BE : The best Eurovision entry ever (from 1980) The idea behind this was to actually take the piss out of the contest itself; whilst giving respect to the technology used to produce it (bear in mind in 1980 this was all very advanced stuff); and to get "nul points" (so BRT did not have to spend loads of Francs hosting it as it often involves upgrading all the studio equipment and getting special communications lines).
They almost managed it except one of the Southern European nations got België and Nederland confused (in spite of them singing in French) and voted for them by mistake.
The dude singing looks like a 1980s maths teacher as you had to be as brainy as one to operate any kind of electronic music equipment back then. This video is from Dutch public TV which is why there is a male presenter talking in Dutch over the female presenter speaking French (confusing if you understand both languages - but that was quite common on telly of that era). It is the first and only time I have heard anyone singing about coaxial cables (cables blindés) of the kind used for TV antennas and cable TV/broadband; even Kraftwerk didn't manage that :laugh_at:

Beaux messieurs, belles dames: musique au programme
Chanteurs, à vos gammes, que le meilleur gagne
Les frontières sont ouvertes
Que déclarer si ce soir c'est la fête?
Les vedettes sont inquiètes
Elles se maquillent
Fument une cigarette
Avant d'aller sur la sellette
Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision
Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision
Vielle Europe acclame le pays qui gagne
Puis verse une larme, c'est la fin du charme
Les yeux du monde entier guettent, impatients
Les flashs télévisés
Qui vont leur annoncer
Par satellites et par câbles blindés
Ce qui se passe en leurs contrées
Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision
Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision
Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision

Aussie Bogan parody of Frozen’s Let it go (You’re a Whore) Hi Everyone,
In a fit of rage after being lied and cheated on, I decided to turn this energy into something creative.
It's a cover parody for the song 'Let it Go' from the Frozen movie. It's suitable titled 'You're a Whore'. This is a highly offensive track, so I suggest if foul language with explicit sexual content offends you, that you don't click the link below:

Please feel free to share with your friends and family.
Cheers,
Bogan R.
UK/IN : First British Asian wideboy :D Classic (I do get the impression he may well have been literally taking the piss of the colonial system; and knew how to play the game with it) :laugh_at:
"I think the gentleman needs… to be placed under observation as a mental case," he wrote in one letter dated 8 June 1929. He went on to relate how Waris Ali had handed a bottle of urine to a British official passing through Gwadar "to have it examined in Karachi, as he thought he was suffering from hereditary gonorrhoea".
But what particularly seems to have infuriated the Major was Waris Ali's habit of writing as if they were equals. Waris Ali was addressing him as "Dear Murphy" - "with the 'Major' put in afterwards," Murphy spluttered - and signing off with the outlandish line: "Love to Patrick".

UK : N : Northern boffins make successful chocolate teapot A MYTH-busting quest to create a working chocolate teapot has been successful after York chocolatiers and scientists joined forces for the challenge.
Science TV presenter Marty Jopson from BBC1’s The One Show, has a love of inventions - and next on his list was to attempt to disprove the familiar expression “useless as a chocolate teapot.”
The challenge was to develop a teapot that could withstand boiling water long enough to let the tea brew for two minutes before pouring.
Mr Jopson went to master chocolatiers John Costello and Jan Kuendiger at Nestle Product Technology Centre (PTC) in York to find out what it would take to make a working chocolate teapot – and after weeks of planning, complex equations and numerous trips back to the drawing board, the result has been unveiled.

The secret to eternal life …. On his morning walk, a doctor noticed this old lady. She was sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said,
"I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"
"I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On weekends, I pop pills, have unprotected sex, and I don't exercise at all.
"That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?"
"Thirty-six," she replied.
