Eurovision Song Contest

[Arthur Little]

Tonight on BBC1 at 8 o'clock for those interested.

Ach ... that! 31/2 hours of *utter [*literally] excrutiating crap - and a total waste of primetime airwave space - as far as I'm concerned.

You surprise me Arthur, thought it would be your cup of tea

[Longweekend]

This is one night when I go to the local and the boss watches this cra*....

[Ako Si Jamie]

Last time I watched it was around 1989, back in the day when it wasn't politically motivated.

I too gave up on this years ago, utter crap to me.
Spent the time on my family tree research which was a better use of time.
Mick.

We, as a family used to watch it regularly throughout the 1970s & '80s Michael. Never missed it; but ... ... I feel the quality ISN'T the same nowadays.

, Mick ... much better, and far more rewarding!

[Arthur Little]

... who won, anyway?

[grahamw48]

I believe AUSTRALIA came second. That's how daft it is.

No doubt some folk will be making millions out of it though.

[Steve.r]

Australia part of Europe

[grahamw48]

I believe it's because they are members of some sort of European trade body (or similar organisation totally irrelevant to a music competition).

Just as daft as including Israel I suppose, and that odd bearded ladyboy of theirs who won one (terrible) year.

Perhaps next year it will be a yodelling Leopard Seal representing Antarctica.

Only ever watched it on the odd occasion, it's just ok when there's nothing else worth watching

I believe AUSTRALIA came second. That's how daft it is.

Just as daft as Britain's Got Talent featuring contestants who were born and still live in countries like Hungary.
