I knew I should have went out!

Before ThomasJ gets in, I'm gonna say it.........EUROVISION!!

Holy Sh**e! What the hell was that from Finland??? Most of the ahem..."songs" were, as usual, awful. But that Finland job was just taking the p**s.....badly. I know my metal and that effort was pure crap. It had more novelty than a matinee performance by Westlife. Made Slipknot look credible.
Obviously the "backward" music tastes of large parts of eastern Europe loved it and Ireland and the UK voted highly for it coz it has been doing the rounds and I think its safe to say that we have moved on from taking this outdated "contest" seriously. Im still laughing, but that could be the 2 bottles of vino.

Anyway, block voting is alive and well. I'd read about it and can honestly say that I havent watched Eurovision since the last time we won it with some little nimp singing in a nauseating high pitched tone. Can't remember her name. But I couldn't believe the sheer cheek of eastern europe and its isolationist mentality in the voting.............(opening third bottle)......when did all that lot start coming into it???

Bottom line and my uninformed and inebreated opinion on it. Eastern Europe and Scandinavia still thinks Heavy metal is relevent

And Eastern bloc countries wouldn't recognise a decent song if it bit them on the you know what! I can forgive them for that. But Scandanavia needs to start copin on a bit. Ah lads, Come on will ya. If its not poppy crap,(Roxette, A-Ha, overrated ABBA) its outdated, over acted and badly written muck posing as heavy metal, which was never great in its day anyway, except for a few pioneers, who have since realised that its had its day and its time to cut the hair and hang up the fender bender. Sure didn't that Scando band, Europe, get conscripted into an army so they couldn't inflict anymore pain on us? Final countdown alright......to oblivion. Thank God!

I say we bring back Johnny Logan and Dana next year. They can be a double act called LOGANS NUN. Johnny can dress up as a crazed monk with Dana in the black and white gear. Throw in a couple of guitars, few bottles of whiskey, a whip, some chains, a chainsaw and a cement mixer. Then we can sit back and watch Ireland blow the heads of eastern Europe and Scandanavia with an act of musical anarchy, wanton debauchery and total pandamonium.

At least Munster performed and won in an unbiased and relevent arena today. For that we can be thankful.

Time to leave the Eurovision to the newcomers and musically challenged countries. They've 30 years catching up to do and I think they need it.

I blame Bucks Fizz.
