Terry is our main man in Essex and all over England. He can take and give like a true blue. Eurovision will be only mighty this year. Terry will look after our very own “cearc fhrancach” as we goggle BBC.

All we gotta do now is impress on them that Dustin is a South-sider.
A white south-sider but I voted for him in in 1990, so what de eck

I’m a black north-sider
as in: De Oirish is the blacks of Europe.
De Dubs is the blacks of Ireland.
And de north-siders ..

Welcome, Walltoall! I would love to hear Terry Wogan’s opinion! I can’t wait for the night when he introduces a turkey to the stage [assuming he can stop laughing long enough ]

I didn’t notice it was a toilet seat, but I recognised the photos alright!

Does anyone know what the actual voting percentages were????

I was making dinner and was looking through the “Gallery” section of the Irish Times - the frame behind Dustin as he was performing his winning song was actually a transparent toilet seat with pictures of the Irish Eurovision winners!

Ian - A hell of a lot! They both have the right idea about democracy. I am also supportive of the “Dustin for Taoiseach” movement.

Grandad,

Thank you for the link, anyone clicking it will be utterly confused as to what Winston Churchill has to do with Dustin!

I am kind of hoping that having cocked a snook at the European establishment on Eurovision, the Irish public might also vote down the Lisbon Treaty, not because I have any views for or against, (and the “Yes” campaign are helped greatly by Sinn Fein and Patricia McKenna urging a “No” vote), but because I don’t like the way that politicians in other countries have refused their people a right to vote on it. If it is a good deal, then let everyone have a vote - just like Eurovision.

Spaghetti - There is nothing wrong with drumming up a bit of extra trade. It’s called enterprise.

Sneezy - They may be, but the song contest isn’t.

Natalie - That’s quite all right. I don’t think anyone knows what the Eurovision is these days.

Hubby and i were MIGHTY confused, we did not even know what Eurovision was and when we saw Dustin, well we did not know what was going on, thanks for the insight. Feel much better now!
