Just been reading a very interesting article on voting patterns at Eurovision which seems to suggest that there are definite patterns as to how countries vote. There's quite a bit of maths for the first bit and then some coloured charts lower down in case the maths bit is all greek.

BTW, I'll let you all into my secret for picking my entry once it's kicked off. If this works, I may patent my idea & extend it to my World Cup entry.
Even if you come last?
Was having a look back at my performance in this, and 3 times I've been on the podium, and the other 3 times I've finished up in the relegation places.

My idea for picking my entries came from looking at how many Youtube hits each video had. Simply pick the 5 countries with the most hits. If this works, it's going to mean that I had better start now seeing how popular each player is on Youtube. Can't fail.
So the ones with the women\men in least clothes and gayest looking men\women? Well and the 5hittist vids, lol.

Sounds a good plan. I got my tips from online poll.
My form in this had been appalling though.

UK could well win this as the song was so bad. Also the rest of Europe could vote for the UK as next Eurovision the UK are out of the EU and what better way to humiliate the UK by making it pay to host the next event after it turns its back on Europe.

Or vote Australia, and do it without us winning.
