Ok, so watching Eurovision in a hotel room on my own with no booze is very sad, but I wouldn't miss it, it's fab! Amazingly we're coming second so far, halfway through the voting. Norway already look like runaway winners though.
Not too many comedy moments this year but Albania had a strange man in a green lycra suit cavorting with their singer, Moldova had morris dancers on speed, and Germany get my vote for their swing number and Dita von Teese's off-camera stripping.
Are people voting for us because they've changed the voting system to stop block voting, because they've got over the Iraq war thing (which was the excuse for nul points a few years ago), because the song is good or because Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jade have been on a European media blitz for the last few months? They're even giving away the single with a Russian mag apparently. That's the way to win it! Or at least to score some points.
