Eurovision. (Wildly Off Topic.)

.

I’m intrigued by the idea of a “draw for the semi-finals of the Eurovision song contest”.

When Sandie Shaw won it in 1967, did it go to penalties?

As a young child I sat opposite them on a Vickers Viscount flying from Majorca to London and Pearl gave me a sweet for the ear popping that we sometimes used to experience in those days. Also got to the flight deck during the journey.
A family holiday after my four year old brother had recovered from burns after his dressing gown caught fire when it brushed one of those old unshielded electric bar heaters. I still remember vividly being sent out in the snow to call for help from the pub. No telephones then.

The quiz show featuring "Sing Little Birdie".

Lannis - was this the quiz show to which you refer?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Forum/Communist_Quiz

"Idle asks Lenin the name of the song by Teddy Johnson and Pearl Carr which won the Eurovision Song Contest 1959. Lenin has no clue, so Idle once again throws the question open. Unexpectedly Mao rings his buzzer and gives the correct answer: 'Sing Little Birdie' (The song actually finished second.)"

Certainly was. And if someone ever asks me about the Wolverhampton Wanderers .... I'm in.

The "Wolverhampton Wanderers" reference was probably down to Eric Idle. He's a Wolves fan.
