Not Sounding So Good: UK Last At Eurovision.
For the second time in three years, the UK has come last in the Eurovision Song Contest, despite the latest entry being masterminded by 90s pop guru Pete Waterman.Its not fair! Shurley shoome mishtake!!
Various tweets from proud Britons include:
"I awoke this morning to find we came last in eurovision. Top result."
I don't tell as many lies as the magic moose that lives in my toaster.
Just about sums up the UKs success, generally.

But everyone loves Father Ted. I think using it as a metaphor for the UK's success only works if it's ironic.

Everyone seems to blame it on politics, saying that we only come so low because we don't have any buddies to vote our crap up. One of these years we should put it to the test by entering a song that doesn't suck, see if it still fails to get votes.
Of alternatively we could forget the whole thing. Is it even funny any more, rather than just tedious and embarrassing?
To me it seems as anachronistic as Miss World, and we haven't put that on TV for a very long time.

Chatting to some foreign friends, they're aware of the British music scene, they're familiar with the hottest British bands. I don't think that credible, high quality British music is ignored or dismissed because of the country it comes from. If anything British bands punch above their weight overseas.
Of course that raises the question of why our Eurotrashvision entries are such utter crap. Hard to blame our European neighbours for giving us the cold shoulder when the songs we enter deserve to be in last place.
Maybe our crappy performance this year will encourage someone to actually create a half decent song for the next one.

I haven't watched it foe years to be bluntly honest. It strikes me when I see some news item on it that these days it is all about being glittery, dancing about and fancy costumes rather than what it was back in the days of Sandie Shaw, Cliff Richards, etc. It has lost it's previous pristine attraction.
Does it matter? Clearly Eurovision is ridiculous, have you seen the music scene on the continent it's laughable on the most part...
No more or less ridiculous than on "the island."
