Eurovision Song Contest 2024
The 68th Eurovision Song Contest is being held this month in Malmo, Sweden, with an expected 37 countries taking part. The first semi-final is scheduled for next Wednesday, 8 May, and the second semi-final for Friday 10 May, both starting at 7.0 am NZ time, and each lasting about 2 hours.
The grand final will take place on Sunday, 12 May, also starting at 7 am NZ time. But this show can last up to 4 hours, or longer.
The best place to watch any or all of these 3 events, live or later, is on Eurovision’s official YouTube channel. More information can be found on the official website, eurovision.tv... Perhaps this is Switzerland's year to win. But be warned, many of the entries this year are quite loud, as well as there being controversy over Israel's participation (approved by the organisers, the EBU) given the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
