Hard. Rock. Hallelujah.

(Five million people were speechless and stunned for a good 15 minutes before they got the party started).

Oh man that was fun!! I only caught the voting at the end but saw Lordie doing their song. Fantastic! I was giggling the whole time.
I know I'm late - where's the booze?

Did anyone else print off the score cards from the BBC website?  You could score on song, performance, dance routine (what few there were) and outfit, and for any of you who missed all of the fun, they have it all on here ~> www.eurovision.tv  :P  Probably no comments from Terry Wogan though.

It does tell you who Will and Grace (the terrible presenters) were, constantly talking over each other and everyone!

I turned it on briefly just to see what was going on and saw a man wearing what appeared to be a gold lamé suit. Would that perchance have been Will? ;)

Lots of wine helped but I thought it was fab.  ;)

We tried the BBC interactive sing-along but didn't do so well with it. Actually maybe that was the wine, too.

Yes, that would have been Will.   ;D

Did anyone else notice that Grace was too scared to go say hello to Finland when she was in the Green Room?  hehe

 the best bit about the eurovision is the genius that is Terry Wogan,and his comments especially when all the voting is political,eg  Greece voting for Cyprus, the scandanavian countries votinf for each other and the same with the baltic countries. i just wish the USA and Canada were in we might get some points then lol ;D
its a far better thing i do than i have ever done
