Nul points

Breaking news. Britain's song apparently got NO VOTES AT ALL in the Eurovision Song Contest.

That could be wrong. But when I checked half an hour ago the UK definitely had no votes, and other countries had over a hundred, and on Liquid Eurovision they were making "no points" jokes.

Yes, by gum, it's true.

I don't watch the tunes, but this year I ignored the voting as well, which I usually like to have on. I was watching the DiCaprio/Danes Romeo/Juliet, and only checked Eurovision during one of the commercial breaks.

UPDATE: Samizdata links to this.
