He quit live on air didn't he? Accusing Eastern Euro/Russia of bloc-voting iirc

I'll go one further than LG - I liked him doing Eurovision, and can barely listen to Graham Norton.
Ruined it more like, insisted on treating it as a big joke long after it had ceased to be a joke, xenophobic old fart, and what's with these Union Jack waving Irishmen and who are more British than the British, sure didn't a few of youse die so you didn't have to wave the Union Jack anymore?

He stayed to the end of the particular show.
So, bloc-voting means that the same countries win every year, right?

People forget that his chat show was a total dog too, and the Beeb kept dragging it on and on in the hope that it would get better, but it never really did. I hear he was good on radio though.

That's why it was stupid. iirc someone did a few sums and there was no conspiracy as such. It was just xenophobic shit.

Of course, still better than Jonathan Ross.

Och, not so bad. They're always terrible. These statues.

I was there. Briefly, and hungover, but I witnessed

Microphone size and placement looks... wrong
I guess it's no worse than the average but the brown leather jacket colour is pretty nasty

Not only is the microphone slightly, er, odd looking it's not even the microphone associated with Wogan, that would the long thin one he used on Blankety-Blank. Of course it would be forever being snapped off by assorted scallywags and wrong 'uns which I'm sure are as prevalent in Limerick as they are anywhere else - maybe more, I know nothing of Limerick tbh.

It's missing a certain something
