Eurovision Song Contest

I think we do but, as I said, I'm not sure that I'm correct. I might be getting confused that, as a founder country we automatically qualify. And I could be wrong about that as well [memory not so good and all that].

On a betting front, my betting forum thinks Sweden to win and Serbia and Italy to do well. We'll see.

There is something so compulsive in its awfulness and this is even more obvious as I watch Sir Terry on "Yesterday" with his overview of the last 50 years. You think it is bad now? It always was!

It's so quiet on here, I think everyone who's not out gallivanting is secretly watching Eurovision!

I have just watched The Russian Grannies I wonder if any of them are members of GN I must say I liked their national dress but the make-up left something to be desired !!

Anagram my thoughts exactly.I could change channels but football is on the other side and I don't feel in the mood to go looking through BT Vision.I'm messing about with this stupid tablet thingy and trying to download e-books

According to Graham Norton one of those grannies is only 44 - or was it 46. I think I spotted one who looked less lined than the others - taller too. glamma, surely the idea was to make them look as grannyish as possible, hence little or no make-up. Someone needs to meet Gnetters!

Annobel I am sure that there must be a "cottage industry" type opening for us to show some of these ladies how to present themselves ?? We could certainly recruit some fab models.

Annobel; I was trying to work that one out. 44? Must still be a hard place to live,'back in the USSR'.....

The 44/46 year old must have had a hard paper round

Or a lot of vodka!

glamma, if you did that, you'd be destroying their unique selling point - they have to look like 'babushkas'.

Yes, it would really make my day if the 'Grannies' win it!

Yawn! yawn! yawn! - I'll switch on at the end to see who wins!!

Somebody let me know tomorrow, please!

I've got it on in the background, but heavens, need earplugs for some of them!

According to our paper, the youngest one is 53, but looks a lot older. I`d like to have watched the Eurovision for a change, but he who must be obeyed is watching the flippin` football! At least Engelbert, or Gerry Dorsey as I remember him, can`t do any worse than any of the British entrants ov er the last few years.

Sweden or Greece to win

Germany sounds the most contemporary - vote for them, they can afford to host the next one!

Very disappointed with the songs this year. Really liked the Hungarian song, and the Italian one. Sweden was a good performance but didn't think that much to the song. Think I missed the German one when someone knocked on my door. A few songs, like the Serbian one were almost very good but then just lacked something. Still reckon that our song was the best song. Better get ready for the voting; nil points for us I wonder?

Russian Grannies clearly haven't dealt with the "7 signs of ageing"!!
Greece and Spain can't afford to host glassortwo, I was expecting them to sing "Buddy, can you spare a dime?"

Do you think that's why some of this year's contributions were so dire - they didn't want to win?

Decided to watch the Swedish cop show but fell asleep and lost the thread.

Just got in, switched on and we've got........1 point. Have I missed much?

Oh, it's so embarrassing (if you care!). What a farce...
