Hang on it STARTED on Eurovision. It's not much of a hijack to turn it into a camp thread!  :-P

What is this old USSR entertainment? Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbijan?

I switched over at 11PM just to see how badly we did. Not surprisingly we came last :lol:

Andy was a dustman who collected rubbish. He obviously has no problem with delivering it either ;-)

Sir Terry Wogan has said that he may quit as the BBC's Eurovision commentator. The host, who had guided viewers through the contest since the 1970's, said this years results showed "it was no longer a music contest".

I think Andy did as well as he could and he deserved better. But we all know why UK performs poorly in the last years.

1 - No friendly neighboring countries (well maybe except from Ireland ?) If you guys participate seperately (like, wales, scotland, etc) you'll do better.

2 - UK being perceived as 'non-european' from central europeans perpective. So you can't even get points from western european countries.

3 - lack of interest in the whole affair. I'm not sure about this, but did andy promote his song in other european countries ?

unfortunately, yeah, eurovision is no longer a 'music contest' (for a long time actually) but I still find the whole affair entertaining :)

A few points from friendly neighbors wont make you win the contest. I must say that UK did really suck this year and so did my home country Finland too.

Well, we aren;t European... Europe is that bit of land, over there... across the water... they all speak funny over there and have strange ways...

Totally.

Actually that reminds me when I was in a Kebab shop about 7 years ago... and there was an old Greek guy working there... he was having a rant about (I think) Polish immigrants.. he ended his diatribe with "Bladdy four-iners", with no hint of irony... Which in my drunken state, I found so funny, it made me drop whatever horrific thing I had just purchased :-)

You posted that before you posted that girl pic. Which means it applies to the subject quoted (the guy pic) ;-)
