Firstly, when I saw the horses I expected Father Ted to start singing about his horse.... after that I wasn't sure if Borat would jump out and start singing, or if the Smurfs would be turning up!

It's clearly a locally-acquired musical taste.

Not for me

I love it, but I think that’s just me.

Play anything to me 5 times (within reason), and I’ll just about guarantee I’ll like it

The sound and beat was good but I had to close my eyes to appreciate that as I was a bit disturbed by the video.

Man living outside mainstream community manipulates children and attracts young girls with promises of music, dancing and sparkling harem bikini tops and pants. But in a good way!

Perhaps an opinion on cultural diversity but made my skin crawl as it seemed to promote the wrong sort of interest in children.

Was that your pitch for Eurovision?

It reminded me of the debate on another post as to why Greece didn't vote for Germany. Other obvious issues aside, the German entry was a very west European pop song if you like. However you regularly get Eurovision entrants like your track from the Balkans eastwards. Time to recognise I think, that musical styles and tastes across are very different, in spite of the homogeneity of pop. Plus of course Greece would love it, because you could dance traditionally and should "Whopa" while singing along.

The other thing that surprises me is Eastern Europe's love of euphoric/trance dance music. My theory is that it gives access to a form of modern dance music that is essentially white in origin.

Outside of the UK, it seems that there are a lot of these song contests which are taken more seriously - to a greater or lesser degree - by the other European nations. My sense is that there's a real business opportunity there.

Call me mad but we're BBQ-ing today. Got 8-9 peoples coming over and the fridge is full of burgers, skewers and kebabs.
We first thought about just pan frying it, but will give BBQ a go anyway.
Been watching the weather forecast regularly and the forecast for BBQ time has improved :beer:

And also, it gives me an excuse to escape the party from time to time to poke in the charcoal.

I guess this asks the question: what sort of interest do YOU have in children?

Personally I'd not care if an actual BarBQ was present, or if food appeared by magic from time to time..... so long as it was outside, there was a table of bread rolls/salady stuff and some chairs, where the main part of the meal is cooked isn't important.

BarBQs are also smokey, annoying for neighbours, tricky to get started, can cause cooking mishaps .....

So, unless the 'fun' of actually BarBQing, pretending you live in a hot/dry climate, is what you like, then you might as well chuck a load of sausages/burgers in a pan, under the grill or in the oven

Isn't this afternoon supposed to be better Wheezy? Hopefully at least some of the day will be ok.
