Mr Wogan is enroute to Helsinki - it must be that time of year again!

As Terry heads to Finlands capital, Helsinki, to prepare for the coming weekends Eurovision final we are guaranteed a couple of mornings, thanks to his popular BBC2 radio show, filled with gems and insight about this small, pretty city and the Finnish people.

Lets hope he is more popular in Helsinki than he was in Copenhagen. Finnish friends in the UK that live for the annual Eurovision fix are not keen on Mr Wogan. They are disgusted that he does not take the whole thing more seriously. They simply don't believe that Brits only watch the Eurovision for Wogan and not for the event........

So tomorrow we can awaken to comments about the Finnish language (impossible), people (initially perceived as dour but once the shyness wears off friendly), hopefully how pretty Helsinki is when the sunshines and how wonderfully efficient everything is (Finns in the UK never fail to mention how inefficient Uk transport, banking, etc, etc is but then there are only 5.6 million people in Finland)
