What an interesting thought! Many of my work colleagues had the same thought today. But I really had to speak out in defense of Podge and Rodge. Can you really send two unassuming bachelors who have spent a sheltered life in Ballydung into the bright lights of the Eurovision?
I have a moral duty to protect their innocence against worldly ways they could have encountered if they entered a competition like the Eurovision. I mean All kinds of Everything happen in competitions like that. Goodness one year there was a puppet on a string, this year Ireland has a puppet on a wing!!

But I think the 3rd puppet in the clip has potential, Shane McGowan if I am right. What do you think?

Of course I was joking

If a bunch of finnish muppets like this

may have won that (idiot, imho) competition on 2006

I'd say Rodge and Podge have great chance, as well as Dustin has. At least they are more funny...

And, well, the two puppets could also get a better change to get out Ballydung and see how the world is out from the Lucy's nest

Shane has great great potential, but only if a good bar will be nearby the venue...

Il bar, in Italia sono il bar, caffe', cappuccino, caffe' latte.....ok?
Ma in Irelanda, douze point e' il bar e'....12 pints of Guinness or whatever? Bud, whiskey, vodka?

Seccondo te?

Sono irlandese ma non mi piace irlanda

Dunno what douze point exactly mean, I got only the joke for the contest, as explained here
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irelande_Douze_Pointe

About the bar, I meant the Irish meaning...

You will get over.
Look how in these times my country is languishing, and be proud of your.
