Any other sad person watching, now, on BBC 3 the first of the Eurovision Song Contest semi finals????

I think we stand a good chance of getting some points this year, hoo ra.

Grace liked the Swiss entry it made her prick up her ears!

Soutra Sat 10-May-14 21:58:54

UK song oh dear sad

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 22:00:24

Well done, Mollie. Sorry Soutra I thought it was good.

POGS Sat 10-May-14 22:04:59

Soutra. sunshine

Go Molly.

Seriously they were all very good weren't they.

As Merlot said now comes the AAAAgh moment. grin

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 22:14:38

What's happened????

Apart from one or two we've had some proper songs this year. smile

Aka Sat 10-May-14 22:17:20

OMG..... Just tuned and they're singing a song about the number 12? What planet am I on?

Ana Sat 10-May-14 22:32:11

I didn't think they were 'all very good'! That one about moustaches...hmm Most of them sounded so similar (although I admit I had the sound turned down).

The woman presenter reminds me of the ballerina inside the musical box I had when I was 10.

Or the fairy on the Christmas tree! I have Sweden as first, and Spain second, but I`m always wrong.

If I were 50 years younger I'd be out there with them rocking and rolling the night away. Now its time for my cup of cocoa before the voting starts.

Ukraine gives Russia 12 points.

It's not political at all hmm

POGS Sat 10-May-14 22:57:10

No points from Malta. We're doomed Captain Mannering. grin

My DH old Grandad used to say it was a fix in the old days so he will now be turning in his grave. shock

Ana Sat 10-May-14 23:16:34

And the UK continues to give substantial funding to this farcial 'contest'...angry

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 23:20:49

Spain obviously still wants us to go there for our holidays and the Queen must have put on a good 'do' for Ireland.

gillybob Sat 10-May-14 23:22:16

It is really beyond a joke isn't it?

I was kinda thinking of having a reverse contest and voting for the worst possible country thinking ha ha ha you will have to fund this farce next year! grin

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 23:22:54

I thought Ukraine had already voted.

Must pay attention.

Aka Sat 10-May-14 23:28:31

I've turned off and will find out later what's happened, but did anyone really expect anything different this year?

POGS Sat 10-May-14 23:29:10

To be fair even the UK voted for Austria to win. Not me, grrr.

It was political, yes but a hell of a lot better than usual.

It's all sport don't you know. [sod it emoticon]. grin

papaoscar Sat 10-May-14 23:29:50

Time to take some sleeping powder!

POGS Sat 10-May-14 23:30:28

We beat France and Germany. Hoora

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 23:31:08
