    Two observations on the UK entrant.

    1 - The guy looked like he was "almost" an extra in Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels
    2 - He sang as if he was the guy running karaoke night, and was filling in time in between drunken revellers getting involved.

      Hmmm, total disagreement with Hitch - I have the Germans last/second last.
      Spain and Israel have wooden spoon potential.
      Israel may be saved by the panel wanting to be above all that nasty war business.
      San Marino may get flo rida backlash or equally likely a flo rida bump

          Oh Germany might very well be last in the actual votes. I am simply expressing the correct view that they should be winners, and are the moral winners.

                  Belgium has a genuine decent tune.

                      Be interesting to see if Israel is a golden ticket for SP & GAB, hard to see how they can score many points from the tele votes after the countries bad press of the last week.
                      Group 2 is surely a straight race between GAB and KKK.

                      DP and Ole for Group 1.

                          I think I like Azerbaijan M-m-m-m-Mata Hari more than Hitch does, can see it being comfortably mid-table.

Like say if we get approval and are going to be making bids all over the place hoping some work out - is that just us making the bids, or should it be done through a solicitor who acts on our behalf? I've heard conflicting views, so not really sure.

Plus also me having no clue about the whole process, admittedly.
