Re: John Lydon wants to represent Ireland at the next Eurovision

Was a bit uber camp this year.

I tried to read the Wiki page for the Irish non-binary person who is a “they”. It’s an almost impossible read with theys, and theirs all over the place, quite amusing. Enjoyed their performance though, a good point of difference from the rest
