Eurovision

[Samuraisan]

Anybody going to watch it ? I can't resist.

[douglas9401]

Nope.

[Cloverjo]

I usually just watch the voting.

[retrocop]

Nah. Just read about some scruffy erk called Gillespie making political points because it is being held in Israel. He call Madge a 'prostitute'.
Most of the ditty's nowadays are dire. Madonnas performance might be the only song worth listening to but I don't really care for this farce and haven't watched it for about twenty years or more. When was 'Puppet on a string' sung on it?

[Cloverjo]

I predict 2 points for the UK.

[douglas9401]

1967

[Jordyboy9]

If this damp weather keeps up I will be watching snails crawling on the patio instead of the Eurovision

[baza]

Late 60's I think/

[pixie374]

No. I don't even know when it is.

[webbo3]

who's presenting?

[Spicerack]

More like 50yrs ago, retro.
It was a must watch programme when I was young.

[dannyk13]

Definitely not, the voting is so partisan that you might as well not have any performers.

[retrocop]

Oh dear Thanks. Showing my age. :-)

[douglas9401]

Nobody got an opinion on the UK entry?

A formulaic dirge croaked by a burger and pie fan, never knowingly in tune.

IMHO

[Spicerack]

I can put the champagne and party-poppers away for another year, then. ;-(

[Maydup]

I would be very disappointed in myself if I hadnt managed to avoid our entry, let alone the main event.

Doing OK so far!

[Bigbad]

No I won’t.
The last time I watched it my daughter was very young, and wanted subtitles on so she could see the lyrics in English.
I remember her being amused by a song about a necklace made of seashells.
I suppose they are more likely to sing about a pearl necklace these days.
It just seems like a showcase for freaks, weirdos and sexual deviants now.

[Baldric]

I have seen a piccie of our entrant waving an upside down Union Flag, never heard his song, probably never will, good enough.

Yes, samuraisan, I will. Like you, I can't resist it!

the BBC yet again fields a no-hoper, safe in the knowledge he will absolve them of having to host next year. life, as they say, imitating art......
