The huge farce which is the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Belgrade this weekend and surprise surprise the eastern block countries voted for the neighbours resulting in a win for Russia. The United Kingdom entry, by Andy Abraham, came joint last (with Germany and Poland with just 14 points) as no one likes us, no matter how good the song was (not great but better than Spanish effort, some singing pirates and a 75 year old rapper).
I didn't actually watch it but the results are listed below. We were far too buy having a party for Sally's birthday (where I rewrote the words to the Kaiser Chief's Ruby, the horrendous results can be heard here, along with some photos - link. A lot more entertaining!
