Eurovision rewatch 8th April (20:00 BST): Riga 2003

I'm glad Graham Norton took over. He's come to quite embrace the event in a way I think Wogan never did. Different era, Wogan did outstay his welcome.
 
I’ve started to go off Graham though, I remember him saying it was unfair that we finished last last year.

He has to say stuff like that though, the BBC won't keep employing him if he talks about how shit we are.
 
I lost it with Wogan where, after the Swedish performance, he stated it would “get the BALTIC vote”. If you’re gonna moan about block voting, at least be FACTUALLY CORRECT.

Yeah, he can get a bee in his bonnet if he doesn’t like a particular song, but there’s a genuine fondness for the contest that Wogan absolutely lost.

Wogan, lest we forget, was responsible for Andy Abraham in 2008. A greater act of malice the contest has never seen.

I think it's probably for the benefit of the act/ writer/ those involved. I'm not hating him for it.
 
It's annoying how much of the good old shit isn't on Spotify, isn't it?
 
Maybe he‘s got an Only Fans account. He’s not exactly releasing hit after hit nowadays.
 
Also impressed that he only took 18 months to recover from the shame and became a shop manager.
 
Denmark last year was monstrous but she was clearly a cult so I wasn't surprised that she didn't come last. I think I may have mistyped a word in that last sentence.

Benmark were terrible.
 
How hard is it to make 14 posts so we can forget about said gaping hole forever.
 
I found this whilst googling "gaping"

Has @The Sexual Goose opened a hostelry :o

Although a ripped out fireplace can't be described as SLOPPY.

Unless it was sloppy workmanship.
 
I’ve got a HOT STAT to bring us into 2,000 posts.
The Irish backup jury had to be used and because it was SO CLOSE Russia kicked off and said they would have won if Ireland had sorted their televote out properly. Well this turned out to be FAKE NEWS, as it still wouldn’t have been enough because Irish televoters gave Russia 0. However, they would have swapped places with Belgium and come 2nd:


If not the back-up jury points but the televoting points were awarded during the Eurovision Song Contest, the final outcoming would have been as follows:

1. Turkey 167
2. Russia 164
3. Belgium 157
4. Norway 119
5. Sweden 114
6. Austria 113
7. Poland 90
8. Iceland 84
9. Spain 81
10. Romania 77
11. Germany 55
12. Ireland 53
13. Netherlands 43
14. Ukraine 30
15. Bosnia-Herzegovina 27
16. Greece 24
17. Croatia 23
18. France 19
19. Israel 17
20. Cyprus 15
21. Portugal 11
22. Latvia 10
23. Estonia 7
23. Slovenia 7
25. Malta 1
26. United Kingdom 0
