	haven't watched it for years now - not since countries started voting politically instead of voting for the best entry!!

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 5,899 Send Message	I usually watch it with the subtitles as what they sing just doesn't make sense - in English A nice bottle of wine helps too :-) I don't think we will ever win again - just wondered why we contributed !

	love the Euro we usually turn it into a family gathering with bets who will win. We have not a chance in hell of winning but it's still a good laugh. Elvis reincarnated could represent UK and we still wouldn't win.

	The worst thing about it is Terry Wogan. The second worst thing is the songs. The third worst thing is the politics. Can't think of anything good about it at all.

	Why do we go in for it in the first place Penny.......the voting seems political to me, and neighbouring countries always vote for each other anyway..... sally
