We're resting
It's less than 3 hrs to the contest and we are in the press centre before moving onto the main thingummy - you remember that - the contest you fell in love with.
Apparently, so we hear, the BBC and Sky news are trying to do a stitch up job on the contest by claiming that it's all Eastern Europe blah, blah, blah and that the UK will do badly because of this blah blah blah!
GOD I HATE THE MEDIA OF MY COUNTRY.
A few pointers here :
1 - Andy Abraham will do badly because the UK don't know what song to enter in this contest.
2 - *IF* it's an Eastern European stitch-up, then why on earth has Russia registered ZERO wins? - Apparently they have the biggest diaspora - alledgedly!
3 - Last time I looked, it didn't matter about West and East because the last 2, and maybe 3 winners, had votes from everywhere!
4 - Has no one told tham that the old eurovision countries outnumber expansion countries 13-12?!
Excuses before we have even lost - blimey talk about priming for a defeat and getting your excuses ready!!
There endeth the rant!
Now back in the real world I expect one HELL of a contest tonight as has already been remarked upon - Enjoy it, I know I will ;)
