Dami Im wins the Eurovision frock contest!
There’s none so funny as life itself…
Within weeks of Britain voting on whether it wants to remain in the European Union, Australia it appears, quietly snuck in through the backdoor.

We cut to the 8am newsheadlines and the big announcement that Dami Im
has lost out in the popular vote. What?????
Where were the BoatyMcBoatface voters when we needed them?
Oh, of course, they were off their faces
having had one too many in the drinking games…
So we last see Dami, sobbing into her frock
‘I don’t understand what happened?’ she says.
Ermm welcome to Eurovision2016 Dami.
The tradition continues…
