Eurovision Song Contest
What's the quickest way to get slated and lose (what little) credibility you may have on BE? Admit to being a closet fan of Eurovision. So, there! I've said it! And after much panic over recent weeks, realising that the 'competition' was looming and worrying that it probably wouldn't be shown over here, I find that SBS is, in fact, my saviour! Not only is Eurovision being shown in Aus, but Terry Wogan is commentating!! Yay! 
How happy am I?! (Shut up the man at the back that said 'sad more like'.)
So, anyone else want to shame themselves too?! And let me know who's the hot favourite to win? (I know I could look it up, but checking out the Eurovision TV website might be going a bit too far!
)

Re: Eurovision Song Contest
We were thinking about having a Eurovision come house warming party, seen as our stuff arrives soon and the Eurovision is as good an excuse as any for a get together. Might have to talk to Mr GG about it again.
I won the office sweepstake last year after Ukraine won. Which was nice.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest
SBS will be providing most of our weekend's entertainment. FA Cup Final live, a chance to (hopefully) watch United's victory again on the Sunday, then Eurovision in the evening. Marvellous.
SBS also have some coverage of the Club World Championship qualifiers, so should be tuning in to SBS a fair bit this month.

exactlly it is a tradition is our house, popcorn goodies etc and from begining to end a riot, that best bit is the voting, we guess to which country the voting country will give to Like france to england (oh yeh in your dreams) and you win a prize etc in right, wouldnt miss it for the world
