The Eurovision Song Contest means three things:

1. The UK won't win (it's the politics, you see!)
2. Lousy music
3. Terry Wogan getting gradually drunk on Bailey's and acting surprised at the two above facts!

I'll be watching :D
 
Well, we're watching tonight and we've even downloaded scorecards! :eek:

So, there's a Eurotastic evening in the offing here. Luckily we're well stocked up with alcohol.

EDIT: Blimey, the National Lottery has been invaded! At least the boy Holmes is off our screens while we wait for Eurovision. :D
 
I know - I'm just about to leg it to the offy for some more beers - we're running dangerously low for a Eurovision night...

Be sure to get a trans-European selection – some Stella, Grolsch, Carlsberg... you can drink your way around the continent and with luck you won't be able to remember it in the morning. :D

I'm a little disappointed it doesn't come pre-printed with 'Nil Points" next to Norway... ;)
*bursts into tears*

Good god it's horrible. My ears, MY EARS!

On the plus side, Terry Wogan cracks me up :D

Just realised, I have no idea who our entry is or what it sounds like, probably just as well.

edit: WTF is going on with these Latvians :confused: :eek: They appear to be wearing dust sheets sewn in to poorly fitting 'suits'.

edit2: actually, although a bit odd, they were very good.

edit3: Hello thar Norway :D ;)
 
Bloody hell... Latvia! :eek:

It's like Boyzone meets The Flying Pickets. And is it just my telly or do all the entrants so far this year seem to have very bad fake tans? It's like they've all been slightly scorched in a small fire.

EDIT: I take it all back. They had a little robot man and a balloon heart. Genius.
 
I'm having horrible flashbacks to the ketchup song....

Get out of my head, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

****ing hell, this Spanish entry is abysmal.
 
Hmm, Germany is rather comedic.

I got some Becks, some Pringles and some Penguins for whoever's interested. :p And I just had my tea, so I'm all set. :)

Is it me or is Wogan particularly vitriolic this time around?
 
:)eek: to Latvia)

I hadn't seen or heard the Norwegian song before. It was nice, but I don't think it'll win.

Gekko, many thanks for the screenshots for those who can't watch it at home — it's nice to see what everyone's talking about, although I've got Massive Attack on the headphones at the mo which is probably a little better to listen to. :)
 
LOL

I certainly didn't know they would twist... :D


Germany's song was easy to listen to, despite being country.
 
Lithuania "We are the winners - Of Eu-ro-vis-ion". This is insane...

UK up next....
