#BIRTHDAY: Engelbert Humperdinck from the UK is 89 today Eurovision is a young person’s game. Or is it? People of all ages from 11 to, well, unknown, despite a certain presenter in 1987 telling us about the rising stars taking part. Our friends in the UK are amongst […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katrina Leskanich is 65 today There are countries out there who have experienced greatness in the past. But those days seem to be long gone. A decent result here and there but said country may wonder what it needs to do. For many years the United Kingdom […]
