I think Germany was bottom last year - and top this year.

I don't think the UK deserved to come lastbut well done to Germany

I think it was the knitted sweaters the Norwegians were booing.

I can smell the German's lipstick from here

I agree, they didn't have the worst song. Do you think it is some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy because it tends to get such a bad press in the UK?

No, I think everyone else punishes us for invading Afghanistan

Not sure if the Norwegians are anti-Russian or just anti-vote-for-your-neighbour... They didn't seem too happy about all the balkan block-votes ether.

Most of Russia's votes were from the ex-soviet satellites as usual

Russia were pants - they shouldn't have got any votes, neither should Israel or Serbia. The UK weren't the best but by no means the worst, d'you think TPTB will realise that no-one likes Britain anymore and give up funding?

Oh hold on, we would give them 12 points though.

One last comforting thought, no country has ever won the World Cup and Eurovision in the same year.

Europe is a strange place.

It's a Lilly Allen song, is Germany's. That's ok. I like Lilly Allen.

Suddenly occurred that the Norwegian boing might be some kind of protest at the banning of a Gay Pride march in Moscow at the time of the Moscow Eurovision last year? Can't imagine what else the Norwegians have against Russia in particular.

Germany? *checks notes* Germany?

Oh go on. It was quite boppy.
