I will be needing some cheering up cos ds will be off to daddys house in about an hour and what better way than a bit of Terry Wogan and a few nil points??? :D

    Hi Benben - To be perfectly honest, it's really only Terry Wogan's cynically funny commentary that makes me even watch Eurovision. But watch it I will.
    I don't think much of the UK entry's chances - unless, of course, we are aiming for the wooden spoon :rolleyes: .
    In saying that, though, I really do admire the effort put in by some countries - especially the smaller ones. I don't think they realise the cost implications if they win, and have to host it next year. :eek: :eek:
    Still it's good entertainment - we'll all be watching, and the best of luck to everyone.:beer:

    Terry wogan makes me laugh every time... Do you remember that 'dana international' that won a few years back...? Now THAT was funny.

    I still think Lordi are by far the best eurovision entry ever... :D

    Agree with you there I_A - didn't they get a grand total of 'nil points' the previous year, though? :confused:

    The COUNTRY of course - I just couldn't remember the name. :rolleyes:
    It is strange that 99% of Eurovision songs are instantly forgotten, but the odd one comes along, such as Lordi, and you remember the song, but not the country.

    PS - I think it was Denmark:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
