Eurovision

[Chromatic]

I heard our entry for this year's Eurovision on the wireless as I was going home from work last night, it was sh1te. I can't wait, the excitement is building.

So no different from any of our entries over the last 20 years then. Just had a look--Molly Smitten-Downes is the singer. An little known singer from Leicester?

Yes, just after I clicked post I thought I really should have added 'again of course' after sh1te but I couldn't be bothered to go back and edit it.

...

you forget this one...

... the fact they didn't win proves that Eurovision is rigged.

I'll be out that night - to somewhere with no TVs or radios within a 10 mile radius of me.

As ever, Mrs Beanz and me will quite enjoy watching the actual contest and having a go at ranking the songs, but this year I might give watching the actual voting a miss. Will probably switch back over a couple of times to see if things are going as bad for us as usual and to catch the very end - otherwise I hope there's a good film on one of the other channels.

She certainly seems to have an unfortunate name

I gave up in Eurovision when they split the event into semifinals and finals... filtering out the utter sh!te defeats the object and spoils the fun

I haven't watched this farce for about 15 years, after it made me give up the will to live.

Lordi Lordi Lordi!

You have a very good point there, although it might not really defeat the object it does spoil the fun.
