    Congratulations on the Multivitamins nick! :D A more than worthy winner to finish runner-up to, it'll be a mammoth task and a half if I can get anywhere near that next year. :eek:

    Brilliant work Anne, you've earned that gin. :p

    That is very close, congratulations Nick and well done Lisa.

    Magnificent work again Anne, amazing it's been 4 years..........which also means it must be 4 years since the Guys'n'Dolls debacle. That's when we were still thinking what would fair best on the Eurovision stage. ;)

    Guys'n'Dolls debacle.

    I'm not letting that line go by unnoticed...:p

    Well done Nick on being crowned the new Champion. :)

    And thanks Anne for all the hard work. You really deserve your very own box of crap.

    Ha! That's been lost in the mix somewhere hasn't it :D

    But it really all started with mouldy asking what we thought should have qualified from the semi finals, that was when we were still thinking that Anna Bergendahl was the best thing since sliced smörgåsbord

    But at least it didn't get null - I saved that little pinnacle of crap for Del Amitri....

    Where for art thou mouldy? A tearful Anna being led away by a shell shocked Christer Bjorkman after not qualifying is one of the most memorable Eurovision moments up there with Sylvia Nights rant. Did SVT get their money back on all those wasted glow sticks for the final?

    That is still my best ever result, it's been downhill ever since. :( "Ik kan het ook niet zonder jou" is a great tune.

    Yes, that's one achievement Drew hasn't managed to get. (Mainly because I keep spotting his entries and giving them a token point :D)

    We had two additions this year (and is probably why TacoSoup didn't come back)
    DS Null Points Club
    marrakech, Worst ESC song Heat1 2010
    weedydiamond, Worst ESC song Heat1 2010
    BBAnne, Fantasy Heat 12, 2011
    ESCRoss Fantasy Heat 5, 2012
    NightFoxDancer, Worst Staging 2013
    kvn, Best of NF Rejects 2014
    TacoSoup, Fantasy Heat 5, 2014

    I thought TacoSoup might have been one of "those of whom we do not speak" .....

    But searching under username shows that I'm completely wrong! Clearly just dipped in for a laugh

    Zulu would be in there if it wasn't for me. :p:D I still feel Eurovision staging could still have been possible even with just 6 people. ;-)

    Did you notice it seemed to be shown on every channel over Christmas?

    I still have it on my ipod! Along with Lucilectric and Patrick Wolf and Camelia Jordania and Malu. Funnily enough, Caramelldansen isn't on there. It was a great heat though!

    I almost managed to join that dreaded null points club at one stage this year, I'll clearly have to step it up a level next (this) year in order to cross the line.

    Clearly an homage to Digital Spy Heat 3 of Fantasy 2010.
    Just in case anyone's wondering what we are rambling on about:

    Totally forgot that I was due to vote in the final last week. Sorry all!

    It's been so long since I've submitted anything I've quite forgotten protocol. I'm hoping to spend more time here in the on-season (which I guess is now...)

    And in 10th place ....



    10th sbrum1984 323pts 26/26


    Brummy still can't crack the secret to fantasy, but had some solid results in other contests, including a win in Underrated part 2

    I did pretty well in the first year of Fantasy...but then I started concentrating more on what I liked rather than thinking what will appeal to you 'orrible lot!

    Underrated part 2...good old Birgit. Eva Boto did me proud in Part 1 too! Not so good was Courtney Love providing me with my first ever last place.

    A little bit shocked with 10th, that's a hell of a lot more places higher than I would have predicted. I'd very much like to echo what others have said Anne - thank you so much for doing this. You're such an important part of our forum - humbly, our den mother but in reality our Queen of Europe, our Loreen, our Petra Mede, our Conchita (with Veet-a!)

    Congratulations to nick, on a year misspent!

    [Before it gets corrected!] "A successful Australian singer"

    She kept that well hidden! The writer should be fired!

    Then wouldn't her name be Conchita Vegemite?
