About the pain of having your heart broken? Of course it is. What other meaning were you reading into it? I'm suspecting a saucy one...

I can't do the Let It Swing dance, but that hasn't stopped me doing it in a public place.

Six-and-a-half minutes.

There was a Finnish band in 1994 called CatCat. They didn't do anything particularly catlike on stage, however, they wore bodices and danced about in platform shoes. Which is just attention seeking.

I have. But you can wait for the Bluffer's Guide to 2003 for a bit more on that subject.

I do like full strength Miller, but if I'm having a spirity tipple, then Southern Comfort and Coke.

You mischievous question asker! I have a morbid fear of octopus/squid/cuttlefish, ever since I saw a photo of one in a book when I was about seven. It's the suckers. So, in answer to your question, no, I do not have a pet octopus.

There's books about Eurovisions and websites stuffed with trivia which I've been absorbing for about 10 years. Although there are no official DVD or VHS releases of Contests before 2004 (it would be a copyright nightmare sorting out the royalties for the songwriters) there are tapes knocking about of old Contests which I've had a look at. I can recommend 1969...

No, there just isn't the time and I don't have the inclination. I follow the UK selection and watch some of the Swedish heats online, but I'd much rather be down the pub than watching A Song for Georgia, if I'm honest.

I like this question. It all depends on how technically progressive something looks for the time it was made. 1963 is very impressive for its time, but that's overshadowed by the 'was it pre-recorded?' controversy. I think 1976 is my absolute favourite, though, with its funky use of geometry. Worst is possibly 1982 as it doesn't have that all important Eurovisiony sense-of-scale, but surprisingly, since doing the Bluffer's Guide to 1993 (due online any day) I couldn't believe how rubbish that one looks. It's so bare, everyone looks lost on it and you get the feeling anyone over 6ft tall is going to bump their head on the ceiling. I think that squeaks 1982 for worst stage.

Indeed it isn't. There is a group of fans in the North West who occasionally meet up for a pint and a natter, but we haven't done that for some time. Thank you for reminding me, this must be sorted. Anyone reading from the North West who fancies an ESC meet-up in the New Year?

I love it! I only got into Eurovision in the early '90s because Doctor Who was no longer on telly and I needed something trivia-laden to fill the void. Now that it's back I'm a lucky duck who has both to enjoy and I always try to find conenctions between the two where I can. There's another one to come in A Bluffer's Guide to 1998.

Peanut butter and bagels.

That would mean Vanilla Ninja, the Estonian girl group, versus the pirate group who sang for Latvia in 2008. There's no question. Vanilla Ninja. Hard as nails.
