BIRTHDAY: Francesca Michielin from Italy is 25 today We all know that one of the Big Five (at least) is really gunning for its next win. Year after year it generally out-performs the other four with its results. And when it does win, what a glorious contest that […]
BIRTHDAY: Ana Rucner is 37 today It would be good to see certain countries come back to our favourite TV show. Not just those micro-states, but there are some larger ones that did well in the past, but now sit on the sidelines. It wasn’t that long ago […]
