Hooray!
Another closet Eurovision fan (I used to like watching it with the subtitles on as it gave you the literal UK translation of all those songs that were sung in foreign)

Oh if only you lived nearer to me...we could have a Eurovision party!

Perhaps we could meet up somewhere in the middle?......um!

Trouble is it was so adictive even if it was to watch Terry Wogan taking the p$ss out of the marking process

No it couldn't . Since we're neither Scandianavian, Baltic or Balkan - and we don't have a large concentration of expats in any particular countries in Europe - we won't get the advantage of the block voting that goes on.

Wogan's comments on the voting are almost funnier than his commentary on the little video pieces between the songs - like the fact that the Greeks and Cypriots always give each other douze points; the Turkish community in Germany almost always skews German voting in favour of the turkish entry; Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia seem to share each others' favours; etc, etc ad nauseam.

It was always compulsory viewing in our household, but only when lubricated by sufficient beer to dull the pain of the off-key singing. In my defence, though, I can't be a real addict because I haven't felt the lack since being here.

I'm with you, I love Terry's comments on the Eurovision and I was just saying to my husband the other day that I would really miss it.

How sad is that :embaressed_smile:
