I was walking in the street listening to this year's Eurovision Song Contest entries.

A car stopped at a red light and I crossed the street. I noticed an unusual registration plate, looked at it closely and found out the car was from Andorra.

Andorra is taking part for the first time in the ESC this year. If memory serves me right, it will also be the very first time that a song is performed in Catalan at the contest.

Wait, a car from Andorra! I was about to put the Andorran entry on and bang on the window to show the driver that I was listening to Jugarem a estimar-nos, and wish Marta Roure good luck for the qualifying round on Wednesday.

I stopped in my tracks when I realised that my message of cross-European brotherhood was very likely going to be met with the unfriendly clunk of the car's central locking being operated by a panicked Andorran convinced he is about to be attacked by a raving lunatic.
