My gut instinct that the UK was heading for a disaster has been proved right. 19th out ot 24 - with only 25 votes (that's less than one vote per country!).

Makes Daz's own words (on the BBC website) sound interesting - <<< "If I can make it smoother for future UK acts to do well, then I can repair the bridges burnt by those absolute buffoons Jemini.

"If they were on fire I'd walk past those two. They disgraced this great country of ours in the world's greatest musical competition," says Sampson, who is certain he will not end up on the bottom of the heap in Athens. >>>

Maybe Mike Ward (Daily Express TV critic) summed it up best with the comment "Daz looks old enough to know better ........"

perhaps Richard Park and Kevin Bishop are not doing quite as well as I was in charge of the UK end!!
