I almost spat my coffee out when it became glaringly apparent just how “butt hurt” Norway still is from the UK not giving any votes to Norway in the ESC last year.

In the long list of odds, I saw one, just one entry, which said “ender Storbritannia pĆ„ sisteplass i finalen?” – For non Norwegian speakers, that says “Will England come last in the finals? followed by the option to vote and win some money.

Best laugh I had all day šŸ™‚ serious business this Eurovision yes sir!
For what it’s worth, I’m British and I think Norway did deserve a good vote šŸ™‚ but not sure Alex’s song is winning material this time around amid some strong competition.
