Friday Five Favourite: Eurovision Songs 2019

24 05 2019

There seemed to be a fair amount of serious songs this year, including ours and the winners, which was a shame, but these were my top five.

1. Australia

2. Denmark

3. Czech Republic

4. France

5. Spain

Also a honourary mention for the weirdest song this year for Iceland…..

Also need to share with you one of this year’s interval acts (not Madonna!). They got four of the most Eurovisiony acts from the last few years of competition and had them sing each other’s songs – outstanding.

Friday Five Favourite: Dresses at the TV BAFTAs 2019

17 05 2019

I know we’re not meant to talk too much about the dresses because it’s much more about the actress’s skills, and this isn’t a very feminist thing to do, but there is a little girl inside me who loved the pretty dresses on Sunday night, and here are my five favourites!

Jodie Comer

Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Daisy May Cooper – “If I wore a normal dress, that would cost a lot of money and I thought I’d donate that money to a local food bank.”

Friday Five Favourite: Christmas Advert Runners Up 2018

7 12 2018

A selection of this year’s Christmas adverts that were good, that were maybe warm and fuzzy, but not strong enough to make the top five – in no particular order…

McDonalds

Intu

Vodafone

John Lewis

Asda

As an added bonus, this isn’t really a Christmas advert, but absolutely superb, possibly better than all of the above. Every year, when John Lewis release their Christmas advert, a man in the USA with the twitter handle @johnlewis is completely overwhelmed with responses (John Lewis’ actual twitter handles is @jlandpartners, used to be @johnlewisretail or something like that), so this year, Twitter worked with him to make this
