I do have to note that the BBC went all the way with it this year - they did not cut all the sponsors off at the end.

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... Sad

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!

Yeah the scoreboard and all the countries just doesn't work for widescreen.

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

It's because we are all independent in Western Europe and don't go in for this neighbourly voting business

We need to get France, Germany, The Netherlands, Austria etc to form a Western bloc and vote for each other

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?

What now for Scooch? Back to quiz TV for Russ then. Wink

Here's an idea.
I think people who voted for Scooch should be fined on TV Licence. Wink


I knew I seen him somewhere before, I was drunk last time I saw him on there though Laughing

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 .
