He gets a bit wearing, but I'd still be abhored if anyone else did Eurovision instead of 'Uncle Terry'. Its nice to have a limited dose of cynicism thrown in there, you get the impression every other country in Europe (or as the case may be, not in Europe) takes it deadly seriously. Though I wish he'd shut the hell up about the political voting. What was it he said after the results had been announced - "this is no longer a music competion"? Shut up Terry. We all know its political, Greece always votes for Cyprus and visa versa, and its not coincidence we've been last or in the bottom three every year since the Iraq War. To be honest, its all part of the fun, and watching those political votes come in is as reassuringly predictable as the Turkish entry being an hilarious joke.
