UK act hits Eurovision low


Jemini say the result is 'laughable'
Pop duo Jemini are back in the UK after receiving the worst ever results for a UK act in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Following an off-key rendition of their song Cry Baby, Chris Cromby, 21, and Gemma Abbey failed to collect a single point from judges and finished last in the 26-nation competition held in Latvia.

The competition, held in the Latvian capital Riga, was won by Turkey's Sertab Erener, with the song Every Way That I Can.

Belgium took second place while the favourites, Russian act Tatu, came third.

Rumor has it they didn't make-out nor grope one another.

If you're not going to give it your all, you can't be expected to win.

What do you think of the new Italian Job movie? Should they have made a new version or not? Actually Kosmo….are you aware of the original with Michael Caine?

Markie - English
Mankie - English
Lulu - Scottish
Bungle Bud - English (I assume!)
Jag - Brother lives in England

That's all I can think of. I read the Brit newspapers and BBC online every morning, which is ironic because I can't remember the last time I read the Washington Post and I've lived stateside for over 17 years.

By the way…Ireland have won the competition more than any other country.

You would think that with the 297 channels America broadcasts, they could carry the 3 channels Europe has. (I love it when Europeans complain about American tv channels…..)
