Make me dizzy from your kisses - Eurovision 2024

[On The Ball]

"Come on you know you'll all be watching! There are even a couple of 'theys' to tick WHO's boxes ;) We've got a belter of a song - we can't win because Croatia (at least) are just too good, but it's a great song. Slightly surprised to see Israel climbing up the odds to second favourite - it's not bad, but it's not great - and I suspect a good number of people won't vote for them (and it's on too early). There are some other corkers - Switzerland, Netherlands, Finland (ish) - even France are decent. I have genuinely forgotten the Swedish song 'Unforgettable'. Germany are trying their luck with entering oiur song from a couple of years ago. Dizzy is no Space Man, though. Anecdote - in Turin, as they were announcing the last couple of votes to see if us or Ukraine would win, I could see behind the stage that they were getting Sam Ryder's staging ready - I really thought we'd won. It wasn't quite ""There will be four minutes of added......"", but it was close. You'll all be delighted/relieved to hear that I managed to get a ticket a couple of weeks ago after refreshing the site a few times an hour every day for months. My outfit is all ready to go (just a couple of rhinestone replacements)!"

THE BUMMING OF GARY

[the exile]

"Gave up on it years ago and it looks like it's got a great deal worse. From the snippets and trailers I have seen, completely unwatchable."

[Fauxstralian]

"Its basically the Euros for GAYS , innit? Given the world leading UK music industry I am not sure why they dont railroad the likes of Adele or Robbie Williams to do it I suspect there might be a massive public vote for Israel just to wind up the virtue signallers. Every country will vote in their blocks as usual and the British entry will be late on stage because he will be delayed bumming On The Ball in the carpark outside"

I'll be watching the MK Dons try and come back from a 3-0 deficit against Crawley........ otherwise I'd be well up for it.

"After repainting my front room, I'll be sitting in one corner watching the paint dry while the Eurotrash thingy is going on."

"twoleftfeet 6:50 Fri May 10 If she turned up to protest at the World Cup Final, would football be dead? Don't talk soft. Trundle - there are elements of that, but not really. Just a bit of fun. Things have changed since the 80s - there are a few more channels now! It's still watched by hundreds of millions, and I'd guess it's getting more popular here as they never used to show the semis at all, then they were on BBC3 (one of their minor channels anyway), and this year they were on BBC1"

[Lee Trundle]

"I never watched it, but apparently it was something families used to sit down and watch together in the 80s. Its.just a ""I'm gayer then you are"" contest now, isn't it?"

[twoleftfeet]

"It's full of degenerates, perverts and activists. It use to be great fun but you know when Greta Thunberg turns up to protest about Gaza that the show is dead. I'll watch a rerun of the 1978 show from Paris, now that was peak eurovision."
