    Sunday night..................it's on again!

    Every year my family keeps tradition and we watch hours of hilariously bad/not so bad european pop music. From remote places like Estonia to Malta and Germany, it's on for young and old.

    We usually invite fellow ESC fans/friends and we consume good wine, watch the show and have a fun night.

    ABBA launched into their career by winning eurovision in 1974 with 'Waterloo'.

    Here is the web site.......................enjoy

    Am I a gay man? About 6 years ago there was this Belgian guitarist that had the most ridiculous little dance moves. We'd taped it, so watched him on a loop for another hilarious hour afterwards.

    Do you get the Terry Wogan commentary in Oz? He's pleasingly snide.

    Terry Wogan's commentary makes it worth watching - he shows no mercy

    Lets face it Britain couldnt do any worse this year than last (nil points), with the out of tune singers we picked to represent us lol

    Yes we will be watching - nothing better on on Saturday nights anyway !

    Sorry..........................can't answer that..................LOL

    Terry use to do the commentary but we have our own guys now.

    One thing I don't get is why is Israel in it and not Italy??????????? Go figure. I still love it.

    What do you think of some of the gear they get into? Hilarious fashion statements hey!

    Cheers, Bliss

    The Italians don't enter because they think it's too trashy. Have you heard their pop music - it's perfect for eurovision! I've tried to explain the concept to some Italian friends but they just don't get it.

    Last years UK entry was abysmal, but I loved the fact that some thought it was as a result of the war that there were nil points. This years entry is the dull guy from the BBC reality programme. Shame, he lacks euro pizzazz.

    I love it how Greece and Cyprus always give each other the maximum points.

    Yep it's so predictable who will vote for who. Spot the voting country below: Royaume Uni, nil points. Norvege..... 1 point. Alemagne...beaucoup points! Englishman.

    I will be watching it. A mate of mine is having a big party and will fill his house up with people watching it. And yes he is gay, and so am I.
