It's been such great weather this weekend! Hope you've all had lovely weather too and here's hoping a few more to come

Glad to hear things are all good with you Wiggy

Ahah, unfortunately I can't help out Good luck with the job hunt though, perfect time to get your bar work with summer coming....get yourself along to Soho!

I must say I've noticed far more teenagers being very metrosexual nowadays! God knows when the craze kicked in but least it helps reduce the stigma around being 'too gay' for those youngsters that are actually dealing with coming out etc.

If you're looking for a dating site, I reckon you'd like POF Wiggy. It's more of the 'normal' app than a Grindr etc which you'd probably not be a fan of.
I might have burned a few bridges in Soho...

Without going into detail, because obviously that'd make it even worse...let's just say, sometimes, it's better not to turn down very influential individuals..

Go build some new ones then

In all seriousness though, I get what you mean about the spurned individuals etc, but don't let them grind you down! London is huge, so if you're unable to get work in Soho, never mind it's their loss of good bar staff at the end of the day (I'm assuming you're decent anyway ha!)...plus there's plenty more pubs in the area

Yeah, I dunno about being decent at the bar stuff, but I'm definitely good with people.

I just need to get myself out there, I'm sure I'll find something!

I miss the routine of having something to do.

Eurovision semi-final 1 tonight, any one else excited?

Wait.. what?! Already?! I thought it was Thursday.. bugger. Best get me to a tellybox.

I wouldn't worry too much either way...if and/or when you're ready for that sorta thing it'll happen!
Aww thanks.
Now that would be your perfect dating site though!! Oooh, that's a slightly scathing review! Probably some guy that forgot some of the words and lost his real life Prince Charming lmao!
haha

Well, it's all about customer care these days anyway so you're good there I'm sure! And you seem to have the right attitude anyway so I'm sure it won't be long until you find something!

Yeah, it must be awful not having that routine! Though enjoy this lovely weather whilst you can hahah

Got the footy on atm, but will be onto Eurovision laters hopefully a decent semi!

Hopefully no one makes a double-entendre out of that...

And it was an okish semi-final. Best part was Måns in his DJ.

Well the second semi-final was better. Great opening act (rather have that as the interval on Sunday). And that cheeky bit with Måns and the 'wolf'....

Some good acts, but some right naff ones got through. Glad to see Latvia, Belgium, Lithuania and Israel make it to the final. Shame for Belarus and Ireland.

I'd love to see the show go to Malta. That is, if the UK doesn't win.

I see there's some already speculating what'll happen if Russia wins. Tough decision for the EBU.

Ain't he just. Although I could do without the tattoo.

Not a fan of the winning song.

Ukraine were a delightful surprise, and thank god, Australian song blew hard and they aren't even a European country...

^Whilst it wasn't terrible (a la the Georgian entry), I wasn't a huge fan of the Swedish song.

5th place was generous, but not outrageous.

I can't believe our jury gave it douze points.

But hey, each to their own and all that. It'd be boring if all entries were identical, so at least they stood out from the rest.

..

On a separate note (and perhaps a tangent), being the nerd I am, I looked up which US network was showing it. I assumed BBC America, PBS or Bravo. I was surprised (well not by much) to discover that it was on Logo.

For those that are not familiar, Logo is an LGBT channel. Which brings me to this question(s)..

Should we have something similar here? Is there a need for such a channel in the UK?

Didn't our twelve go to Malta? or was that the public vote?

Just looked it up. Apparently our jury didn't give anything to Malta, and neither did the televote. That's if I'm reading the chart right on Wikipedia.

I think i preferred the old system.. far more streamlined.
