It has been a standing joke for many years that Finland would only win the Eurovision Song Contest when hell freezes over (This was such a well known fact that it was even part of my lesson material!). Well, I guess yesterday was a very cold day in hell Laughing Laughing Laughing

(Darn, I have to adapt my lesson materials) Confused

I missed it! First year I have since I can't remember when!

Where did the UK come - I haven't read the papers yet?

Is it true that the finnish word for gorilla is gorillee? (sp)

I believe the UK came in 19th

Gorilla in Finnish is just "gorilla" but due to the Finnish suffixes the ending may vary like gorillan ("of the gorilla"), gorillani ("my gorilla"), gorillanikin ("also my gorilla"), gorillaan ("to the gorilla") etc, etc.

Finland won my a large margin and with the largest number of points ever (due to a new voting system). There must be more hard rock fans out there than I thought (or just people bored with the usual Eurovision copy-crap). Let's see if we will see Lordi clones next year in Helsinki Very Happy
