Well, what a disappointing night that was! Even the hostess’s dress changes weren’t up to the normal standard, although that said, the quality and entertainment value of some of the entrants was perfect. Amongst the flashing lights, comic entries, and over enthusiastic dancing, there was the odd entry that actually sounded like a proper song!

Deciding to play the Eurovison Drinking Game made it rather less cringe worthy! Each time Terry Wogan made a quip, a singer winked at the camera or dropped to their knees, fireworks were used in a performance or there was a costume change we drank! Needless to say, towards the end we were rather drunk…

The voting was definitely the most fascinating part of the show, with not many surprises as to who gave the 12 points to who (mainly each countries neighbouring country/s!)

I wonder, with all the ‘interesting’ voting going on – do the powers that be in each of the countries involved actually take any notice of this when making important decisions and policies….??

“Hmmm, we can’t decided what to do about this with XX country – I know lets see what points they gave us in Eurovision and then make a decision from there…” Personally I just can’t see that happening, and if it does, it’s really rather worrying!!!

Well, at least we weren’t bottom alone. I had had high hopes for Andy too, he was an entrant that could actually sing...

Personally I was rooting for France….or the ‘pirates of the sea’ from Latvia, or Norway as I liked her dress.
