Whether you believe in Christmas or whether you don't look at it this way, I certainly know if you are in Australia, you may not believe in the big man, you may not believe in the baby Jesus, but what you can believe in is because of him we get four to five paid public holidays each year, and so for that, thank you, baby Jesus, and a shout out to everybody, and whatever you may be celebrating today, even if it's celebrating being alive, because you know what, that's one hell of a good reason to sell a break. Let us know all the other holidays that you think should be a public holiday, all the religious ideas, all the religious days. What do you think we should get an extra public holiday for? Because I think, in the spirit of inclusivity, let's get a public holiday for everybody, no matter what you're selling. Is it happy to valet? Let's throw some colors? Let's have a public holiday. Happy Hanukkah, let's I don't know what you do for Hanukkah let's light some candles. Or what's the day where you eat nothing but pancakes? I don't know, there may be more to it, but pancakes, but I know that there are pancakes involved and, to be honest, I can think of nothing better than having a whole public holiday just to eat pancakes. Best public holiday ever. Let us know you know what? Let's get some pagan festivals in there as well. Let's get public holidays for everybody. That's how we bring the world together. We all enjoy a great, big day off from work.
Speaker 1:
If you're like me, you woke up this morning to some news that you went what? The Complete Eurovision news completely out of left field. We all awoke this morning to headlines all around News Feed saying Dany Manouk hints that she'll be representing Australia at Eurovision. I was like what the? For everyone around the rest of the world who does not know who Dany Manouk is and for that I'm talking about anybody who is outside of Australia or the United Kingdom Let me tell you who Dany Manouk is Singer, actor, performer. She is the little sister of one of the greatest singers and performers that Australia has ever produced and that, of course, anyone in the gay community right now is losing their shit.
Speaker 1:
When I say those magical words Kylie Manouk or just Kylie, your heart starts bottom, bottom. Go look up, pardon, by Kylie Manouk, or can't get you out of my head. Or, on a night like this, check out those tight gold hot pants and you are going to see a living, breathing gay icon. The point is she has a sister not as successful, not as talented. When you want Kylie Manouk but you order from Wish, this is the Kylie Manouk you get you get Dany Manouk. Actually, that's a bit harsh. She's not Kylie Manouk, but I'm not sure she's Wish version. What's the when you want Harrods but you get Tesco's? I don't know. Look, she's not Wish pad, but she's not the icon that is Kylie Manouk.
Speaker 1:
I know for years there have been calls for Kylie Manouk to represent these last few years, australia at Eurovision. I've been saying it for years because she's actually lived in England, I think, for like the past 20 decades. I have never understand why the UK has not made it part of Kylie Manouk's visa agreements that she had to perform at least once to represent the UK at Eurovision. I think Kylie Manouk at Eurovision, it's just it was meant to be. I think it would be a guaranteed win. I don't know why you never got her on board, the UK, I mean.
Speaker 1:
So I read all of this. I'm like, oh my Lord, what is this? Danny Manouk could be representing Australia. I went to have a look. All of this started because it was a tweet. Eurovision actually announced the details for what the stage was going to look like the production designer, as well as the line intent designer, who they were going to be. It was very exciting. Danny Manouk actually retweeted a story about this and the actual tweet is along the lines of and the countdown begins. That was pretty much the tweet. That was not what I was expecting from all the multiple of articles that were in my news feed of like it's happening and he's going to represent a, I honestly think it's just Danny Manouk having a shout out to a brilliant stage designer and just saying, oh, we have a countdown until it's Eurovision.
Speaker 1:
To me, there's no subtle hint, there's so no subtle message that she's actually going to be performing, let alone for Australia. It's not like she put a picture of Australia Eurovision and a thumbs up and a secret. It's me wink. No, there's none of that. It's literally. She's put up a post saying that there is a countdown for Eurovision 2024. I honestly think that's all it is. I think it's her just making a post about Eurovision, although Danny Minogue not the most popular performer, not a huge following, look, certainly not at the height of her career. So, to be honest, actually, it does make sense that Australia would then try to wheel her out for Eurovision 2024, because if there's anything that Australian TV loves, it has been Ah, look, I'm not here to rain hate on Danny. I actually I don't mind Danny. She's carved out a great career for herself in the UK, but I think this is just a case of oh my lord, there is nothing to talk about.
Speaker 1:
On Christmas day, I didn't get what I want in my Santa sac. I'm going to try and drum up some news, just keeping it sweet and dangly this Christmas. Okay, sure, let's go with that sweet and dangly.
