Eurovision 2018

[mjr]

I won't be watching the main event either. There are a couple of Icelandic girls who hire the stables bar at my local pub and have a Eurovision party on the night. Is it that this country is the only one who doesn't take the event seriously?

Using it as an excuse for a party isn't exactly the usual definition of taking the event seriously... seems like a very good idea.

They dress up in fancy dress with the flags of all the nations taking part, take bets on the winners and generally sing along to them and then get drunk.

Semifinal number 2 tonight!!

Starting with Norways moomin troll Alexander Rybak. Very good eurovision fodder. My seven year-old liked it.

Central/eastern european countries do enjoy a good dirge!

Sweden's is quite good. Bit of a ropey dancer though.

Norway are through to the final. There'll be a purchase of something wet and sparkling before then.

Second confession: I once went out with a Eurovision winner, before they won

I've been out with quite a few girls who've had my puppet on a string ...

I've been out with a few who said they'd save their kisses for me... They never did of course.

Never had one make me go Boom Bang A Bang...

Eurovision party nights are a big thing on internet forums with folk continuing the spirit of Terry Wogan's cynicism mixed with Graham Norton's camp bitchiness. The mix on CC doesn't lend itself to it though. Too many taking themselves too seriously and looking for offence.
