you're awful serious, Foots.

Balls told me I wasn't up to his standard (or hinted it anyhow).

but then what do I know, I still think Father Ted's 'My Lovely Horse' should have been an actual entry.

I presume an entry for Ireland?

Indeed.

I thought last saturday was just the UK choosing the song to represent the UK?

Yep, that was it. But the choice of song surely indicates the level of esteem in which the UK voting public hold the contest? In other words - yes, we do think its a joke!

The Voting on Eurovision is very amusing. For me its a more reflective view of where people in Europes loyalties lie than any vote in the European Union.

I LOVE Eurovision purely for the god that is Wogan and, of course, the blatant political voting!!!

Drink along with wogan. Ballies is what you want for that game. By the end of it, see how drunk he is compared to you.

The slovenian one was the WORST! Irish woman couldn't sing but actually only listening to Wogan! anyone else got the singalong words up? The translations are hilarious in places

Aren't they one of the countries that can't get chucked out cos they give too much money just like us! Incidently has anyone any idea why we plough so much money into this when we neither win nor care when we get nul points?
