What's Happened?

[Sqad]

European Song Contest.
Our entry: a dreadful song presented to the audiences throughout the world by an overweight, grubby looking, hirsute , unwashed individual.
We will be lucky to come last.

[Hopkirk]

Answer - nil points.

Not one.

Nothing.

[Sqad]

JD...incredible .

[calmck]

Just listening to Radio 2 top 50. UK had some good songs back when

[teacake44]

Do you think, (My beautiful horse,) would stand a chance?

[Jackdaw33]

Hopkirk, I'm sure it used to be a rule that juries weren't allowed to vote for their own country.

[calmck]

Yes no country could vote for their own entrant

[burlyshirley]

Probably tc, it's Irish ..

[Mamyalynne]

If I have ever known that fact Hopkirk then I'd forgotten it, amazing really.

[Bazile]

Sqad
What are you doing watching such mundane stuff like
ESC ?

I thought you always have you head between the pages of a medical journal or something

[Sqad]

Bazile....I do have my eccentricities. -;)

[Mozz71]

Teacake, I've got "My Lovely Horse" on a Divine Comedy rarities CD somewhere (Neil Hannon of DC wrote the song). I'd vote for it over most of the tosh that crops up each year.

[choux]

^^ Euphemism for Mrs Sqad likes to watch it ?

[teacake44]

Mozz, I knew it was something like that TA. :0)

[Bazile]

Next you're going to tell me you are an avid fan of home and away and the kardasians ( however it's spelt ) :-)

[teacake44]

Farther Ted would win it hands down.

[smurfchops]

Well l thought l might watch it as l haven’t in years, then I read somewhere than Amanda Holden is a judge….

[William51]

I think the song was decent but the video was awful. Maybe it is time to take the contest entries away from the BBC and given to a new body.

[Peter Pedant]

// Father Ted would win it hands down.//

is he allowed to compete? 1. he's dead 2. he was Irish

the hirsute overweight fella - sang something else and that was my point on another thread - - he can actually sing - - - so it was the Song and not the Singer ( thx to Dirk Bogarde) 1959

[Peter Pedant]

this seems like the place to ask
is the French for nool pwang ....
singular - - nul point and not nul points ?

I am of course always P Pedant esq

[Mamyalynne]

James Newman wrote and performed the song 'Embers' Peter.
