Eurovision is over - let's all just move on. I've packed away the novelty European headgear, and the Union Jack bunting has gone back up into the loft - but others are less keen to let the whole thing go.
Liberal Democrat MP Richard Younger-Ross is calling for the BBC to ask for a re-think of how the voting system works in future years.
Malta's miffed about the song contest, too. Some people have said that the 12 points they awarded the UK was a protest vote at the block voting. (What? You mean they didn't really like the song?). I refuse to believe it.
Let the eastern European countries win, I say. Let them host it till they're sick of it and start fielding pop groups dressed as supermarket check-out assistants or Scooch-esque holiday reps in a bid to avoid winning altogether.
Didn't Ireland triumph so many times during the 90s, the cost of hosting the event nearly bankrupted RTE? I bet the contest really begins to lose it appeal after a while.
Anyway, I'm far more excited about the Eurovision Dance Contest - which the UK is running this autumn. Graham Norton will compere, and 13 countries including Austria, Denmark and Finland will perform two dances each, with the second having a national flavour.
But what, exactly, is the national dance of the UK? Morris dancing, Scottish sword-dancing, Welsh folk dancing ... Agadoo, maybe? Also, if national dress is involved let's please make sure it isn't a Beefeater outfit, like the kind seen adorning England's representative in the Miss World pageant, or anything worn by flight attendants. Better we stick to kilts and Welsh hats.
On the plus side, only two eastern European countries are taking part, Russia and Ukraine, so thankfully we'll be spared outrage from the western participants about block voting.
The only foreseeable drawback is we'll all be mown down by Riverdance.
