Euro-Vulsion is cr*p anyway.
The Turkey sums it up well!

OK, it can get pretty dire, but Terry Wogan`s commentaries on the proceeding have almost made it worth watching.

Maybe Terry's Wig should fall off
then it will get the Front Page.

Dana is calling for Ireland to pull out of the competition, citing the turkey as an insult to all the poor singers and musicians who work desperately hard to get on the thing for their big break.

I know the turkey will get 12 points from the British voters, but which other nations do people think will share the humour in this? Lithuana, probably (once they've given their obligatory 12 & 10 points to Estonia and Latvia) - they are pretty wacky there. Not Germany, of course. Maybe Finland?

So we came last. And Russia came first. So that can can only mean Johnny Foreigner has cheated us good honest British yet again.

There was a good observation on Radio 5 Live this morning - something like "Russia put up an established top-drawer performer, and we put up a binman."

I've never like Wogan's attitude in his presentations of Eurovision over the years. Not just his dismissive attitude towards the voting patterns, which I agree is present to some extent, but towards non-British performers - there always seems to be a slightly sneering or patronising attitude.

And now Wogan's suggesting western European nations should abandon Eurovision: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article4004339.ece
I say we should abandon Wogan and bring in a Serb or a Hungarian in his place who would do a better job of presenting.

Next year the UK will be represented by LTNS with a song called
Wogan is a Zombie
I've been going out with a tramp,
His name is Julie
But last night he said to me,
When we were watching telly

(This is what he said)

He said listen LT, I love you
But there's this bloke, I fancy
I don't want to two time you,
So it's the end for you and me

Who's this bloke I asked her
Teeeery, she replied
Not THAT Zombie, I said dismayed
Yes but he's no Zombie he cried

(He's more of a man than you'll ever be)

Here we go, two three four

I was so upset that I cried,
All the way to Starbucks

When I came out there was Terry,
Standing at the bus stop

(And guess who was with him? Yeah, Julie, and they were both laughing at me)

Oh, he is cruel and heartless
To pack me for Terry
Just cos he's better looking than me
Just cos he's cool and trendy

But I know he's a Zombie, Terry is a Zombie
Terry is a Zombie, Terry is a Zombie


Tune by Jilted John
