Oh dear God.

You know in future centuries ours will be known as the Age Which Documented Everything, and WENT AND KEPT THE FUCKING DOCUMENT!

Future centuries will be very irritable centuries, and no wonder.

Yeah, but we are keeping everything on computers...in about 700 years most of our 'information' could be unusable. Someone ought to print out everything ever written here and put it in air-tight container and place it deep under ground. Hello to any future archaeologists...this is what we did back in 2001!

I think ILM expects a full report on the Fruit-Eating Bears CD.

The wisdom of ILM will be passed on from generation to generation. Big up the oral tradition, say I.

Future archeologists will be very irritable archeologists, and no wonder.

Future archeologists.. do they excavate the future?

Oh, yeah Eurovision is on. Strikes me that Europe don't get together for all that much, when they do it's to share a tragedy. It's positive to see them getting together to celebrate each other's 'efforts', a sweeter pathos than reflecting on the mistakes of the past. The embarrassment and shame is shared, everyone is implicated, like an internation karaoke (is this why Britain's entry is usually handicapped by 'the King'.) and the points are still diplomatically distributed so no one takes it to heart (cept the 'fool' winners).

Huh. Bring back the Fruit-Eating Bears and Vanessa Mae... And all the irony in the world won't stop me physically loathing T.Wogan. What kind of half-wit anit-violence dweebs are HIS stalkers?

I voted for the Russian entry. I thought either Greece or Sweden would win.

Oops. I meant this for ILE and now I see ILM has covered it elsewhere. Ignore me.
