Congrates Sweden for winning the contest .

I didn't watch it. It used to be good, but it's all boom bang a bang these days. Swedens most famous win was of course ABBA in 1974, so they do have a successful history there.

You didn't miss anything Chris was a total load of bo##iks and they kept showing that Conchita (he/she trangender I aint got a clue and DONT wana find out ) when the other anouncers were far better looking . Im happy had a online bet on Britain would get 5 points and I was right :-). Out of 27 3 songs were halfway decent , rest sounded like the blokes had their private parts in a vice being tightend and wel the wonen were like cats having a fight especaly Slovakia :-)

The Swedish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1958, held in Hilversum, the Netherlands.
Finished 4th with 10 Points.

Here is a wordless song ("Stoona"), written (and performed) by Duke Ellington, typical of the range and style of the great Alice Babs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exqB0den_fw

She was born as Hildur Alice Nilsson in 1924.
No wonder she changed her name.
Sounds like some valkyrian in a Wagner opera:)

Myth: Sweden is not a NATO member.
Reality: Sweden is a NATO "member".

Today starts Air Force exercise Arctic Challenge Exercise, commonly called ACE. The exercise is taking place from 25 May to 4 June. A total of 115 aircraft from eight different countries in the exercise, which will take place during the daytime.
Even before the exercise started, it has become the focus of a debate about Sweden and NATO, and whether other nations should exercise in Sweden or not.
Last time, in 2013, participated aircraft from Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK and the US Airforce Europe. This year also from Switzerland, France and Germany.
F 21 in Luleå will be one of the bases for this huge exercise. Exercise area consists of almost the whole of Västerbotten and Norrbotten, and parts of northern Finland and northern Norway. Main bases for the exercise becomes Luleå, Bodø and Rovaniemi. In total there are about 4 000 people participating in the exercise.

A number of Swedish experts predict that air exercise arouses discontent in Russia. Jacob Westberg, Senior Lecturer at the Swedish National Defence College, told Aftonbladet that cooperation with NATO is Sweden's private affair, no matter whether Russia think. On the other hand, many believe that such exercises only aggravate the already tense situation around the Baltic Sea and make Sweden a hostage in the international political game.

Next month, US bombers of B52 class are going to exercise bomb dropping along with Swedish Army.

B-52's Its amazing that no replacement for that aircraft has been developed. Im 62, That thing is as old as I am. And the USAF will still be flying it at least for another who knows how many years.
Tax payers sure did get their monys worth on that one.
