Given that "our" song is the worst in living memory I'll be amazed if we get beyond Null Points

What do you expect. It was voted for by drunken brits!

There was one good one, and first thing I said to the Mrs was that'd come last and that camp one would win.

If only I had this gift for lottery numbers......

Re: Help I need to be rescued .......eurovision

The UK's (song) is on now
They are like a bad version of Steps.

Best song so far was the opening 'metal song in the very begining.

Terry's not Pi55ed yet though

i've never heard anything as good as last years winners. I found cleaning the bathroom more appealing than watching this years eurovision.

Re: Help I need to be rescued .......eurovision

Well, didn't we do well.

I did find a good pint of cider made it a bit more watchable. I just went down to watch all the "voting" which wasn't at all politically or geographically biased at any time!

Re: Help I need to be rescued .......eurovision

Just watched it and well, talk about eastern block voting.

The Stella and wine elped me throught this dark few hours.

Funny how we come last as we don't have to qualify as we actually pay for it along with France, Germany & Spain.

To be honest, it's a joke and the country that wins should pay for it and we would not have to watch it as we wouldn't get past the qualifying stages.

Made me laugh though. he he

I don't know about that, the Ukraine one was absolutly awful (it can't have come second on artistic merit, plus the singer looked like Christopher Biggins) and our one from a few years ago that got nil points (gemini???) was worse too.

saying that the romanian entry was rubbish too.

I said this to some friends last night - maybe you could start one of those Number 10 e-petitions. Paying all that BBC money (our bloody licence fees) for our fellow europeans to take the ****

I agree, you just have to watch it for a good laugh.

I think Terry Wogan just sees it as a joke nowadays anyway.

I mean, we were never going to come within a Gnats c**k hair of winning.

What was that lot we had going for us???? My cat sounded better when he was howling at the back door!! saying that, I can't believe who won, I was routing for the Biggins lookalike in the end.
