So the sight of two beautiful women locked in a kiss doesn't stir you?

I'm not expecting much in the way of a "furious row".  I'm sure even neighbours has had a lesbian kiss by now.

EU LGBT survey: Poll on homophobia sparks concern

A quarter of gay people surveyed in a major EU poll say they have been subjected to attacks or violent threats in the past five years.

A kiss on Eurovision would be seen by more europeans than an episode of your neighbours.

Even more annoyingly the UK only got 23 points and finished 19th out of 26.  We haven't won it since 1997, although we have won it fives time in total.  Only the Republic of Ireland (seven times) has won it more.

There are 739 million people in Europe (in an area a third larger than Australia) but only about 15 of them watch Neighbours, and most of those are in Britain and Ireland.
