For those of you without access to it on the TV, Norway won the Eurovision Song Contest, my tip, Azerbaijan, were 3rd and the UK were 5th. Germany and France were, ahem, also-rans.

Look here this time next year for the 2010 commentary!

Mind you I really like the EBW and bought one for my son. It is just if they develop an eInk one that would be the one addition I'd like to see.. That and SD as opposed to SmartMedia.

i completely agree !

eurovision : oh, was that tonight ?

Sorry, no... (Am I missing something

Is it again about having our identity defined by US movies? :-/

Roughly translated: Casinos are stronger fortified then Paris - okay, baad example

--edit: And the film is quite funny.

A-hem - could France and Germany hold off hostilities for a moment? There are other countries who may want to join in, but are too busy having an extended afternoon tea to do so just yet...

Yeah, okay. Its a centuries old hostility, it wont cool down in some hours

No, really - you cannot just join into something like that! Its an elitist war!

And I *do* hope that nobody takes me too serious here, we are open for everybody.

I'm neither taking anyone too seriously or being serious.

(even about the scones, as I don't have any

)

No scones? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I can solve this German/French problem (or is it French/German problem?) real easy.

Texas is better.

See, now they're both after Texans....

(Just a public service we Texans have been doing for 150 years...)

Oh, I agree with all that. A new device should natively read formats and SD support would be a Good Thing. Those are both more important to me than eInk, actually, as long as the battery life is reasonable. I'd just as soon keep the cost low.

Why, thank you. What have you got there? A single-estate Darjeeling, I hope? Makaibari first flush? No, I take neither milk nor lemon. No sugar. Thank you!

Oh, we can't have that! Would you prefer apricot-cranberry, or apple-walnut? Here, let me toast that for you.

(I'm much more interested in tea with scones than either Eurovision or WWIII. Actually, isn't everyone?

)

Well, as you're joining us for tea, you can take it off now...

I'd go and make some, but it's ten to two in the morning!

There's Assam too if you'd prefer - large leaf, Harmutty.

I think I'm possibly more obsessed with tea than interested in it...
