octatonic · May 2018

Of course... beer, wine and nibbles all ready

.

Bridgehouse · May 2018

So we going to rate each one as they come on?

Sort of group therapy?

thermionic · May 2018

I'm playing the Eurovision drinking game. When it comes on I switch the tv off and go to the pub.

Now that sounds like a plan.

EricTheWeary · May 2018

Just got in, put BBC1 on, making coffee ( counteract an earlier beer) and have a packet of meringues. I shall be watching it until MrsTheWeary says ‘ this is shit, unless we watch something good on the television I’m going to bed.’ So even if we make it through the songs we won’t make it through the scoring.
Roy Hudd looking good for 81.

I stopped watching years ago... is it any better than in 2000s?

There's more Eastern European campness... and more revealing outfits... which may both be good or bad depending on your viewpoint

.

And Graham Norton is better than Wogan, at least in his last few years. [/heresy but true]

I also forgot that I have vodka at the ready, which is usually necessary later on.

@EricTheWeary - ditto for Anita Harris at 75 - I thought we'd lost her yonks ago.

To the OP - yep, we're settled in and ready!

Bridgehouse · May 2018

Whoah. Headstock on that mandolin thing is epic.

If it is what I think you mean then it is a Portuguese Guitar.

usedtobe · May 2018

Always watch it. It’s shit, obviously, but it’s sort of a family tradition..

Yes, true about Anita. I used to know one of her neighbours years ago (lived in Buxton I think).

sweepy · May 2018

Interesting that they have decided not to let China screen it and quite rightly so

Bridgehouse · May 2018

Ukraine.

The one contact lens is pissing me off. No vote from me.

octatonic · May 2018

Janet's favourite.
She 'wants the vampire to win'.

ICBM · May 2018

It’s just such a dull song though. I was hoping the burning staircase would set light to something else and make it more exciting...

Howdy, Stranger!
