26 October – Do whatchya whatchya whatchya want

You like a bit of controversy? Then look no further than today’s birthday. Should this have been in Vienna? Or was it a country too far – in every sense of the word.

Well, we can’t change history. This country débuted in 2015 in Austria. They got a special pass straight through to the Grand Final. They finished fifth in the Grand Final. Many – even Mr Phil of this parish – thought it might go higher. Of course, I’m talking about today’s birthday boy Guy Theodore Sebastian. Maybe it was apt that Austr(al)ia got their first entry in our favourite TV show in a country with an almost identical name. Should Guy have beaten Måns? I bet you feel conflicted.

Guy is 37 today.

Happy birthday, Guy!
