From one fecked country to another - douze points

The new 50% jury/50% phone is working. Bloc voting is being controlled at last

It's not being controlled that much, look at where the points for Bosnia are coming from.

I think it's diaspora voting rather than bloc voting anyway.

Yes the Norwegian diaspora has really flexed its muscle tonight, Maggie Thatcher can you hear us! you're boys took one hell of a beating!.

Wow that must be the biggest landslide victory in the history of the competition? Congrats to Norway and Alexander Rybak. He performed well and was definitely one of the classier acts. Good luck to the kid.

I broke even on my bets so my Norwegian insurance paid off. Just goes to show how clued in the bookies are.

Here's to 2010 and an Irish victory...

Now back to politics

So, next year we need to send an Irish bloke on the fiddle.
No shortage of candidates!

Clued in?
They had Iceland at everything from 18-1 all the way to 25-1+

And they must have gotten seriously burnt with Norway's odds shortening all the way to the final.

Fair play to Rybak. It was the perfect Eurovision song. Not even Johnny Logan could have delivered it better...

And at least Iceland can sell Yohanna into slavery to help make those IMF repayments.
