Anyone else want to chat shit and join me on Saturday night for Not-Eurovision on the BBC?

Or just share opinions on what were supposed to be this years entries to get their Eurovision fix?

I'm in. What are you bringing for the Euro buffet?

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 15/05/2020 07:20

I'm gutted there is no Eurovision this year. I think I'll watch the replacement programs though.

I always loved the voting best and every bloody year I forget they've changed the voting and it's just not as good!

Can't watch the stuff that is on tonight as I will be working. Shame! I really missed the Eurovision, though it is no good for my blood pressure!

Deathraystare · 15/05/2020 07:44

OOps it is tomorrow (I think!).

dunno what day it is, just turn up at work and assume I am working then!

I'm using eurovision for inspiration for home school today.

DS was supposed to do something else with a map and flags so....
