Another fun evening of Eurovision, marred only by Terry Wogan's constant wittering, usually after the singers had begun to sing and always after their music had started, and his constant complaints about 'political' voting. During the interval entertainment of Serbian folk music that might have been quite pleasant, he didn't stop talking for a second, mostly about the retirement of someone no-one had heard of. Presumably it's only political if it's not to our advantage - when we picked up votes for our completely bland, pointless and crap song, he just chuckled whimsically (well that's how he thinks he sounds)... and in the good old days, when Cyprus, Malta, Ireland and one or two others still liked the UK enough to vote for them I don't recall any complaints...
So we aren't likely to win ever again. Wow. So just enjoy the camp, colourful, occasionally tuneful spectacle. We did. And if Terry no longer finds it fun, then for God's sake go and leave it to Paddy O'Connell who clearly enjoys it for what it is.
