Maybe now RTE will stop being so bloody po-faced about the whole thing and send a song that actually has a chance of penetrating the staggering degree of bloc-voting (a pipe dream I know, but stranger things have happened) for next year.
Oh and thanks for the nil points UK, much appreciated.
On the up-side though, the stage was breath-taking and Mikko the male host is absolutely gorgeous....yum!
Yes, Linda Martin looked absolutely desperate didn't she? I think she starved herself so she could fit inside one of Dervish's tin whistles where she planned to to jump out and grab the mic in case Cathy Jordan lost her voice mid-performance. But the plan was abandoned when she realised that Cathy Jordan didn't have a voice to lose.
Just a theory....
