And, speaking of universal mysteries of life that can probably afford to go unsolved; The Trail-Cam and Earbuds that Amazon said would be delivered today (14/5) were, in fact, delivered today! Not that I've had time to properly unbox them both. Seriously, I'm still at the point of just assuming that Sony actually put earbuds in the box they delivered to Amazon. The question of whether to get a Wi-Fi enabled Trail-Cam was rendered rather moot by the fact that where I'm hoping to mount it is beyond Wi-Fi range. My endowment is just that impressive(!) Of course potential for an extremely niche OnlyFans/Wh...

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/05/switzerland.html Except I've completely blanked on the act I'm thinking of. The one where the straight White man sung about plucking up the courage to break into the house of the woman he's long been obsessively stalking.  Except no-one found it to be creepy and stalkerish. As he did it in a language few people understood, over a jaunty banjo tune with a big, sweet, innocent smile on his face. Of course I've yet to have time to properly prep all the acts in the second Semi-Final. Yet I did watch the first Semi-Final. So even I'm aware of the tie-in with Italy.

But here stands before you evidence that they're starting to evolve into an entirely seperate species. Sort of a reversal of Neanderthal Man & Homo Erectus. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/05/luxembourg.html She is Luxembourgish. Born in Luxembourg City, home to the founding HQ of The European Coal & Steel Community, seat of the EU Parliament until 1991 and sill home to the EU Court, the EU Investment Bank and much of the EU's vast, vast bureaucracy. Where she was educated at one of the several schools exclusively for the children of EU bureaucrats. However her parents are both from Slovenia. They moved to Luxembourg to join the EU's vastly and vastly expensive bureaucracy in 2003, a year before Slovenia even joined the EU. And, as I'm sure Melania has already explained to her husband; Aye, you must think Mother Nature sucks ass. To pull that Dragon Drama stunt during a COP Summit! #Quidproquo. Also. I'm pretty sure; "Neanderthal Man ...

Plus the halcyon days of Hitler. During which time the locals were enthusiastic early adopters of both the Cine Camera and the Final Solution.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/05/armenia.html With the Dove being an internationally recognised symbol of peace. Armenia is still emerging from its near 30 year war with Azerbaijan over The Nagorno-Karabkh Region. While both Armenia and Azerbaijan are basically just Iran, innit(!) So you get one guess, then you're fired.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/05/azerbaijan.html Although, clearly, James Bond & Sherlock Holmes combined still won't be able to figure it out for themselves(!) However this Jamila is Russian, born in Moscow in 1982. I've not been able to track down much information on the "Rast" band she used to perform with. However I do know that in old Farsi "Rast" means; "Basic."  Particularly in the context of the basic principles of Mugham. That traditional form of musical (vocalisation) storytelling strongly associated with the Karabakh region of....?!
