as long as we get more than no points

Okay - what is to be done about the political voting?! It is hilarious - poor Javine! I had three of the top five in my top five (Greece, Malta and Israel - Israel should have won).

It is the most awful show but fun at the same time!!

I know its awful but I'd much rather see my licence money go to pay for it than the FA cup final (or any fooball)

Where did they get those two presenters from? - I was ROFLMAO everytime they spoke

As for the political voting - it really ruins the competition

I also think Isreal should have won. I also liked the Latvian and Danish entries.
Javine never really had a chance - on top of the political voting the song didn't really stick in you mind.

My entire knowledge of Eurovision comes from that episode of Father Ted where Ted and Dougal sing the most godawful song ever and then win for Ireland, beating Father Dick Byrne and Cyril. So, this is probably common knowledge, but I'm wondering why Italy doesn't participate. Were they banned or something? Or maybe it's just that they didn't make it into the 2004 and 2005 contests (for which I have the CDs). But it certainly seems like every other European country is represented ... even Israel which, when did they become part of Europe?

Not all countries in Europe can take part as there would be too many, so a few days before they have a contest for all the countries that want to take part and the final ones are chosen for the big night, I think thats right! The countries that pay for it always get thru (UK, France, Spain, etc) cos they need us but then we dont usually get very many votes! If we didnt pay for it we probably wouldnt even get thru the first round!

That is such a great Father Ted episode. And the version of "My Lovely Horse" that they wanted to sing, but couldn't, was fantastic!! What a video!!!
