Oh, re Eurovision … ? Ukraine’s folk-rap number seems to be the favourite …

Q1) Ransomware
Q2) Spencer Tracy
Q3) Dione Warwick
Q4) New Zealand
Q5) Go (I loved the novel, but I don’t think I ever caught the movie, although I like the actors in it. I’ll have to investigate)
Good luck with the course (and the sink). One of the singers who won Eurovision for Spain many moons back (1968, I think) caused a stir a few days ago, because she said she didn't like the Spanish song and the singer, and she said Ukraine should win, so they would have to reconstruct the city and it would bring them so money. I am not sure Putin would end the war just to facilitate Eurovision, but there's some twisted logic to it.
The future is here. And is widely distributed. :)
