 The stupid turkey was intended as a deliberate insult
to Eurovision and the Eurovision has still not
forgiven Ireland for that.

 Dustin was a super star in Ireland! He's had six Number
1 hit singles here, six! Dustin was BIG. (On our little
island anyway.) Winning the public vote to represent
Ireland was not a surprise or done as an insult per se.
But not everyone gets our quirky Irish humour.
 Sending Jedward OTOH... I think the plan there was to
send them to the Eurovision in Germany and hope that
they stayed there!

 Which way to vote.

 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.

 The English Entry ...

 There is no English entry. This isn't the World Cup or European
football.

 the UK is composed of 4 nations.

 The UK is one country, unless you think Texas is an independent
state in North America.

 Northern Ireland, Scotalnd, Wales and England are 4 nations that make
up the United Kingdom.

United Nations *ONLY* mentions The United Kingdom. The Olympics Games *ONLY* mentions The United Kingdom!!
So it seems Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England are *ONLY* important in The Commonwealth Games and The World Cup .... oh! And in their own minds!! ;-P
