Been wondering what happened to Jedward?

[bibblebub]

No, neither have I but...

They are going to represent Ireland in the Eurovision song contest.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/...hern-ireland-12435094

Ireland has clearly decided that, since they can't afford to host the event in future, they had better try to make sure that they don't win.

[Hopkirk]

If I was Irish I would be so embarrassed.

[wolf63]

Didn't they do this in an episode of Father Ted?

I am sitting here thinking of something nice to say about Jedward - but can't think of anything ..........

[MrIncredible]

Looking at recent past winners, I'd say Jedward have a very good chance of winning!

"Potaatoooo"

[Hopkirk]

Were they alive when Father Ted was recorded?

[wolf63]

Hopkirk - I am not even going to look that up, I am probably old enough to be their mother.

[Hopkirk]

Father Ted was recorded from '95 to '98.

[starone]

Am I fortunate in being able to say I have never heard them? Were the others that bad? In spite of the (alleged) absolutely dreadful act they seem to have done very well for themselves and are probably laughing all the way to the bank as the saying goes. What a laugh it would be if they actually won!

[sandyRoe]

Are they doing a 'Go Compare' advert for holidays?

[Hopkirk]

Yes, Starbuckone, you are very fortunate.

[mollykins]

Sandy, travelsupermarket.

Do you honestly think it would be humane and legal to make an advert with the go compare man and Jedward?

[zzxxee]

they were rumoured to be doing a new shake n vac advert and singing the 1980s song.
IM not sure what came of that idea !!

[flobadob]

Blue, anyone? Pot vs Kettle here methinks. And yes you have regurgitated a joke that we Irish have done over and over since the 90's. Well done.

[woofgang]

that bit with no noseband looks a bit severe....

You can't beat a bit of Ted.

And thanks, lankeela, I regrettably chose to click on the Youtube link.

[Whickerman]

They're in the press here every single day.

Got to hand it to Louis Walsh - he's persistent

[lankeela]

Don't know how it will come out sung live but the recording is one of their better efforts musically.
