[Closed] Eurovision the weekend – Anyone watching it?

I've got a kidney stone to pass.

Australia for the win, doing a swap with the UK, got a good rate to take up their place for 8.5bn a year

I've got a kidney stone to pass.

I want Australia to win, because no one seems to have noticed they're not actually in Europe.

Didn't Norway win with that?

You can't go wrong with a ballad.

It gets a bit shouty at the end.

Yeah and Azerbaijan is half in Asia and Isreal is in the Middle East.

But that's the limit of my interest.

This is a trick question, right?

Yeah, probably be watching it while furiously hitting the F5 button to refresh the official STW Eurovision thread.

Unless the Polish milkmaids make a reappearance. Then I'll be glued.

You can always analyse regional politics and suss out who'll win.

I'm going to shove a tenner on France, despite the countries on Russia's potential hit list voting for them out of shear terror

We're absolutely nailed on for last with nil point. Are you happy now? Are you?!!!

I want a [b]Circassian Song to win[/b] if they appear. 😛

They might represent Russia or Turkey but either way I am fine.

A strong and stable performance from the uk resulting in a declaration of war on the Eurovision if the rules aren't rewritten to ensure we win every time.

Coverage here in Eurovision mad Sweden starts tomorrow, which is great as the Swedish entrant is a total dreamboat

Theresa may was going to be the british entry, but she got pulled out as they didnt want her to fail twice in public voting.

bbc4 now, eurovision semi finals

Clints a handsome bastard

Love Eurovision, but tonight I wanted to watch the Giro. Had to watch it on the phone as the OH wanted Eurovision on. There seemed to be a fair amount of boobage on show tonight, I wonder if this is a trend this year.

Going by that picture he may be an actual boat

am I f.....

Donald's going to win with the biglyest number of votes ever seen, fact.

And Mexico are writing his entry.

I too shall be glued multiscreen to twitter, STW and Eurovision; one of the funniest nights of the year. And if Poland can top their rustic farmhands year, I shall probably die of exhaustion.

Is the Swedish entrant attempting a "blue steel"?

(Can't wait - best televised event of the year)

Ritual Humiliation, by any other name.

I can't believe they put it on at the same time as Britain's Got Talent. So inconsiderate.

[inappropriate]I'm keeping my finger's crossed for a repeat of the Polish Milk Churners.....[/inappropriate]

Theresa and Philip will be apparently.

She added: "Although I'm not sure, in current circumstances, how many votes we will get."

I'm away with friends for the weekend. The what's app group has started to fill up with Eurovision. I'm hoping the village has a good pub with a decent selection of beer.

But if the Polish milk maids are back then I might stay in.

I miss Terry but it is my guilty pleasure. Hilarious. Like a digital monty python sketch.

I'm going to a eurovision party on Saturday night, I'm driving, shoot me now please.

If only it was that short.

I love it.

Camp terrible pop with the most elaborate staging in the world.

Followed by 90 minutes of political intrigue.

Added bonus point for gratuitous displays of flesh and a heavy does of knowing sarcasm from Graham Norton

My brother loves it- he's a theatre light/sound guy so he's into the spectacle, so he's gone for the last few years. This year, apparently it's all total chaos so he's not doing it but he was planning the oddest holiday ever- one day, eurovision, the next, Pripyat.

The milk maids were sadly absent but the singer was trying her best not to spill out of her dress last night. Poland got through to the final so there will be a repeat performance.....

Strewth. There's a video for 'we are slavic girls' that makes the live performance look like a tea party.

NSFW

but my butter has been well and truly churned.

No.
I'd rather run naked through Marple with wee in my shoes, bombers attached to my back and a conveyor belt on my head, eating a Gregg's all day breakfast pasty.

I shall watch it so long as there are no attention freaks about ... 😆

We're absolutely nailed on for last with nil point. Are you happy now? Are you?!!!

[quote=Harry_the_Spider ]UK – Dead last with a total of 12 points or less. The only nations that will give us anything are Malta and Cyprus.

You're joking, right? I'm struggling to see either of those voting for us.

I'll be watching though - guaranteed entertainment of one sort or another.

Oh hang on - could we get Diane Abbot to do the counting?

What, again?

Anyway, yes, will be watching, and hoping that the winner is from somewhere nice/not about to be invaded by Russia, cos we've not done a Eurovision away trip for a few years now.

a Gregg's all day breakfast pasty.

god I;m hungry now

The 2nd semi-final is on now. Prepare yourself for more weird shit

I've still not heard a single one of the songs, but Paddy Power were doing Brexit Special bets, so I've put a few quid on 😀

Yup, love it.

It is on, but Clwb Tropicana is back at the beer shop so that will help.

The gayest possible start imaginable! Brill! 😀

2nd one... wind machine? Tick! Air grab? Tick! Barely constrained norks? Tick! Grade A Graham Norton sarcasm? Tick!

Excellent

Love/hate it.

Right… break out the nibbles…

The Twitter feed for Eurovision is Absolute bloody genius!

Just had the following conversation with Binnerette number 1...

"But dad, how can you tell he's gay?"

"Because no straight man has ever been that well groomed, or would consider leaving the house in an all white outfit"

Bloody euro-bastards! Giving us points now we're buggering off! Scuppered my bets! 😥

Ha ha!

Every year since god knows when, we've held a big Euro party on Eurovision night, but this year I proposed we cancel the party and instead bathe in the tears of the remoaners with a hot tub brextravaganza.

It's going swimmingly 😉
