"We're sad about lack of Eurovision"

We're sad re-lack of Eurovision.

From the archive - this was us, mid-way through Eurovision, unable to watch it due to the ineptitude of the staff at Manchester's infamous (as they would say in the Daily Mail) Hollywood Showbar. And the overwhelming rain which caused the signal to fall apart, and prevented us from returning to the apartment to watch it at home. We were not amused, although in the end we were able to watch in 20-second snatches followed by 5-second blanks. (Or was that the cheap vodka?)
