Good old Grauniad


This taken from a Guardian press release on the result of today's A Song For Europe:
<< ITV presenter Jonathan Maitland has defied all the odds and made it to the final stages of the competition to find Britain's entry for the European Song Contest. >>

European! Ha, ha, ha!
Britain's! Oh god, will someone tell them it's the whole UK?

Jonathan says they were huddled around a radio, with a TV crew filming them, awaiting the results, when the successful songs were revealed in alphabetical order;
<<"and as soon as we heard I Give In, we knew." said Maitland.>>
Er, yes Jonathan, because that's the title of your song. Well done mate.

The article also says;
<<"technically the Eurovision Song Contest is a song-writer's competition.">>

Or even "a songwriters' competition". Strewth!
