Anyway, Spiinaal Taap. Now, it is only when I realise that I cannot watch the greatest living Irishman presenting Eurovision on TV.

One can technically watch over the internets, but the stream was unavailable for me, so I contented myself with Ken Bruce.

According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2001" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>, my fellow countrymen weren't amused and the Beeb had to issue an apology on behalf of Mr. Wogan. (That will teach you a lesson: <em>Never</em> make fun of the Danes. We have <em>no</em> sense of humour <em>at all</em>). These days, Dr. Death appears in TV commercials for the Danish Railways while the Tooth-Fairy has moved on to anchor Danmarks Radio's flagship Sunday evening news magazine.
