Eurovision!

Do you mean from the time I kept pulling mingers and you recommended I write 'Begbie' on my hand every time I went out? I don't think I've done anything to compare with Meenzer's sexuality!

 

Well there's that, but what I was referring to was the fact that you take the term 'tree-hugger' to a whole new level.

I hope you had a rick-rocking time in Serbia Martin.

Just got in from the public reception for the winner in central Belgrade. 70,000 people singing along to the winner... it fair brings a tear to the eye, I tells ya. Even the repeated chants of "Serbia! Serbia!" weren't too intimidating.

I never cease to be amazed that people genuinely take this shit seriously.

Only watch this for Terry Wogan's craic. The contest itself is bollocks.

Which is why they win it and we send Scooch.

 

I know what you mean though. When it comes to my Euro-fetish, it's like when the stereotypical well-meaning girlfriend sees you getting worked up about the football and points out that it's only 22 men running around after a ball - you know there's a grain of truth in what they're saying, but it sort of misses the point a bit.

 

And besides, without Eurovision, the Gays would have to find some other vehicle for their Anthea Turner-inspired hostess and housewifery skills. Like, erm, the football. Maybe.

If you're referring to Meenzer's post, remember that Serbia is a country that's not had an awful lot to celebrate in recent years.

 

Although my grandmother was actually quite pleased when it split from Montenegro, I believe her exact words were 'good riddance'.

 

Anyway, beating the whole of Europe in what is has traditionally been little more than a popularity contest is quite an achievement.

 

Still, 70,000 though.

They'll be grateful when they feed them 12 points at Eurovision every year, if nothing else...

It's daft like:

 

 

By contrast, I think Katrina and the Waves were greeted at Heathrow by two Soho gays and their chihuahua. People are still whistling the bloody Serbian song all around town. I wouldn't put it past them making it the new national anthem.

Ukraine were robbed, robbed i tell ya's!

 

How the fuck did Serbia win?
