Sigh. The solvency issues in Europe have been such a great mess.

Temperance in eating is a virtue needed by many people.

Just take one less bite, please.

There's one thing conspicuous about Japanese action cartoons. In the fights, the figures typically saw the air elegantly and suavely. Well, why do they have to entertain their enemies' eyes so diligently? :-)

Video - Jig by Riverdance - Eurovision Song Contest 1994 Dublin

Jig dance, a.k.a. clog dance, is a type of Irish folk dance.



"
Riverdance was first performed during the 7-minute interval of the Eurovision Song Contest at the Point Theatre, Dublin on 30 April 1994. It received a standing ovation. Later that year, the BBC commissioned a repeat performance of the act for the 1994 Royal Variety Show, when it was introduced on stage by Sir Terry Wogan. At Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest it was named as one of the most popular interval acts in the history of the contest.
