The Dutch commentator of the semi finals of the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens just made a classic slip of the tongue. Introducing Bulgaria’s backing singer he says:
‘He sings from his underpants. Um… that should be underbelly. And in his spare time, he’s a transvestite.’
Armenia, Bulgaria, Andorra, Belarus… all fantastically out of tune and out of synch with the rest of the planet.
Three hours to go. I’m doing this for work. Honest.
