Last night saw the arrival of the 55th Eurovision song contest at The Queens. We are huge fans and so we had been cajoling our regulars into sharing our excitement - which they did with gusto! Anyone passing through the door was issued with a quiz sheet, scorecard and (if they participated in our sweepstake) a flag relevant to the country they had picked from the hat.
The scorecards provided people with lots of amusement as snippets of conversation such as 'FIRE - ten points' or 'Oh god, white denim again' echoed across the air.
Also - with a little financial incentive - people were waving their flags frantically, and you wouldn't believe the switched allegiances - A girl from up North suddenly became a Greek and I personally, though dressed as a French lady was rooting for Russia..well the flags are the same colour....I guess...
All in all lots of Euro madness...which despite the 100 million Russians in Europe did not see me win either of the prizes...those went to Dave as overall winner of the competition - Germany, and Sharon - our in-house winner - Greece. Double celebrations for Sharon as it was also her 30th birthday - Many happy returns!
