Hi all, it's Thursday again! And that means I bring you some more Eurovision classics! Today the songs I give you today are actually some of my personal favourites. And they're probably no-one else's favourites but what 'floats your boat' is always going to vary from person to person. And I have more! Today's are …

Hey all. Weird is weird, but some songs at Eurovision were just plain dreadful. Sure, it can be somewhat subjective. But these ones, I'm pretty confident, we can all agree scrape the very bottom of the barrel. This one is 2001 from Israel. 'Ping Pong'. These songs seem to have one thing in common - …

One country that truly say they have conquered Eurovision (albeit not since the mid-90s) is the Republic of Ireland. They have won an astonishing SEVEN times, including three in a row and four in five years! Here they are, all of them in chronological order. 1970 Dana – All kinds of Everything This is not …

Happy Thursday to ye all. Today I want to show you a very special Eurovision song from the contest in Sweden in the year I was born, 1975. This was the competition following on from Abba's huge win in 1974 with 'Waterloo'. The 1975 winner 'Ding-a-dong' from the Netherlands has not stood the test of …

Hi all. Yes, another itinerary for you, to one of my absolute favourite countries in the world. In mental preparation for writing about the UK, I realised that despite four trips to the UK thus far, I really have sold myself short on the UK because there are loads of places I have not yet …
I’ve been reticent to write much about Mostar in the past, because well, I don’t have a lot of strong memories about the place really and I don’t feel I saw that much. But it was certainly interesting enough to warrant a post, and I was thinking about what I was going to write about …
Hi folks. Looks like this week we're heading to Bosnia-Hercegovina. On the blog that is! It's been 14 years since I made my way from the south - crossing from Dubrovnik - to the northwest out to Zagreb, stopping at Mostar and the capital, Sarajevo. And let me just say - the capital is an …
Howdy all. I thought with today’s post I would get all sentimental-like and reminisce about my first time as a backpacker in Europe, as part of my first time around the world back in 1999. Yep – LAST CENTURY! I’m old. So anyways, on this occasion I concentrated on Western Europe. For the sake of …
