    Norton is priceless, he is getting more and more bitchy with his comments as we fail to get any points in the voting :lol:

    Re: Eurovision

    I love his comments about the Russian lady giving the points.

    Poor Englebert, a nice song sung well. It was not the best but better than many that finished higher. The geograpic voting makes a mockery of it really.

    The Swedish song was a very competent euro-dance song but nothing special. There were better songs. I think the best song / performance combination was Spain.

    Still, it's a laugh and Grahm has certain taken over where Sir Terry left off, he makes it worth watching.

    I thought the Swedish entry was fairly standard poc-poc-poc Eurofare of no particular character. And, like everything else this year...

    ...sung in English.

    Why not sing in your own language like so many pop stars do? It's not like anyone's going to pick you up and launch you onto the world stage.
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    Re: Eurovision

    What a waste of time! It's never been my thing; not to my tastes and even Terry Wogan could'nt tempt me to watch in the past but i really don't know whay we bother.

    It's like a School reunion. All the other Countries used to be weak and easily Influenced. The UK (or Great Britian, which ever our Independance desperate members prefer) used to be strong and use that strength to bully and influence during the school days so long ago. Now the UK is old fat and toothless and the other countries are still in their youth. With confidence growing, they can openly humiliate the UK, prodding and poking without fear of recourse. We just sit in our mobility scooter, smile uncomfortably and say, 'It's not the winning, it's the taking part' whilst wincing inwardly.

    There i no way we would win even if we entered Kylie and she Fellated all the judges individually. Tell 'em to shove it!

    What if she fellated them all at once then sang boom gang a bang? Would that improve our chances?

    I'm of the opinion it would so I'm going to email Kylie now.

    Watched the vote, why do they bother with the singing, just have the vote, or maybe have the vote before the singing.

    +1. Every year 'this year it will be different' with no result. Eurovision is really a waste of time and oxygen.

    Even those two little dweebs from Southern Ireland got more points than us, why do we bother, what a joke.

    Re: Eurovision

    It is simple I suppose, they are voting for the country, so it shows what the rest of Europe think of us.

    Time to get out?

    Ha, that's a good point. We still win.

    I think that people in the UK only tune in for the kitsch so our entry should reflect that. We know we can't win so why not go outrageously bad? The worst we can do is come our usual last.

    Re: Eurovision

    It's part of a cunning plan to slowly bankrupt all of these upstart former Commies by making them win so that they have to spend squillions hosting the event the following year.

    Spain appear to have rumbled us.

    Obviously, there's no danger of us ever having to stage the thing, unless the former Commies work out what's going on.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    My experience exactly, I love the comment about Engelbert, Funeral Directors always look so solemn to me, I will look on them in a different light now :lol:

    I think "looking solemn" is part of the job isn't it? Nobody wants one of the Chuckle Brothers sending your nearest and dearest off. Wait a minute, I've got a business idea...

    Its a joke but an entertaining joke. The lass from Denmark was well fit. Romanian woman was gorgeous with a nice backless dress. I can't wait till next year :bounce:

    Re: Eurovision

    I think the time has come to just do the voting and not bother with the singing! that way the whole thing can be over in 40 mins and we don't have to put up with second rate singers (excl the Hump) and we can limit our exposure to Mr Norton and save some money too!

    it's fantastic.
    I was perturbed that the grannies didn't win.
    I fail to see why Britain not wining is always met with such indignation. :lol:

    Apparently, Egbert Spunkledump (can't remember his name off the top of my head) put off the grannies by hitting on them during the show.. he always prefers younger women.


    This put them off their game, and allowed the Swedes to win.


    Missed it this year due to work, was gutted, as being a Leeds fan, and England also, this was the only realistic chance (I know :shock: ) of me seeing us do well in Europe this year.

    Gutted.

    Am I alone in thinking that the Albanian entry should have won on musical ability & image?

    Although the Italian entry was far & away the one to set the pacemaker to "Fast". :D
