Anyone watching?
It's really boring this year, there's been no drag Queens or that turkey I really wanted to get through.

Its really boring, not as good as that drag queen last year

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT JOINT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eurovision is always good after a few (lot) drinks. Also i don't honestly see the point in entering unless the voting system, is changed.
Theres bloody pirates and half the participants are tripping on acid... What more could you ask for?

OMG OMG OMG
I just found out, RUSSIA WON!
And we came bottom of the table. Again. But that wasn't any real surprise.
I thought we would have atleast beaten Germany, I mean that drag queen was terrible compared to us.

yeah, that right. All i can say is that we were one of the best, not the worst. Block voting is still there, but i don't think it was as bad, as other years.

"The UK's Eurovision score was a reminder of how the whole world hates us."
I think this puts a wonderfully positive spin on it - anyway I am proud of losing a comptetition so obviously based on anything but merit :D

It's All A Conspiracy!
All The Baltic States Vote For Russia, And Vice Versa.
All The Balkan States Vote For Each Other.
It's Not A Matter Of Music, It's Politics Hidden Inside It.

We always have been, we are, and I hope that we always shall be, detested in Europe.

We always have been and always will even though with out us standing up to the Nazis, the Germany will have its Iron Grip on Europe and probably the world. Everyone seems to foget that...
Oh and Mother Russia is holding strong communism hidden behind a 'Democratic' veil. They have some rather exicting Green Teas made in Nuclear Reactors. Nice to see the KGB have found a way of using Nuclear biproducts. :D

You're basing that on exactly what is wrong with Euovision - that it is based on anything but talent.
JoeSavage
05-25-2008, 09:30
yeah well its European Politics Vision
make.me.smile
05-25-2008, 09:31
Can't argue with that.
JoeSavage
05-25-2008, 09:34
yup you can just about make out the countries which belonged to the USSR and the people they gave 12 points to Russia. lol anyway porbably the biggest shock was Montergro givign 12 to serbia didnt they ahev a big bust up and thats why they became separate countries?????? Seems like its rigged
Eurovision is obviously political voting all the way. I don't know why they bother.

I love eurovision for the music and the sheer hilarity of how crap most of the songs are. I personally don't care about who wins now as we will still have the same countries in it next year, the voting to me is no longer an important part of it as we all know it's all politics. Azerbaijan were mince but they did very well. Denmark had the best song, but they did mince. Enough said.

i'm sorry Dustin's song was amazing!
The voting wasn't that bad. Like Denmark dan ICeland? What was going on there?
Russia's song wasn't bad. Supposedly Timbaland produced it.

well you can see the iron curtain is still there as the majority of Western Europe we in the bottom other than Poland which they dont like and why do the Swiss vote aint they neutral XD

