love that he's recycled Rosa Linn's post-it notes. More sustainable Eurovision please.

I just really like my curves, they're banging. Sue me, skinny influencers.

100% this! I don't really care about being lean, I just want to be strong.

Sadly I was part of the generation that decided women who lifted would get 'bulky' and should stick to the cross trainer. It delights me to see how many women of all ages are smashing it in my gym every day.

I found the gym two years ago, aged 50. Turns out lifting heavy things means I no longer start the day with lower back pain. Who knew?

Sweden: 'can we have all of it?'
Lighting guy: 'what, all at once?'
Sweden: Yup.

The perils of privatisation. It's our Thames Water.

Stockholm was my first Euroclub! I was there as press but covering my own expenses, so a free pint of wine would have been very welcome.

the house opposite has football on 24/7. They are not my people.

I think Kiev was my favourite. Massive room, just wander in, gin & tonic in a pint glass for five euros.

Yes for press and fan press, they've had to pay for a few years now. Delegations and EBU are still free but there is some ticket faff, you can't just rock up

which means one dancefloor will be uncomfortably rammed and the other two will be a wasteland.

I have to do this twice a year, Scott, alongside a full time job. I've had to make peace with the screaming.

Crossroads was one of their biggest hits. A 2002 classic.

Raise your hand if you immediately started singing Blazin' Squad.

Also I know the Scandis can always be relied on to bring the bangers, but they've outdone themselves this year.

Having a little rave in the gym to Sweden's Eurovision entry. 20 years on, the spirit of Cascada's Everytime We Touch lives on.

Went to my local GP this morning, gave my name to the receptionist and instead of making me feel like human excrement she said 'are you the writer? I'm such a big fan' so we must protect the NHS at all costs.

Am sat in the window of a restaurant in Bath, overlooking a pub where I pretty much lived when I should have been at college. Realised that was 35 years ago, fuuuck.
