Eurovison 2018 (Any sign of Keith Mills?)

So the Eurovision semi final qualifying rounds start tonight and im excited.

I know a lot of people give the competition a hard time but its stupid and crap in a fun way that I really enjoy and think a lot of people are missing out on by trying to be "cool" and really unnecessarily hating on it, like what did it ever do to you I ask?

With a couple of drinks on board it can be great fun to rip the piss out of.

Am I alone?

Thats the spirit!

Prob watch the Irish entry and the voting in the final, that's the best part of it all. Few drinks & that in the background will do

I won't be watching it because I am an intellectual and above that sort of frivolous nonsense. I will, however, be telling anyone who'll listen that I won't be watching it because I want them to know that I'm an intellectual and above that sort of frivolous nonsense.

Anyway, it clashes with Holby City.

Not ashamed to say as a 30 year old mans man that I fecking love the Eurovision and I shall be watching!!!

Wilberto · 08-05-2018 05:08PM

I would watch it only I've something else on so I'll be missing it. Why couldn't we have been in Thursday's semi final?!! :pac: :pac:

Might just catch the end of it.

I assume our entrant is called Ryan?

RobertKK · 08-05-2018 05:29PM

It is fun, we can all in Europe have a laugh at each other and enjoy it for what it is, harmless fun.

>European song contest
>Has Australia in it
>wat

I might watch, it is a bit of craic but the standard and style of music in it really puts me off. They seem to focus on cheesy pop and ballad, and actually lately more so on the lights and fireworks of the show rather than the music. It irks me but I'll probably watch anyway lol

Nettle Soup · 08-05-2018 05:30PM

I have a match but I will tape it and watch it later.

You assume correctly.

:pac:

Wilberto · 08-05-2018 06:10PM

The Israeli Chicken Dancer is the favourite, apparently! :eek:

Dr Turk Turkelton · 08-05-2018 06:11PM

Why no option in the poll for;

I'd never miss it, it's the greatest show on earth [√]

Its very Gavin James. But is it poppy enough for Eurovision?

It has grown on me a little since I heard it first. Haven't heard the other semi finalists though so have no idea what they're like (apart from Israel above who are actually in our semi final.)

Shenshen · 08-05-2018 06:42PM

Sorry, won't be able to watch it, I'm afraid.

I've got some paint drying that I want to watch instead.

KathleenGrant · 08-05-2018 06:46PM

Watching it. Was brought up in simpler times when it was all about Ireland v England (yes, I know it's UK but not in our house) ðŸ€£ðŸ€£

I'll be balls deep in a statement of cash flow

SEPT 23 1989 · 08-05-2018 06:51PM

we could have had Johnny Rotten representing his country tonight but the geniuses in RTE said no

I would have watched that

Mint Sauce · 08-05-2018 07:03PM

It's also on BBC4.

Damn you OP.

<shakes fist>

kneemos · 08-05-2018 07:09PM

Only worth watching for the snide comments of the presenters.

EPAndlee · 08-05-2018 08:03PM

4 female presenters? Where is the equality

Mint Sauce · 08-05-2018 08:04PM

Well had enough of BBC4s Ryland and Scott Mills within 10 seconds, so off to Marty Weelan on RTE. Might as well make some use of the Licence Fee.

I thought it would be Mr Norton but when I heard those two I had to go back to Marty

Hammer89 · 08-05-2018 08:07PM

I won't be watching, but I will check in here at some point to see people pretend to be horrified when Graham Norton says "we" in regards to the UK entry.

"Did he just? No, he couldn't have. He f*cking did you know. Well I never."

Get over it.

It is a bit odd actually.. I mean it's the eurovision, could they not have a gay fella up there too? It's like we want to pander/be correct, but not too much

Think it's Norton on Saturday, so will be back to him then. That's if I watch it.

Who am I trying to kid.

gmisk · 08-05-2018 08:09PM

I do like azerbijiggy but the lyrics aren't good.
I hope it makes it through pity this semi so tough

Mint Sauce · 08-05-2018 08:11PM

Iceland Boy looks creepy.
