The 50th Eurovision Song Contest
The worLd's most gLorious ceLebration of kitch, trashiness and petty nationaLism has just concLuded.

What a wonderfuL evening it was - my personaL vote went for Serbia and Montenegro, the Greeks (who won) were no where near as cLose to the true spirit of Eurovision i.m.o.

I feeL truLy sorry for the other countries, as they do not get the wonderfuL bonus of the bitchy commentary provided by the B.B.C.s Terry Wogan - who so heLpfuLLy points out when countries vote compLeteLy on the basis of their neighbours and friends rather than the best song.

I have a pLan by which the British couLd win once more. Given that Monaco and Andorra got votes - there is no reason why the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey and GibraLtar shouLd not get to vote, and they'd be bound to vote for us.

At Least we beat the French and Germans is aLL that I can say.
