        @cstross That set-up just looks like trouble -- if someone spills water on the cute little Grem... I mean Furbys.

            @cstross for the first time in my life, I've actually seen a Eurovision artist perform live before they got announced.

            This is a weird feeling

              @mossman @cstross He was EXCELLENT!

              And the amount of wind it put up hoitet-toitey entertainers was *hilarious* in and of itself.

                @markdennehy @cstross it was utterly unfunny eye rolling crap. Annoyed the hell out of me. Not witty or clever or amusing or ... anything really

                  @emily_s @cstross That feels quite weird to me as well. And it's *definitely* the first time I've rewritten Arduino code from a Eurovision artist!

                            @FandaSin @cstross I saw him a few weeks ago in the belly of a north Antlanic fish trawler. It was quite something 🙂

                              @cstross My initial thought was "the UK shouldn't participate in Eurovision this year for ethical reasons" but on second thought if they *are* participating... embrace the chaos clown show!

                                      @cstross maybe it's because I'm not British, but I am totally not excited that one of my favourite YouTubers and makers will be taking part in a contest which is being actively boycotted because of its pro-Israel bias.
