I can't believe Andorra (a classic 'Eurovision' song), the Netherlands and Slovenia were all knocked out and those muppets from Azerbaijan got through. I'm starting to believe it is something to do with how many friends you've got on the European map.

It's taken you this long to work that out? ;-)

I believe they were making an effort to split up "blocs" of voting friends, so UK and Ireland couldn't vote for each other, Greece couldn't vote for Cyprus, etc.

And since when did Ireland ever vote for the UK?

In fact, since when did anyone vote for the UK?

Yes, there was regional seeding in the semi-final draw with, as you say, Greece and Cyprus being kept apart.
