OK, so why didn't we come up with using an angle grinder to win the
Eurovision Song Contest?

It proves you cannot hope to win in 2010 with a song that would have
sounded naff in the mid-1980s.

The top 3 songs were all brilliant - none of them sounded anything
like a "Eurovision song". And the flash dancing all across Europe was
inspirational.

It was unlike any Eurovision event I have ever seen, and far better
than any before it.

View the second to last row of pictures. Sorry - couldn't find a video
of it.

(Should have phrased that as 'to *try* to win' - because neither they
nor we did actually win.)

I understand we came last (again). Excellent! Let's hope that our
position in this piece of TV tat is maintained.

Although it was touch and go right up to the last minute

neighbours

I didn't even do that. It's not the same without Wogan and his cynical
comments. [Remember "Dr Death and the Tooth Fairy"?]

Dunno - Graham Norton was tying his best, perhaps he wasn't ****ed
enough, but I kept on thinking "why don't you shut the **** up, unless
you have something interesting to say"
