A lighter look at the news

The West-Kardashian union has produced another offspring and as with their other children, this child too has a very 'unique' name.

Now, in case you have been on an expedition to the Himalayas, in search of yourself and have only just returned to civilisation, let me enlighten you on the unique name of this child - Psalm.

No, you are not hallucinating - that really is the child's name and no one would blame you if you want to rush back to the Himalayas.

Personally, I am a little concerned for their child named Chicago. They named their first child North, which is a lighthearted play on their surname - West (lucky child gets to share a name with a compass - North West).

The second child and the latest one are called Saint and Psalm, a not-so-playful nod to their father's Christ complex. But poor Chicago - she gets named after a windy city.

The UK has gone through its ritual annual humiliation at the hands of the rest of Europe. I am not talking about Theresa May making another futile attempt to win over Juncker and friends. I am talking about Eurovision.

As usual, we ended up at the bottom. I have said it before and I'll say it again - we could send Adele and Ed Sheeran to sing a duet and we would still end up at the bottom of the pile.

At least before, Ireland would throw a few pity points our way but since Brexit, Ireland has turned a cold shoulder. In fact, I would go so far as to say Ireland's shoulder is so cold, one would get frost bite just from touching it.

Even that most European of all countries, Australia, fares a lot better than the UK and turns its back on us as well.

You knew that there is no hope for the UK whatsoever, when that poor man's (and woman's) Kojak, the San Marino contestant, and his intellectually stimulating song, 'Say Na, Na, Na' raced ahead of the UK.

Well, if you insist Mr Kojak, I will say 'na, na, na.'

Madonna turned up to perform and one wishes she hadn't. She brought along her diva act and unfortunately, she also brought along some duff notes.

Never mind, we all have a year to recover before it all happens again.

Until next time, try and keep it light!
