Angle Grinder Latest

OK, so why didn't we come up with using an angle grinder to win the Eurovision Song Contest?

(Turkish entry.)

It proves you cannot hope to win in 2010 with a song that would have sounded naff in the mid-1980s.

The top 3 songs were all brilliant - none of them sounded anything like a "Eurovision song". And the flash dancing all across Europe was inspirational.

It was unlike any Eurovision event I have ever seen, and far better than any before it.

View the second to last row of pictures. Sorry - couldn't find a video of it.

(Should have phrased that as 'to *try* to win' - because neither they nor we did actually win.)

I understand we came last (again). Excellent! Let's hope that our position in this piece of TV tat is maintained.

Although it was touch and go right up to the last minute

That sounds a rather sordid practice .....

Didn't watch it - I just turned over for the scoring

... with google earth on the computer , to see who voted for their neighbours

[Roger Mills]

I didn't even do that. It's not the same without Wogan and his cynical comments. [Remember "Dr Death and the Tooth Fairy"?]

Dunno - Graham Norton was tying his best, perhaps he wasn't pissed enough, but I kept on thinking "why don't you shut the f*ck up, unless you have something interesting to say"

Tautology that, isn't it, on the ESC?
