Eurovision song contest 2019 WTF!!!

 Well the Eurovision farce contest.... errr,  song contest I mean,  was on last night. Britain rocketed into last place.
 I honestly wonder why we bother entering, we are one of the biggest financial contributors, yet the last time we won was 1997 with Katrina and the Waves with "Love, Shine a Light".
 The voting is a disgrace, countries voting for their mates regardless of how terrible a song is, it's just an exercise in tactical voting now.
 Then theres the Australia's entry... Australia?   What the fuck are they doing in the Eurovision song contest?  How long has  Australia been in bloody Europe?  I know theres Continental drift, but it must have speeded up since I last bought an atlas. Last time I checked it was 9.442 bloody miles away.  Obviously it's now bumped into Europe. The red light district in Hamburg (Reeperbahn) must be full of fucking Koala bears and Kangaroos all on the make, the Wallaby's have cornered the local drug scene in Paris no doubt.
 Seriously why bother calling it the Eurovision contest when it's open to anybody.  Why do we bother entering, it pulls less viewers UK wise than eastenders or coronation street do regularly.

Bull, Bigpit and black and white (and a few train drivers)

 Took my mother out to the Blaenavon and ponypool railway then walked to Bigpit which is close by. Very nice day.
 Had food and cuppa and watched the trains for a bit then spent ages mooching around Bigpit.       Theres a ton of pictures there. I need to go back just taking pics.
 Decided to go black and white on a lot for a change.

Still playing with my new walkaround lens I thought I'd give macro a go.

Ship ID

 Recently I posted a pic of this ship, I got courious and looked it up. It's the Sertao a 226m 6000 ton drilling ship.

Makes me wonder....

 An aircraft crashed in Canada yesterday, the crew were lucky to survive the crash landing of the cargo flight... but I do wonder if the fact the aircraft was 77 years old had anything to do with the accident.
 Lets face it 77 year old cars are display and museum use almost exclusively. Very very few are used on a daily basis for work. But we are talking about a plane that might fly over towns. This is crazy.
