Who's Going To Be Watching.

Have to say it was a very poor offering.

 

"Brexit aside, the UK’s ongoing refusal to put even a modicum of effort into the song and act it sends to the contest continues to pay dividends – if those dividends are valued in an embarrassingly low score."

Sounds completely believable. We just keep blaming Johnny Foreigner because we're crap. Didn't watch it, I got this gut feeling it might just be a load of old bollocks.

 

I have been half heartedly reading this thread with a modicum of ‘couldn’t give a shit’ but then @Smilinjack it dawned on me. Something someone said many posts ago. No country actually wants to win. It’s a burden to host and quite probably fcuking embarrassing to boot.

On this basis I think our UK entry has been a resounding success. Just musical enough to be called a tune but enough of a cacophony to assure we lose (therefore win).

Genius.

Just don’t tell Johnny Foreigner or they will each give us 12 points. Spiteful bastards…

 

Do you know Cybor, I think you've jolly well hit that pointy thing right on the bonce.

 

Heard a little snippet of (useless) information this morning on the Chris Evans show. Apparently we chuck a load of cash at the Eurovision Song Contest and that gives us a “bye” (is that spelled right?) into the final!
So let’s get this right. We pay to get to the final, as do others, then get shat on.
Personally I’d rather we didn’t bother but I know that won’t happen.

PS I still don’t give a flying f-€|> about it all.

 

Looks like we're paying about half a million for the privilege, God forbid we win and have to host.

Let's get Nigel Farage on the job....

I do hope that no inanimate pointed metal fixings or percussive hand tools were harmed in the making of that post.

 

We pay so automatically get in.
That's why Israel and Australia are also included!

 

Israel and Australia? My geography isn’t up to much but are they now in Europe?

They should rename the event. Maybe the “any bugger can playavision song contest”.

 

Who actually pays the money? Is it tax payers or the BBC (therefore also tax payers)?

 

and the winner is a band that looks like a cheap copy of Rammstein, and the second is the french lady that copy all codes from Edith Piaf. So cliché.. someone should tell them music proposed a lot of fresh stuff since Edith Piaf (eurk)
