Oh cr&p. DH is doing a gay dance round the living room. Shall I tell him he is so going to get hit on tomorrow. Or does the penny need to finally drop that I'm his beard?

When OH and I went to Fresher's Fair at uni in our second year (before he was my boyfriend, we were just mates then) he wondered why the LGBT lot were chatting him up with so much enthusiasm - I reckoned it was a combination of his navy velvet trousers and his Mum's stretchy white fitted T-shirt that he'd mistake for one of his and nicked from hom.

Well...... they seem to have forgotten that those of us that always say "I" have to because we have no "we" .... unless we are schizophrenic

OH is reading a book called "The Self Illusion", and apparently, some schizophrenics can tickle themselves, while the rest of us can't.

Some headlines are sooo funny.

Ignoring the exploding tits angle, she looks much older than 30!

It beats me how some people think, "massively cheapo operation in a place where I don't speak the language or understand what's going on - yay!"

I find the bank staff have been instructed to chat even if you just want to be in and out quickly. I tend to choose the supermarket checkout based on whether I want to chat to the operator :-)

Allegedly if you sit on your hands until you lose feeling you can then touch yourself and it feels like it is another person...

Probably pretty clumsy a person. Not sure I 'd like that at all!

I've still got 3 cherry tomatoes that need to be used up. They'll be chucked into one of the baguettes.

If I buy a cucumber, I'll have to find a way to eat it all.... and I already have a cut down shopping list because everything has to be eaten before it goes off.

1/4 of a cucumber in one baguette? Blimey, you'd eat for England. I'd probably put 1/8th of half a cucumber in a baguette or sandwich.

DD loves cucumber. She likes to eat a whole one at a time - doesn't cut it up or anything, but just sits there taking bites from it.

That's very true. However, you could walk to the cash dispenser and take out £10. Then walk round the corner to the bank and pay it back in again. If you did that a couple of times a day, then according to the statistics you would live forever.

"A correlation does not necessarily imply a causal relationship"

Mind you, I think I might have gone a bit too far teaching that to my Y7s. They can now speculate about alternative reasons for any correlation you mention to them, to the extent that I'm not sure they'd believe any evidence about anything.

The final running order will be officially presented in about an hours time.

I can say, that Bonnie will be on 15th, and you should vote (on the app, for free, of course) for 10, 22 and 25

I'm a little nervous about being on so late in the competition, but such is life! I just don't want another repeat of one of the dress rehearsals for the semi!

It was why the word 'officially' was used.

The balls were done last night, hence the running order was released in the press conference last night.

5th 1am finish in a row tonight, so I apologise if I'm a little snappy.

So, what happens in the official announcement? It's a bit weird squeezing even more ceremony out of this thing. Perhaps for the official reveal we need a camp performance and some fireworks or the fog effect and wind blowing a back the hair and over done dress of an over made up and strangely dressed person as they read put the announcement?

Malmö, Sweden - The organisers of the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, SVT and the EBU,have revealed the running order for the Grand Final on Saturday. You can see it here.
We can now reveal the running order for the Grand Final of the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, which takes place this Saturday in Malmö, Sweden.

The running order was determined by the producers of show (SVT) and approved by the EBU Executive Supervisor, Jon Ola Sand and on behalf of the group by the Chairman of the Reference Group, Dr. Frank-Dieter Freiling.

I found out today that the Spanish FA Cup final was moved to avoid a clash with the Eurovision finals.
