- The phrase creakingly posh.
- The Wet Look Jersey Maxi Dress by Kate Moss for Topshop. I can't wait to see it on the drunken streets of London. It would be amazing to strut in.
- I've been reminded of the immense gloriousness of Sia's Breath Me.
- Eurovision 2008 has a stage, with a great big phallic pole up the centre, and tentacles.
- Eurovision 2008 has a logo. It is intriguing. I'm quite excited to speculate what the purple shape is - a plum? a pepper? a wind-based clay instrument? Your suggestions please!
