Eurovision

Now here's a sign of the times - in the Eurovision Song Contest, Ireland has given its top marks to Lithuania. Is this confirmation that more Lithuanians live here than in their old country?

Disappointingly, the Irish in their wisdom also gave some points to the UK, who had been heading for nul points at the time (and in the process, leaving their hapless Dervish bottom!).

Surely this voting was also an example of the traditional Eurovision voting for neighbouring countries/political allies, which annoys Terry Wogan so much, but the Limerick knight did not mention this in his commentary. He seems to think Scooch's failure to win votes was some sort of sinister Eastern Bloc/Commie plot. Maybe he's right.

And at the end, the treasonous Sir Terry has the audacity to say "At least the UK didn't come last - that honour falls to Ireland!"
