We're having a financial crisis. And we have to pay for the European President already!

So... every Eurovision needs a toilet break. Well, with the explosion of countries taking part in Eurovision, every contest needs several of those breaks and frankly, we should all be grateful to to the countries who provide us with one. Not every country wants to "sacrifice" their chance of winning after all.

Thankfully for the other Eurovision countries, Belgium took its responsibility this year. It's not as if we have the money to host the contest next year, hell, it's not as if we have the money to stay in Norway beyond the semi final. Do you know what they charge for beer overthere? Crazy! So we might as well keep it cheap: send just the one guy, get an outfit from Oxfam and make sure he's back home bright and early on May 26th.

No need to thank us, Europe, really, it's our pleasure.
But we do apologise for the nasal whining you'll have to endure while you're getting out more booze or filling up the crisp bowls. Apparently it came with the deal. But don't worry, you'll forget what you heard in no time. While you're hearing it, in fact.
So we do limit the horror to the minimum.
Test it, you'll see I'm right.
