Running order draw is taking place now. I AM EXCITED.

Oh boy, UK are on first in the final - the slot of death*. Even popular countries with show stopping entries manage to come last when they're on first. Le sigh.

Better news for Ireland with Jedward being on last in their Semi, acts in the second half of a semi are vastly more likely to make the final.

* I have been rudely accosted on twitter by a fanatic insisting that Slot Of Death TM can only be used to refer to 2nd place because it has never produced a winner. This is stupid 1980s orthodoxy because 1st place does worse recently. I have responded with a passive agressive smiley which means TWATFACE in my inner language, in this instance.
