#BIRTHDAY: Aistė from Lithuania is 45 today It’s not often that you get a song with the word thrush in it. Unless it’s a jingle for an advert for some medical products I guess. And when a bird is mentioned, it’s usually something more showy, like a bluebird […]
#BIRTHDAY: Charlotte Perrelli from Sweden is 48 today One of the golden rules of our favourite TV show is this: If you win, leave it at that. You’ve reached the pinnacle, so don’t try again. It’ll end in tears. Unless you’re Seán Sherrard. Cast your mind back to […]
