I knew it - if only Terry Wogan had been correct in announcing Cyndi as our representative on 17th March, I am convinced we would have not finished second bottom! But regardless of what we enter, with all this bloc voting going on, we have no chance of ever winning this thing again, ditto France, Spain, Germany, Ireland etc.
Still, thank goodness the Ukranian Timmy Mallett didn't win - and what was going on with that scoreboard? I practically needed a magnifying glass to make out the scores!

Oh dear...there was a simple choice between a song that would have seen the UK finish in the top half of the Eurovision scoreboard...and one that would see us in the bottom half.
And for a precious few seconds it looked like the Great British Public had actually chosen the correct one.
Still, there's always 2008...

It may suprize you BUT the presenters were Terry Wogan and Ulrika Jonsson in 1998!

Well done Serbia but I hate you. Even though I have no sympathy for this country, I'm proud of them, mostly because they didn't come last, and poor Wogan seeing his hometown come last.
However it didn't surprise me that Ukraine was the bookies' favourite. Who can resist that cool happy upbeat tune and that costume that looks like the results of throwing Tin Man and Dame Edna in a washing machine?

It's always useful to look back.

It's ridiculous to think that some people actually think Cyndi's dull rip-off of 'You Raise Me Up' could actually get us anywhere on the scoreboard.
Granted, she has a powerful voice, but it was completely wasted on this song, and in Eurovision.
I'm just so happy for David of Scooch - I'm good friends with him, and when I see him tomorrow I shall congratulate him - I think THAT's more likely to get us the votes .
