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.
And with a massive 12 points all round
Our Sunrise breakfast TV was calling it as a
‘Dami Im victory‘ in Eurovision2016…
That was until the popular vote came in.
At the point of ‘By Jove, I think she’s done it’
Dami was interviewed and asked what she would do if or when she won?
Her reply, that she would ‘have a lemonade’ with her support crew,
had us all Down Under rushing to the morning-after-the-night-before fridge
to see if by chance we had any lemonade to celebrate with her – fat chance!

Australians were not brought up on the Terry Wogan jokes

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…
