The song its self was pretty shite, but maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if the woman could actually sing in tune!
What was with the chains round her back side???????

I don't really hear anybody or newspapers say much about Britain, it's all mostly France and Germany. As far as the EU is concerned, the Brits by opting out, as the Danes and others, of the Euro, have sidelined themselves, .- before anybody bites my head off - I'm talking about what I read and hear not necessarily what I think about this - sure Blair is seen as Bush' closest ally and his decisions not always liked, but he's also seen as the much more pragmatic and approachable and there's definitely no feeling of hate towards the UK here.

Just because people want to do different things to you doesn't make them sad. Each to their own I think. If we all wanted to live in the same place then we would have serious overcrowding problems somewhere. We've tried Canada and they all say they want to come to England or the USA. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
There are so many things in the UK that people take for granted!! But I still think that anyone who does want to go abroad has to definitely go, because it is something that you need to try for yourself..

You are leaving the UK because you are a refugee (reject), the British Music Industry is second only to America , it even made a talentless girl like Kylie a star .
Sending Buskers from Liverpool to a no count Euro song contest hardly refects the British music Industry.
Beating Australia 3 years running at Rugby is not winning anything?
