I really wouldn't go that far.

At the start of the show, when those two presenters descended from the ceiling onto the stage, I totally lost it. I was still recovering from the sight of dolphins doing forward rolls around the stage.

I wish now I'd played a drinking game - a shot every time one of the presenters said the show was 'amazing'.

They need to scrap countries who don't get past the semi-final being allowed to vote. You're supposedly not allowed to vote for your own country, but what's to stop someone living in Northern Spain popping to Andorra, or from Southern France to Monaco?

They were a bit tongue-tied weren't they? I said to my husband "they need to join my synonym lesson, they'd go away with at least ten words that mean the same as amazing.

However, if they were presenting in their second language, they did pretty well. if I was presenting in French or Spanish, I would not get very far!

I don't get you. Who isn't allowed to vote for their own country? How does moving countries make any difference?

The results are decided by phone-in vote, but there is no number given to vote for your own country - so I could not have sat at home and voted for the UK. However, if I got on a plane to Ireland I could vote for the UK from there. What I'm saying is that while flying to Ireland is going a bit far to vote in the Eurovision, if you can just pop round the corner and you're in another country, it's easy to do.

How do they know where people live? Surely it's not hard to receive German television from say Strasbourg, which is in France. I know when I've been in Sweden I've watched Norwegian TV programmes.

I'm not sure you've thought this through.

I think the phone in vote was just to generate money. Those votes are not taken into acount. It's all political.
