Time for the BBC to grow a pair and pull out of Eurovision. The only the UK gets is a kicking from the other countries, oh, and an automatic place in the final, but that’s only because we (the licence payer) pour in money to keep it afloat.
Grow up and stop acting the victim.
We basically won only a couple of years ago because we sent a decent act. This year, we sent a terrible performer and finished near the bottom of the table.
There is no bogeyman here; we deserved the nul points.
Switzerland - please can I have several packets of whatever the voting panels / public were on - theatrical screeching.
Croatia - they were my top choice.
UK entry, dire, cringe-worthy, if “minus points” could have been awarded, the act would have racked up lots.
Bring back Lordi!!
Hallelujah!
I felt it had potential…
He was just flat, and not fit enough for the physicality of the performance.
Giving this a bump ahead of the weekend. Semi—final is shaping up with some interesting acts.
Maltas looking typically barmy & finland has a fast headbanger with a dominatrix singing from a giant microphone which flies above the crowd.
Luckily Mary Whitehouse isn’t around to comment on the translation of the lyrics…
I’m really excited to get my little taste of home back. The volunteers don’t get my excitement, unfortunately.
I would rather read AP1919 cover to cover
Put it on for them as a streaming /peruvian Eurovision party? Might be a welcome distraction though not sure how the time difference works out.
AP1919 isnt actually bad doc to read & can be useful to flit through every now & then. AP818 or 1358 on the other hand…….
I’m sure I saw Miss Piggy representing one of our European cousins in the semifinals last night!
Works in our favour - we should wrap up around 1800 our time. It’s then one of our volunteer’s birthdays, so there’ll be a little bit of a celebration for that.
Remote control gestapo doesnt want to watch it tonight!
Germany.
Probably just as well that one didn’t have subtitles
I think you’re thinking of Finland, surely?
What is going on with these jury votes tonight?
Pretty scattered.
France was my second pick.
Didn’t really like Italy at all.
I was getting worried that we had 0 after the first 5 ish results, but not looking so bad now!
