Re: Eurovision 2011
I find it rather odd that people don't simply stand and sing anymore.
These days it seems obligatory to wear fancy dress and have hugely distracting light shows.

Surely if we found everything we need from Google, it would reduce the amount of interraction we have with each other.
No need to converse or chat to discover things - just ask Google, sounds rather dull and eliminates the delight of talking to others.

If prisoners are going to be deprived of anything, then access to drugs might be a better target, and more useful would be consistent and determined programmes of rehabilitation.

Re: Weetabix
It's a matter of taste.
Some people just lightly moisten so that some crispiness is retained.
Some use a lot of milk and mix it all up into a mush.
Others spread butter on one side and eat them dry.
