So, a number 1 song, in several countries, wins Eurovision...with a Ninja Kate Bush.

What happened to Engelbert?

In reality, we beat Norway 1-0 in the footie, then beat them in Eurovision - just, does this count as 'the Euro double'?

    If performance in Eurovision and the European Championships are linked, the England players should book their holidays now.

    To me a 'Null Point' last place is the only honourable UK score from Eurovision!

    I think the songs should be heard first in the competion.

    Eurovision is a really big thing in Sweden, they all take it very seriously. When Swedes come to visit us, they're appalled at the generally disrespectful attitude Brits have to this great competition.

    They get properly upset about the dodgy voting too...

    Some Swedish comedienne apparently. Learn't Engilsh from our reality TV shows.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    +100 for the Swedish Margery Dawes. If s/he's presenting next year it'll be a must-see.
