A few songs last night I thought were quite good - Belarus might be on to a top 3 with their ditty. Czech Republic was quite good but sounds like it should be from us and Australia might do well with their lady swinging about gimmick.

I think it’ll be a toss up between Sweden and Azerbaijan although I never get these things right. The Netherlands is bookie's favourite.

I've just finished watching the 1957 contest (2nd edition) on YouTube. It's well better than most of the drivel you get nowadays!

It'd be rather annoying if they won it because it'd be on at 9am our time. That wouldn't feel right.

It's not allowed to be hosted in Australia. From what I've read, Germany is the first choice to host it (presumably with Australian hosts and some Australian $ towards the costs) but if they pass, it's the UK, which would be good for us as we're never likely to win the damn thing ever again.
