Eurovision
Well, no of course I didn’t watch it. Bad enough was the fact I am no great lover of the contest anyway (although the flatmate kept me updated with various Woganisms which were entertaining enough) but also the fact that Doctor Who got delayed for a week because of it.
Bastards.
I did, however, tune in for Scooch’s performance once I heard the strains of it emanating from the flatmate’s room just to see what the big twist for the performance on the night would be.
Oh yes: two extra dancers and all the eurovision flags over the trollies instead of just the Union Jack – inspired!
To be fair I don’t think it deserved the place it did. As a song our entry has rather grown on me and it is everything a traditional eurovision song should be: simple, infectious, meaningless and chirpy, but given our standing on the world stage at the moment I’m not sure a song about British nationalism was ever going to do wonders.
I honestly think we should give up.

The suggestion now is to split the UK into England, N. Ireland, Scotland and Wales….I presume so that we can vote for each other…..by which time I may have lost the will to live.

Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland voting for England?
Hmm. I’m not sure how sound this theory is you know…

Got something to say?
I absolutely agree with you. I didn’t watch it, I read about it the papers. I had been looking forward to the bitching they would get, but I think also we should give up. I can feel myself get into a political debate here but I wont..I will give up also.
