So, who saw the first semi-final last night? Belgium woz robbed, can't believe the cut-price Justin Trousersnake from the Czech Republic got through. Good to see there was some love for Albanian rock though.

Roll on Thursday...

We have a Eurovision party every year. I love it, although this year could be a wee bit more tricky than usual. I have tickets for the Stirling Whisky Festival on Saturday afternoon, then I somehow have to make it home for our Eurovision party in the evening. Getting home from a whisky festival without Mrs Beagleboy arriving with the rescue wagon has never been attempted before!

It is certainly an event that is popular with gentlemen who like gentlemen, hence the love for the dancers in the Irish entry.

got a feeling that we will do well tonight.  The way she handled that was very professional.  Good song and performance too.  Will there be a subliminal vote from the Europeans to tell us to call off Brexit