What a whole load of tosh - now that Wogan's considering giving up the commentary for it too, there's really absolutely no chance of me watching it next year.
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 12:58
I love Wogan! He's so funny he's commentary is hilarious aswell. If he gives up then I'll give up Eurovision!
It was kind of amusing last night when Estonia was going to vote. I said Latvia, Ukraine then Russia. Guess what order they were in...
For those who siad this year was too "normal" obviously didn't see the Latvian and Bosnian entries.
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 13:17
What ones were they? The crazy gayish man or the goth 50 year dressed like a 20 year old?
The latvians were the pirates, and the bsonians had the guy jumping out of the wash basket with those people with wedding dresses in the background.
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 13:32
How could I forget the pirates, they have officially ruined pirates of the carribean for me forever. I was surprised they had one point, I mean come on we were better than them.
make.me.smile
05-25-2008, 13:39
The pirates rocked! So much better than pirates of the carribean - that nearly ruined Johnny Depp for me...!
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 13:41
Johnny Depp looked like a sex bomb in that movie!
They looked like amateur weirdo's, especially the smiles I hate the smiles.
make.me.smile
05-25-2008, 13:46
Johnny Depp, for the first time in his life (and mine), did not make me druel. Pirates of the Carribean in general sucked and the pirates last night reminded me why I never could choose between Captain Hook and Peter Pan!
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 13:53
You are a disbeliever! You are thrown out of 'Johnny Depp 4 lyfe' club! You....infedel!
Ewwww peter pan, isn't that called kiddie fiddling? I never knew that did it for you lol I will never let this go by the way especially the hook part...
make.me.smile
05-25-2008, 13:57
lol - shame about the club, but you must admit he's a damn sight sexier in Chocolat (sexy man eating chocolate = im there). Peter Pan....okay I cannot defend myself - I just love the idea of let's never grow up and he can fly and oh God I sound like a right pedo....:S
How can you notbe in love with Captain Hook :P??
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 14:02
Ha
Sexy man covered in chocolate and im already there lol
You sound worse lol, peter pan is probably ever pedo's dream imagine that your like 50 and he's still the same. I don't think your ego could recover from the blow lol
Errr how about we start with the hook, somehow I can can't imagine a cosy winter night....with a hook he could take my eye out!
Plus he's a pirate and got a beard = unclean and probably got STD's
make.me.smile
05-25-2008, 14:25
I would stay forever young as well - duh. Hook is evil and cool - you cannot deny that! The hook might get in the way, but he can unscrew it. Him being a pirate is the reason he's sexy, the beard.....yeah can't defend that. I doubt he has STDs seeing as everyone's afraid of him and he gives no impression of being in any way unhygienic.
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 14:57
Oh so you'd drink magic cough syrup or something? I've never seen Peter Pan thank god. I always used to switch to the History channel whenever it came on. Mainly because I couldn't stand Wendy's rabbit teeth. Someone please file them! For her sake aswell as ours!
Puh, he's chubby probably couldn't spar he's way out of a box, and he's eyebrows are in need of some emergency treatment. It's like he's got a amazonian rainforest above he's eyes. And he's legs are really skinny, I could probably break them without any effort.
Why would you want him to unscrew it? Then he'll just look freaky with no hand, hey the ladies may not have been willing. Wouldn't put it past the writer, I mean come on a boy who is young forever? Who thinks of that apart from a sicko.
make.me.smile
05-25-2008, 15:03
Okay stop it right there - YOU'VE NEVER SEEN PETER PAN??!!!! You've had no childhood. I refuse to discuss this matter with you, especially as I might just cry...for your sake and for mine.
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 15:06
What's wrong with that? Im sure my mum made me watch it one point in my life. All I can remember is Wendy standing at the window at the end watching that fly woman whatever her name was and Peter fly away. What's wrong with that I think I've had MORE of a childhood because it would have scarred me for life lol. I hate happy endings!
make.me.smile
05-25-2008, 15:23
It's not exactly a happy ending. And Wendy is annoying - girls always are in these films (I could scream sexism, but I know how annoying and soppy some of my sex can be). Okay, how about batman vs superman?
:Vampiress:
05-25-2008, 15:36
Batman definantly, superman is a alien I don't want to be having children sprouting wings or something. Plus he's rich, sexy and got a sick car. What more could a woman want?

05-25-2008, 15:44
Wogan's always ****ed when he does it, he slurrs his words, jolly good though!

05-25-2008, 15:55
Good choice - batman hands down.

If I remember right then the author was abused as a child...

Thanks to you both for just ruining Peter Pan, and therefor part of my childhood for me - thanks a bunch!

Snap followed by the Spanish one-that was just...weird, which is what I want to see on Eurovision. I liked the Danish one too but the rest were boring.

Ahh, the Spanish one...it left me speechless!
Remind me which one the Danish was again. Was it the one with the clothes line, the knitting brides, the derranged man and the girl with the apples on her skirt?
Eurovision is all about the weird, wonderful and cheesy!

I had my head in my hands from the beginning of the Spanish one as soon as he played that kids plastic guitar.
The one with the washing line was Bosnia and Herzegovina, again strange. The Danish one just had a catchy tune but too be honest I can't remeber what it was called, it wasn't eye-catching just a man singing but I it was catchy.

ah yeah the Spanish one - it's just a **** take of the Reggaeton genre i thought?
Denmark's song was All Night Long - Simon Mathew (http://www.eurovision.tv/event/artistdetail?song=24506&event=1470)
I didnt think the Bosnia and Herzegovina song was that bad really , it was better than the french one; that was terrible. The russian song wasn't that bad either so at least this time the block voting system made a good song win

The French one was really really strange, what were they ment to be singing about?? My little brother thought they were representing Jesus.
I'd rather Greece have won than Russia

the swiss are more non-belligerent than neutral ... Ireland's Neutral too (except it's a weird 'triple lock' neutrality - a war must be approved by the Government, Dáil Éireann, and the UN Security Council) /// The swiss i think sent soldiers to Bosnia

05-26-2008, 16:23
The Swiss have 500,000 person army and every man in between 20 and 40 can be called up.
anyway.
why were the french backing singers wearing Beards?

To quote sir terry the four brides of frankenstein and a loony with a washing line:D
I have ben trying to think of the most unbiased way of doing it without ruining the show, but it is always going to be biased.
If Terry leaves myself and my fellow TYGs and TOGs will stop watching, that would be a huge blow to the beeb and the contest

Maybe they were representing the guy with the beard in ABBA?;)
