The Importance of Being Idle

I Did NOT See That Coming

Hmmmmm so Greece won then. I mean, I know it was the pre-show favourite, and heavily favoured by the bookies, but I am damned if I can see (or hear) why. The early results in the voting were pretty exciting with lots of countries vying for the lead, but by the end it was pretty clear that Greece had won and no-one was going to catch them. Malta did however do well, they were second or third I think, so I guess the whole fat chick approach wasn't as whacky as it at first appeared. It was a pretty damn good Eurovision all round, but now its over for another year. One thing I did notice though, was that I wasn't anywhere near as prepared as usual this year. I didn't know the songs at all, couldn't remember which country was which... I need to prepare better for next year... in Greece!
What was interesting to notice was that the four countries who came bottom (Spain, France, Germany and the UK) are the ones who actually put up the money for this show. I got the feeling that all the little countries don't really like us all that much... And yeah, we did put in an appalling showing, AGAIN.
It was disappointing that there hasn't been a 'fifty years of Eurovision' documentary though, I would've enjoyed that.
Okay its like after 2am now and I really should be getting some sleep. Not really all that tired though...
