Does anyone know how far in advance #ABBAVoyage tickets go up? If I wanted to buy for next November, roughly when would that go on sale?

Currently watching on BBC2 and oh my gosh, what a talent she is. The UK is lucky to have such an amazing artist right now. #JadeAtTheProms

This evening’s concert marked a significant milestone: the first Prom to be televised beyond the capital, celebrating four years of the Proms' presence in Gateshead.

I’m very behind on #CelebrityTraitors - is it just me or is Jonathan Ross an accidental style icon? He looks like he got dressed in the dark & shoved on any old thing, but also everything he wears is somehow fabulous? How?!

Genuinely fascinating deep dive into what makes a Eurovision song. I live for this kind of geekery.
James Stephenson and Sem Anne van Dijk crunch the numbers behind Eurovision songs and discover what makes the difference on the Song Contest stage, and which song is the most average song from the last decade. escinsight.com/2025/11/05/e...

Another thing they missed out of #GirlbandsForever was that Heidi Range was originally in Atomic Kitten. She was right there, so why didn’t they ask her about it?!

Just finished watching #GirlbandsForever last night. Why did they leave out Girls Aloud? They didn’t mention them even once!

Why do old people care so much about Halloween suddenly? When I was a kid we didn’t decorate for Halloween or have a pumpkin or anything. But if I don’t do it for my kids now, my mum will not let it go! 😂 When it did become a ‘thing’?! 🎃

Apparently a third of the internet relies on Amazon web services. Do we think it was a good idea to put so many eggs in that one basket…?!

I’ve just seen a beauty campaign using a model inspired by Ophelia, similar to the Taylor Swift Ophelia imagery. Why is everyone obsessed with her now? Don’t you all know Ophelia went mad and drowned?!

Years ago I bought this cat cake in Asda for my daughter’s birthday but I think they’ve stopped making it. Does anyone know if any other big supermarkets have a cat themed cake? It’s all she wants for her birthday!

People are wandering around in bucket hats and putting strawberries in sandwiches, and it rains every time I try to hang my washing outside. This country is so strange.

Well done to the #Lionesses. Now that we’re champions (again) can we retire that awful ‘It’s Coming Home’ song? That song is all about being hopeful losers. Our women are winners! Women’s football should have its own song anyway. Can’t we get the Spice Girls or someone to do one for them?!

Missing #BristolCalling today as I’m not feeling great but I do get to listen to my daughter singing in the next room. She’s really good but shy about it - every time one of us goes in, she stops! I wish she’d be confident enough to do it in front of people, she’s a lovely singer!

Ok who else is watching #BuildingtheBand ? This format is addictive to watch! I’m obsessed with group #1. They’re the best. When do they all get band names?!

Ok #Eurovision geeks help me out - I know there were once plans for an Asiavision contest and they’ve done the American Song Contest. Has there ever been an African version? If not, why not?

Maybe they could go Paddy McGuinness style: Let the douze see the points!
Can we please start a thread of suggestions for a new catchphrase for #Eurovision voting now that Martin is good to go? Here’s what Chat GPT thinks…
