ah, of course.
Still, it's your own fucking fault for watching, isn't it?

News just in Lucan's finest actually won, once the snide block voting is taken into account

Well that's your own fault for only having one dozy bunch of cunts close enough to vote politically for you
Speaking of which, what were you doing giving us 6 points, you ungrateful bastards?

Blue were even worse than Jedward

No they weren't
Not even Boznia & Herzegovina were worse than Jedward. At least Blue have sex appeal, if not talent

you are wrong.
regardless. France had the only entry that could be classed as music, and they got fuck all points in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not
However, you're quite right about that. I knew France weren't going to get anywhere as soon as I saw the entry; too good. Too much like actual music. Plus, no-one likes the French.

I stand by my liking of the Italian entry
having listened to it a few times since, and read the lyrics, I think it's quite a nice little ditty.

That wasn't bad at all
But again, too much like actual music. If you check my FB feed you'll see that I called two of the top three by virtue of having seen Eurovision way too many times

was that the one with the see-through piano?
if so, it was one of the few that wasn't utterly utterly shit

That's the one
However, musical merit will never win Eurovision, unless you happen to be a Balkan state with lots of friends.

I'm afraid I didn't watch
However I have renewed admiration for Jedward when it was pointed out to me that nobody really interviews Jedward, broadcasters simply put microphones in front of them and they shout random things into them.

they are freaks
I find myself completely baffled by them. I think they must actually be extra-terrestrials.

They're ummm 'slow' is the polite phrase

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Mon 16 May 2011, 14:06, Reply)

It's mostly hilarious
But I felt so fucking ashamed when we gave them 12 points. I haven't been so disappointed in the voting public since the AV referendum

you know the worst thing?
The Jedward monstrosity was in the top ten, quality wise. Eurovision really is a pile of shit.

Yes it is, that's the point
but even so there should only be so bad "utter shit" can get before it's outlawed
