Eurovision

[Over The Hill]

With the voting thing- there would be a case if Russia kept winning but they do not. Last two I remember winner were Sweden and Israel.

Perhaps we have not had many votes because we have had really bad songs?

Well, I hope it turns out to be a good show, for my daughter's sake: she's going to be there - she's already bought her ticket.

Naturally, she's under no illusion that UK will get more than "nul point".....

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

LOL. maybe i should have said, defeats the object of watching it .... no Terry Wogan was another nail in the Eurovision coffin for me... I guess it was a welcome break as i watched it every year from the late seventies to the late naughties.

Ah yes, I missed your point a bit there, I see what you mean. You're right about old Tel, he did get mightily knobbed off with the voting patterns didn't he? That was the final nail in the Eurovision coffin for him if I remember correctly.

he did... I'm amazed it took him so many years to notice.

I'm sure he did notice, but it eventually got to the point where he could take it no more and he blew a gasket.

The last decent song to win Eurovision was Waterloo, by Abba. 40 years ago .

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.

I had the misfortune to have been scanning through the radio stations when I head Ken Bruce declare this years British Eurovision entry is the best he's heard in years, I stopped to listen, I head it, I shook my head, then resumed listening to BBC radio 4.

Have I mentioned that I have a friend who has created a statistical model to predict the outcome of the Eurovision?

Bet he's a bag of laughs down the boozer, well that's a probability based on a logistical curve...

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?

Katrina & The Waves.

Not Leicester, Rothley, the bit that thinks it's too posh to be in either Leicester or Loughborough. The only other 'personalities' to come from Rothley are the tabloids favourite tragic family the McCanns.
