Eurovision: and the winner is.....

And you thought Englebert was going to be the oldest thing on show at Eurovision. Buranovskiye Babushki, complete with mocassins and giant revolving kitchen stove in the background, look set to take the thing by storm.

I'm sure their victory in the Russian competition is everything to do with merit, and nothing to do with the fact that the one on the extreme left is Putins grandmother. Strong denials have been issued at a Russian threat to switch off the gas to any neighbouring country which gives them nul points.
