Terry Wogan [and his wig? – Ed] is probably content that RTE didn’t progress to the Eurovision 2008 final, but he’s been delivering his usual dry commentary anyway – “just cling to the wreckage”. If you weren’t watching the festival on TV you could follow the live-blogging at the Guardian.. or you could have done both.. or neither.. Possible suggested winners, 15 minutes of voting ahead, Armenia or Ukraine [or Greece – Ed].. although I did like the French entry – others may differ in their view. The German entry was pants. Ditto Finland, etc, etc. Btw Russia won. And Terry “may quit”.[Is his contract up for renewal? – Ed]
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported.
