Eurovision

Another year another Eurovision. The reason the Uk never wins is because either a) it's all about politics and Iraq or b) everyone votes for their neighbours and being an island nation we don't really have any, except the Republic of Ireland (and they did give us a few points). Truth is that all the songs, singers, acts were (and always are) s*h*i*t*e, each as much as each other and each other as much as the winning Ukrainian entry. Two bottles of (3 for a tenner) Blossom Hill down though and the evening was highly amusing. Terry Wogan should be knighted for services to sarcasm, "I wonder if they are too subtle" being a classic example as leather clad warrior princesses strutted and grinded and warbled. Strutted, grinded and warbled their way to victory over Europe. Go Ukraine. Roll on Eurovision 2005.
