    there might just be enough spread of jury vs public votes to mean it would be anyone out of maybe 5-6 countries, and that sort of already could be good for Ireland…

    This is good too. Might revise my finishing positions and go Croatia, France and Austria.

    Great song from Austria - early 90’s Haddaway/Capella/Culture Beat vibes.

    Enjoyed that from Austria. There's a section that 100% rips off Prodigy though.

    Send it by Fastway and they can feck* it over my next door neighbour's wall.

    [*] a hiberno-English verb which means throw, steal, or go away - not a minced oath for fúck as many non-Irish Fr. Ted fans think. That didn't help my sis on her exchange visit to Germany in the 80s as "feck" sounds almost exactly like "fick" which is German for the very bad F word, father.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    France

    Switzerland

    Netherlands

    Hope Ireland does really well but it’s not really my taste.
    Note: showing the recap of Bambi - why show the screaming part once again?

    Graham Norton crying out for people to vote for the UK, I wouldn't be surprised to see it get nothing.
