Totally. We love it and have friends round every year, we have score sheets and bingo cards and jelly shots in the colours of the hosting country’s flag.

DonnaDarko · 16/05/2019 18:46

I'll be watching the second semi final tonight and have a sleepover planned with my sister to watch the final 😄 fricking love Eurovision!

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 16/05/2019 18:50

Ah thats great. My DD and I are looking forward to.
What country will you be watching from? We are in the UK. I hae no idea what our song is this year though.

It is fucking awful.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 16/05/2019 19:10

I love it. The whackier the better.

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 16/05/2019 19:49

All my friends know that Eurovision is one of my favourite nights of the year. Union Jack flags, score pads. I used to have some awesome Eurovision parties when I was single. Dh hates it and I think this may be the last year Ds pretends to like it.

PencereTencere · 16/05/2019 20:43

Bloody love it. One of my favourite nights of the year. I shall be enjoying with a takeaway and wine.

DrBuckles · 16/05/2019 20:45

Love it! Can’t wait.

I don’t watch the semi finals so everything is a surprise on the night.

And have our European buffet (even if it’s just me and DH.

SouthWestmom · 16/05/2019 21:10

Gosh that's slipped past this year. Usually a right old fuss in the media

froomeonthebroom · 16/05/2019 21:46

Love Eurovision. Normally have a group chat going with friends during the show but this year they're all busy (Take That concert amongst other things) so I'm on my own 😣. I will have wine and snacks anyway and annoy DH by commenting loudly on all the entries.

You clearly don't listen to radio 2 much. Every time I turn to radio 2 they are speaking about it!

Kpo58 · 16/05/2019 22:13

DD appears to have been enjoying the semifinals. She even said "night night singing" when it was her bedtime (well she is 3) Grin

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 16/05/2019 22:19

We could chat on here on the night. But keeping it clean. So with no politics, racism, sexual or rude remarks. Not saying you cant call them crap but lets keep it friendly Smile

I love it. It is so cheesey. Of course my blood pressure goes up at the voting but that is half the fun.

Kpo58 · 17/05/2019 15:36

The big question is, will we get any points (apart from Ireland, Malta and possibly Poland)?

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 17/05/2019 15:42

Australia sometimes give us a few points i think.

I'm very excited , but I'm the only person I know that is looking forward to it.

Asta19 · 17/05/2019 16:50

My (adult) DD has been a fan since she was little! So we have done both semi's already this week, with wine and snacks of course! And a friend of hers is coming over tomorrow for the final. The UK do badly because we send second rate acts with second rate songs! A lot of other countries send big stars (in their home country) and put a lot of effort in. It's not rocket science. Most countries don't treat it as a joke and the votes reflect that.

Look out for Iceland. It's....interesting Grin

Dontgiveamonkeys1350 · 17/05/2019 17:27

Yes yes yes. It’s a whole evening here. Pizza. Wine. Snacks. People sit and watch it all together. We vote and do points. Sadly it’s my favourite evening of the year. Even my teenager enjoys it. I have been counting Down the days Blush

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 18/05/2019 19:25

Not long to go now. Get your snacks ready people Grin
