News of the day…

THE union of Serbia and Montenegro has pulled out of the Eurovision Song Contest after its two constituent republics came close to a brawl over the choice of a song.
The contest in Belgrade to choose the union’s entry ended with the mainly Serb audience booing the Montenegrin group, No Name, when they tried to perform their winning song. The crowd was convinced that Montenegrin judges had rigged the voting and guards had to escort the nameless winners from the hall. The organisers decided to pull out yesterday.
“If we can’t sing in harmony it’s better we don’t appear in Europe,??? said Aleksandar Tijanic, the head of Serbian state TV.

Vote Aleksandr Tijanic for “understatement of the year”!
