Unlike Israel who have already held it.

Not as cringe-inducingly awful as previous years, but still not the same without Sir Terry's acerbic running commentary

Good night all!

I've got a shed load of bmi points to spend, and Baku is on their list of destinations

I could probably comp a few business class flights (minus taxes) if peeps are THAT interested...

Greece for me

I fear I may be getting worryingly too good at this

Last year my 3 songs I thought would do well all got in the top three, and on first listening on the web clips earlier this week "Running Scared" jumped out at me. I think it may have jumped out at me because of the opening chords/chord progression of the song, which is quite simple but seems instantly recognisable.

That is why I was banging on about it earlier in the thread (3rd post I think).

I also had doubts over whether France was too intelligent/OTT for Eurovision. Shows how the bookies can get it wrong.
Blue finished outside the top 10, which was as I expected.

Wish I had put money on Azerbaijan now.

Didn't put money on Lordi although I thought it would win Greece was favourite. (it did).
Put money on Latvia the other year (and it lost miserably)

It's been fun.

Baku next year then

My £25 went down the Swanee...think France finished 15th

We've managed 60-pages in the space of 4 hours, I think that's quite good going. Must aim for higher next year

I'm not saying it is dangerous, but according to that, the safest land border is via Iran!

I would have thought the Georgia land border was friendly?
