Hello dear reader. I’m afraid I have rather neglected you today. I’ve only just made it to the press centre and have not had any wifi connection all day. But he we are, after a lovely boat journey over where they encouraged the passengers with a patriotic rendition of Basim. I saw him this afternoon at the Eurovision Village where he was introduced as being a good influence for children. They seem to have forgotten that the original version had him singing that his love song was a fucking cliche, baby. Clearly a good influence in Denmark includes teaching children to be potty mouthed. It’s a fucking disgrace if you ask me.
So anything could go through tonight, really, yes, even Georgia if San Marino made it. My 10 for the Serviette of Doom are: Malta, Israel, Norway, Poland, Austria, Finland, Macedonia, Switzerland, Greece, Romania. My average seems to be 7 or 8 out 10 so come back later to ridicule me.
Enjoy the show. We might even bring you some video reactions later if you’re lucky.

My 8-year-old niece just came back from a school trip to Denmark. I asked her what she thought of the Danish music scene. She said: “yeah, not bad, but that Basim, what a curly-headed c**t”.
