Well... I have never voted in any of the public votes to select
our Euroweirdo entry and never will. I might have been tempted
to vote for PiL last year if John Lydon could still sing. But
his singing voice is past its best, plus the song was shit.

I don't vote for anyone on Eurovision night either. If I'm at
home and it's on I just laugh at all the odd-balls prancing
around like peacocks and watch the carnage as the various
countries announce their votes and settle old scores with their
politically motivated decisions!

It's entertainment Jim, but not as we know it.
