You ok, hun?
We essentially won only a few years ago, and would have done officially if not for Russia invading Ukraine.
It’s also one of the most popular events that the BBC hosts, so not sure where you’re getting it being a waste of money from given that it’s both popular and we’ve won it recently.
European inspired dinner to go with the music! Thought I was late tuning in, but looks like I’m just in time!
Looking good - you watching with colleagues?
Always been interested in how Europeans react.
Absolutely not! I’m not sure how that would go down given the mix of citizenships 
But nah, almost everyone is at ‘home’ this weekend, as it’s a 4 day weekend out here. I’ve stayed here as I was in the UK last weekend and am back again next weekend! Three on the trot is just too much flying, especially at current costs.
Graham Norton absolutely slating the Austria presenters 
Toasting the Ukrainian entry with glass of ice cold Nemiroff vodka 
I’m a bit behind. Belgium at the moment.
I don’t know what we’ve entered, but it can’t be worse than this?
Not super impressed with Ukraine this year. Albania is up there for me so far I think.
Can’t be worse than Greece. Or can it?
Song was ok, at least they are still able to enter.
to be fair I don’t need much of an excuse to break out the Nemiroff either
Didn’t feel it at the start, and though it’s not that it scratches a little symphonic metal itch.
Germany was catchy, Albania good too.
“Woodwork” 
Australia was fantastic! Thought it was very Frozen-Let It Snow at the start, but great by the end!
Did someone in Greece just discover Gangnam Style for the first time and not realise the rest of the world already moved on?
Serbia scratching that itch!
Not my favourite song, but vocally technical and very controlled.
Yeah, technically very good. Just didn’t feel very Eurovision 
I love the way that despite our different backgrounds and sometimes divergent views so many of us come together for this. It’s not the typical event many would associate with an MOD sponsored organisation!
Celine Dion x Whitney Houston?
I’m just here for whatever acid trip Moldova serve up this year. Normally a bit more whacky.
So far Bulgaria and Germany are tied on my (admittedly weird) score sheet
