I don't know whether any of you guys follow Eurovision, but I just saw this on the news and thought it was funny.

There's an Irish contestant who uses a chicken (or turkey depending on what version you read/listen to) puppet for their song. I saw a bit of it, and it looked very funny.

That was a good laugh for a quiet morning.  Thanks Na for posting that.

Oh look, I've posted more than 100 times.  Whooo-hooo.  I'm going to chatch up with you Na, It'll be years before I even come close to Billy's current number and by then he'll be a 10,000.  It's great to have you guys to post to.  Not very many people around here understand my interest in puppets.

No worries! Thought it would make for interesting viewing... those nutty Euros!

I had to laugh when I read that... you should see the looks I get when grown people ask what I do for a living. Kids, on the other hand, think it's no different than if I had said I was a fairly princess <--- although being a fairy princess would probably be regarded as a much more envious career. 

Sorry, didn't mean to throw the thread off topic.

I have literally just finished watching Dustin the turkey on the Eurovision competition. I have to say, it's weird - not the greatest looking puppet in the world, or the greatest song (ok, yes, it's Eurovision, the songs are always a bit off)... it was certainly interesting though. The booth that hid the puppeteer had flashing lights, a rotating doll... or toy.. something, anyway.

Strange yet funny!
