Bloody Eurovision Again

[Father Ted]

Why oh Why are we subjected to this garbage every year?I shall be mostly surfing Ebay.ei to try and find some obscure tin. They have even pulled Doctor Who tonight too. Bummer.

[outlaw118]

Why don't you do a follow up to "My Lovely Horse"?Something like "My terrific Viva" or something.....Ah go on, go on, go on..etc...

[Torsten2001]

You're just upset because Irelands been kicked out!

[Doobie]

We've got pop factor or whatever, dancing with ice and britains talentless and you object to this!.Always something better to do when your on the interweb.

[Albert Ross]

Eurovision is made all the better for Wogan's inane twittering throughout. Top quality shite viewing/listening. I shall probably be using one eye on it later.......................

[pandamonium]

Is eurovision not the TV/music version of autoshite? Quality viewing, in my opinion. We always make a drunken evening of it in our house!

[bigstraight6]

It would be shite but for the Togmeisters banter! long live King Terry and the Eurovision

[stoterstangen90]

The Dutch were not in the finals

[bigstraight6]

The Dutch were not in the finals

Not anywhere near the shame of not being in the Euro 08 football tournament

[bones96]

who won lol

[Torsten2001]

Surprise, surprise, it was the Russians. Mind you it was all a pile of toss apart from France and Finland!

I've always wondered why Italy never enter, or at least I've never seen them. Too much style, perhaps?

[retrogeezer]

Thought the Ukrainian girl was nice...and the greek one....Oh, was it about songs? The Spanish thing was hilarious....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHtvgtKb1Hg

Have you heard Italian music? Not even good enough for Eurovision!

[blackbird]

I wanted Finland to win

[pompei]

I think the Italians got miffed at not getting many votes a few years ago, and took their bat and ball home. And then stayed in every year.

[RedSparrow]

Does anyone remember John Shuttleworth? I now seriously believe we should enter his song 'pigeons in flight'. Better than most of the stuff you see on Eurovision!

[pompei]

Or even "JIlted John" from an earlier incarnation!

[fotorabia]

Remember Black Lace..didnt they all die in a coach crash...?

[MrRegieRitmo]

Yes & they've got the right idea! I can't for the life of me understand why us, the Germans, the French, the Spanish & any other Western Europeans don't take the hint & either stay at home or create our own one just for us 'Westerners' that we will actually have a chance of winning??!! Surely there's just no point entering anymore, clearly it's fixed so that everyone from Eastern europe gets a turn at winning leaving us in the West to prop up the table! Do we enjoy the humiliation, is that it? Is this a form of s&m for us? I don't 'get it!' We go to all that effort but we've lost before it even begins!

[bigstraight6]

Heard on a news report this morning that Terry Wogan has stated that he might not do another Eurovision, as its become pointless with all the political voting, in particular from all the Eastern European/Balkan Countries, it seems to have gone down hill rapidly since they joined the party

[Torsten2001]

You're right, Dima Bilan could come on and sing Happy Birthday and get 12 points from Armenia, Azerbijan, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Serbia, Ukraine etc. Thing is the Beeb put in so much money into the EBU that it would collapse without it, hence why UK doesn't have to qualify to be in the final. Having said that, the UK entry was as crap as ever...

[r.welfare]

France should have won. Probably would have if he'd driven onto the stage in a Mk1 R5 instead of that golf buggy, too.

[Raffles]

Amen to that brother. If only for the fact that they made the female backing singers wear beards and dark glasses.

[r.welfare]

Yes! I literally snorted curry out of my nostrils with mirth throughout the whole song, which made for an interesting sight to Mrs W

[Pillock]

I really enjoyed it, although Sir Terry's commentary was obviously a little bored due to the political voting taking all the fun out of it. My favourites to win were Bosnia-Hertegovina, purely for the fact they'd taken the competition in the style it was made famous for.... a complete giggle with a bonkers song and bizarre outfits.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Fuggin East europeans! Stealing our jobs, women, eurovision trophies, etc etc etc.

 

[retrogeezer]

So, why did Keira need a body double??

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Hava a look at page nine and you'll find out!
