That bit when they formed- I'm trying to think of something other than a human centipede- was hilarious!

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
Mrs St8 is the person on the sofa
To be fair, she got out of bed, had a shower and got dressed. Then fell asleep on the sofa outside. Then it got really hot, so now she's asleep on the sofa inside
Other artifacts. My scorecard from last night
E2A the rules this year we're that "Key Change" could also be Bass Drop, Guitar Solo or any other device that you felt fit the bill.
I miss all the key changes

back on the other side
Real missed opportunity for UK to have entered a Scouse House donk/rap banger. Cha Cha Cha shows it would've smashed it. Liverpool crowd wouldve loved it too

Yeah like that tedious wanker in a long leather coat the other year. We have got it so very wrong for so many years.I am so emotional. I am never proud of the UK, tonight for a pop competition I am.
Edit. We didn't win, but we also didn't fuck it up and that is amazing right now.
Our entry wasn't strong but at least it was appropriate.

I thought it was more is the Swedish entry good enough so that we can shoe in a 50 years of ABBA next year

No - and it's also a shame that they don't say the country names in French any more. No more will children wonder what on earth they are saying when they say "wyomini"

I’ve never been able to back the UK in anything tbh. Something in me just can’t. It’s to do with our smugness and entitledness when it comes to these things. I just feel we don’t deserve any awards for anything at all

That's just it with the UK entries. We seem to think that what we do is so much better than these other silly European nations and then year after year, we wonder why it falls flat on its arse.

Really enjoyed that. We bet a curry on it. I went for Finland and she went for Moldova so Naga Chicken was on her this year. Last year Subwoolfer cost me a Veg Tawa.
Really enjoyed it. Finland song was a really good laugh, the Croatian (?)old geezers in their underpants similarly entertaining. The Moldovan folk-horror bloke/flautist almost got my vote. It's the mad shit that does it for me.
Drippy ballads weren't quite so ubiquitous this year although that Swedish tune was a weird one to have as such a conclusive winner, I think. Anyhow, good fun as always.

There was one that started in English then announced "douze points a ...." and the country in French can't remember who or which country though.

Books, not bombs
Mrs tag says no television trickery, it took around 40 seconds for the turn around
She is full of it and says it's something everyone should go to at least once.

We all shouted out human centipede when they did that too
Best Eurovision in years. None of us has a printer, so we put bingo categories up on post-it notes on the wall and raced to be the first to spot one.
I put the playlist on this morning to see if I still liked the songs as much as I did under the influence of friends and alcohol, and yes, there are only a couple of weak songs really, the rest are genuinely good songs. Even the ballady ones are pretty enjoyable as songs rather than as Eurovision entries. And there was a song about Edgar Allan Poe!

Lol.....
I love it, go to my friend's most years and watch it.
My old school friend was backstage doing the lighting, can you imagine it!
I remember the Edgar Allan poe one aye! Poe poe poe!
Croatia was much much better than I remember, I excitedly posted ALLIGATOR PSYCHOPATH! as we had subtitles on and could see all the lyrics. Remember shouting the šč! bit. It's an anti war/putin song.We all shouted out human centipede when they did that too

I was at the dress rehearsal. Each staging appeared on the stage as lines/shapes to assist with the backstage crew.
It took mostly 30-40 seconds per act. Loreen needed more because of the sheer size of the "presses".

I was impressed by how smoothly it went considering the short time between acts and how much there is to set up. I always think that's an amazing feat, TBH, just noticed it more this year.

Who?
Don't know who most of them are, but Shaznay knows her stuff. All Saints had some massive worldwide hits and she wrote some of them, but was also on the performing side as a pop singer so can judge what it's like to perform under the conditions Eurovision is conducted in pretty well.
If the others are similar then it seems fair enough.
Did she have a great time? Was it worth the ticket kerfuffle? Is she hoarse from all the cheering and singing?

Honestly I went ooh it's in the UK, what do tickets cost and then went ok we'll be spending it at home again 
I certainly don't begrudge Hash and Mrs Tag having a fantastic night out though, I think folks sometimes misunderstand and think as I am poor that I want everyone to be brought down to my level and that is not the case at all, I love the fact that you had a fantastic and maybe once in a lifetime Eurovision adventure - I want us all to be lifted up a level, not brought down a level if that makes sense and I was really excited to hear about the fact you were there

I loved the Edgar Allen Poe tune. I am that annoying cunt who is on mute on everyone's Whatsapp because I send round shit that I think is interesting or whatever. I never read anyone's interesting stuff that they send me either. Anyway, I sent that one to everyone because it is such a banger.
