovision, and thought it didn't sound bad at all. Mellowed with time, I guess. Jx
