It's that time of year again. Countries scour the dregs of their society for the biggest freaks, arm them with microphones and the entire world watches the carnage unfold.

The favourites this year are Russia. Though there are strong contenders from Australia and France. The UK entry is pretty decent and I'm confident we won't finish in the bottom three. It starts tonight at 8pm GMT.

I will be honouring this occasion by getting drunk and laughing lots. Who's with me?!
