OK, so I know we're part of the community that pretty much subsidises the Eurovision, and Finland's never won before so this is is the first time ever in Helsinki, and it's so close, and we only live a couple of neighbourhoods away from the venue and all that, but the tickets sold out in like 9 hours, and we weren't in the country at the time and sheker kolshehu..
But, this weekend they picked the Finnish entry. And boy, does it look like we'll have a chance to see it in Helsinki again next year!!
On a much more positive note, the hosts for this year's contest have also been picked, and though the lady doing it is ok, the male host will be that fine specimen of Finnish genetics, Mikko Lemppalimpappimppeli. Those keeping track of this blog, may remember the time he proposed to me.
