Eels at the Brighton Dome tonight. Double score as it's another Eurovision venue to tick off my list.

I missed that, what happened? That, basically: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jun/2...nterview-quotes I have a lot of time for Hari, for all his flaws, but he has acted like a bit of a divvy throughout this one.

I put in loads more garlic than the recipe called for, for what it's worth, but then I'm not planning on seeing anyone I don't know over the next few days.

Oo, good call. Will do exactly that when I reheat the rest of it tomorrow

Had a kilo of cherry toms from the market kicking around and only getting riper, so I made this: http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/257680...ted-tomato-soup Simplest thing in the world really, but my gosh the summer flavour of the tomatoes and the roasted garlic works so well. Loving it.

And to think people were after Johann Hari's blood the other day for cutting and pasting a few quotes. He apologised, but you can bet there'll be no remorse from this lot.

You mean you'll never forget it, but you've kind of forgotten it?

I fucking love this place sometimes.

Cancelled. Boo hiss.

Have a good one The Fish, looking forward to nibbling your spit-roasted pork at the weekend.

Naw, I'm sure it's a blooper too and it'll get cancelled. But you've got to be in it to win it, so hey.

Well yeah, I assume they're all more than £1.09 individually, that's sort of the point?

Haha! Won't even be buying a BluRay till later in the year/Christmas, but why not. Fully expect it to get cancelled en masse, but let's see.

Fate well and truly tempted.

Aurgh. Auf geht's!

Honk!

And it begins...

Not now that I've bet on it. Or we'll lose by one goal, worst of both worlds that way.

A handicap of -1 means you could take one goal away from Germany's score and they'd still win, i.e. you think they'll win by two goals or more (and so on).

I reckon Germany are going to absolutely smash us. Taking them -1 and -2, even tempted by -3.

Aye, but that's due to my lisp. Whatever you do, don't become a Seattle Seahawks fan.

So you think they'll beat Deutschland, España, 日本国 and العربية السعودية to the prize?

Evidently not.

Because it's shite, based on tonight's evidence. Hopefully Paraguay-Ecuador in half an hour will be more entertaining.
