It was like some sort of sketch out of the High Life.
Except the High Life people knew they were being funny!
That young lad for Serbia was fairly good, I'll give him my vote.
Yeah, lad...
Sweden for me. Nothing else really stood out.
Latvia for me just before the voting startss
oops
Dervish were as brutal as feared
Could she not buy herself a pair of shoes?

We'd probably have given 12 to Poland if they were in it.
We've become as bad as everyone else...
Wasn't their King from the same planet as Zig and Zag?Quote:

Heads should roll for this travesty!
Thank God there is an election coming up so we can sort out this shambles!I've always thought that decent points from the UK were a shoe-in because of the huge Irish population who over here.Quote:

Ah, so the young fella won, fair play to him. I wonder how much of a strain it'll be on Serbia to host it.
Something has to be done with the voting system. This competition gets worse every year.
This for me was the funniest Euro Vision moment ever, we gave the UK their first points and the max to the Lithuanians, talk about shooting yourself in the foot, a real Father Ted moment. Next year we should get some of our visitors from Eastern Europe to sing for us.Quote:

Why not? They're a country just like Germany. Giving pro-rata votes according to how large your population is isn't going to solve anything.Quote:

Although the juy system wasn't exactly without block voting either.
Maybe just force the USSR and Yugoslavia back together again?
Um...you are being funny at this stage?Quote:
