Oh damn! I wanted to start a Eurovision thread! 
I luuurve Eurovision so much, it's one of the comedic highlights of my year.
We get it on a delayed telecast here so I won't be seeing any of it until tonight (in about 14 hours) I can't wait to see the mayhem!

Sounds fantastic. I hope the Ukrainian entry Tina Carol isn't too embarrassing.dynamicv said:Well, so far the highlights are the aforementioned Bulgarian, and a Russian piano with arms throwing rose petals around
Edit: Is Terry Wogan commentating? I love his snide little comments.
paddy said:Come on Ireland. What did ye foreigners think of Brian Kennedy?
I've still not forgiven him for Carrickfergus.
Tina was okay BTW. Nothing embarrassing, well not in comparison to everyone else.
Oh God, here come Finland's entry!!!
It's like something out of Mordor!!!He's got WINGS!!!!! And their guitars have fireworks coming out of the end!!! There's the winner!!!
Not in the Jaffa Cake household, I'm afraid. We frown upon that sort of mindless, bubble-gum-for-the-brain rubbish that passes for television these days.dynamicv said:
That's why we're watching the Big Brother launch instead.

That's good to know (Ukrainian ties if you hadn't guessed already).
I'm glad she sang the song she did, it was initially going to be something called "Be my queen".
We can't get BBC3 at the mo. We can barely get BBC1 or BBC2 until they sort our aerial out.dynamicv said:
Still, they've just stuck a fella with Tourettes in there...

I think she may even get in the final. There's a lot of acts with a chance.
Shame they didn't stay with "Be my queen". They would have picked up more votes

In the Big Brother house?
That's going to create a few headlines.By the way, the Lithuanian entry is truly awful. We don't have a vomit smilie, otherwise I might be using it right now. And max was worried about Ukraine being embarrassing. That's the first time I've heard an act get booed.
The Lithuanians always put on a top show. Wow, booing at Eurovision, must be really bad.
I can't wait to see it all now!
BTW: They put a mother and daughter in our BB house recently.

Davina might be wasting her time with her "This is Davina – please do not swear!" catchphrase...dynamicv said:In the Big Brother house?
Here's a tip for you BBC Eurovision watchers if you're not already doing it – pop your subtitles on and it'll give you an English translation of the song if they're singing in Lithuanian or something equally obscure.
There's a great Eurovision drinking game I saw somewhere on the net. Basically if any of these things occur take a shot:
Keychange (2 shots if there's more than 1)
Happy, love, peace are mentioned
Wink at camera
UK gets no points
That sort of thing.

Thankfully no. They did have to keep their relationship a secret for a few weeks though.dynamicv said:

Good job I didn't know that the year Gemini was on. I think my liver would have packed it's bags and slipped out the backdoor.
BTW, Bosnia's entry is actually really nice. That's not a word I use often in this context.
Ooh, Iceland got booed even before they started singing. She's got a bit of a Gwen Stefani thing going on there.
EDIT: No, it's actually awfu. Like really awful.
EDIT 2 : Man, you are going to love this. She's saying how much she loves them, and all they do is boo.
I don't know what's worse the fact that you're willing to admit it, or the fact that you actually seem to be proud about it...dynamicv said:Daz is from Stockport BTW

Wash your mouth out with soap. Daz is perfect for Eurovision. He's naff as hell, and that's worth douze points in lots of countries.
And nul points in the rest.dynamicv said:Wash your mouth out with soap. Daz is perfect for Eurovision. He's naff as hell, and that's worth douze points in lots of countries.

I actually liked Ireland. I am rooting for them. They had a very classy performance. Can't say I liked Finland too much though, with their heavy metal and all.
