# yay!
I'd forgotten it was Eurovision. I've just gone hunting it on German telly. I've not seen Eurovision in years. I doubt the German host will compare with Wogan.


Edit: The Albanian girl looked rather nice just now on the sumamry, unlike the harridan that Germany voted in.

# He's on form tonight.
Luckily (actually, I'm not sure if it is lucky) we get BBC and ITV here, so we're watching it in all its camp and homoerotic glory.

# I'm currently watching it
on whatever crap channel has a 1 in a circle as its logo. Kabel Eins, I think. I never watch it normally because it's crap, much like most of German telly.

I'd like Wogan back for this.


Edit: Apparently it's ARD. They're shit anyway, as are Kabel Eins.

# Try SF.
The Swiss are smug enough as it is without broadcasting it on TV.

The Greek entry was pretty nice-looking, no?

edit: You know that we can vote for the UK?

# Since I only turned on a few minutes back
I've managed to miss about half the entries. I'll watch out for teh Swiss on this run through.

I may vote for the UK but I've no idea what we entered. I might be more likely to vote for Finland for being insanely homoerotic and over-the-top...


Edit: Yes, the Greek entry is very nice indeed.

# The Swiss crashed out in the semis.
A small consolation for all the stick about the football I've been puting up with lately. Yeah 'cos Switzerland blitzed their groups stage, didn't they? Oh, wait...

# hahaha
have fun with the footy. i'm quite looking forward to it. i can ignore it when i want and watch it when i want and since i generally avoid the german media i won't have their footy shoved down my necks, while the british media will be pretending nothing's happening.

i *was* planning on visiting austria in the next month or so but i think i'll make it very late to let the football drain away.

# They were so pleased that England went out
as they expected the English fans to trash the city. In stead, they've got the Greeks, Italians, French and Turks - currently Europe's most violent fans.
It makes me feel warm inside.

# Luvvly
That the Turks are still allowed into competitions staggers me. That the Italians are allowed in doesn't, since UEFA are probably run by the mafia anyway, so the murders and violence riddling Italian football can be happily ignored.

# I'd love to,
but face it, France obviously has the most bearded entry, therefore they must win.
QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM.

you must have posted that just as i was watching his weird bearded visage flash onto my screen.

he's got to win, he looks like the tramp they picked off the streets.

# I'm afraid he won't, actually.
French alternative electro? Produced by a member of Daft Punk? Somebody with an actual career? No tarts in glittery dresses or overgroomed wimps? It's a bit too cool for Eurovision.

Also, Finland seem to have defined their national music as metal-type music.

# Bah
you may be right. It'll be some crap then. So long as it's pretty crap I'll be happy.

I still maintain we should have had the Manic Street Preachers representing the UK back in 1991 or so. I reckon Motown Junk would've gone down a treat, or perhaps Repeat.

# The UK is in with
a big enough chance, if they manage to convince one of the popular British acts of the moment to do Eurovision. Hype and promotion will get you a long way.

I'm Dutch. The chances of us winning are minimal, unless they come to their senses and send something proper (provided that Dutch pop music manages to resurrect itself)

# I think the last time the UK entered something credible
was about 35 years ago or more. We seem to treat it as a way of humiliating ourselves in front of the rest of Europe.

Gemini??? I ask you...


Edit: And the guy on ARD just now is happily calling the UK "England". Piss off, you brainless tit. At least we gave the points to Greece.
