Yes folks - Eurovision is less than 2 weeks away. Woohoo!

[JoshandJamie]

I know I'm incredibly sad/strange person, but it's one of my favourite TV experiences. Someone share my excitement please.

Hopefully I'll be giving birth and miss the whole experience. It's AWFUL I tell you!

Can't wait till it's on!
DH isn't working that night, so we'll have the lyrics up on screen and have euro karaoke

but can any of you tell me why israel is in eurovison song contest?

You're not alone don't worry!
The boys will be packed off to bed early so we can get a take away and have a few drinks too

It's one of those really bad shows, that you just HAVE to watch!
DUSTIN for EUROVISION!

lol at mmj's excitement

ds(14) like it

Any excuse for me to link to this work of genius again. Check out the complicated moves at the end of the first chorus.

Sorry MMJ - had to nip off and do some work. But you are not alone in your excitement. I can't wait. My DH who's english thinks that I (South African) am barking mad to love it so much.

Another mad eurovision fan here. I love love love it. MMJ - I too am very sad enthusiastic and have a euro party with voting forms et al

I'm verrrry excited

Oh Eurovision is sooooo fab. Can't wait. Love it!

Nul poins for us this year I reckon though!!

dee - I think Israel is included in Eurovision because it's covered by the broadcasting area. Or something like that.

The Lowry is Salford are having a Eurovision skit type show in the run-up week. On the night of Eurovision itself they're going to include the proper results as well as the results from the stage show

hmm interesting Duchessofnorksbride then surely they should change name, bit confusing

..i thought it was cause they had nuclear weapons and we are not allowed to upset them on any level!..

what about
shitesongswithpredictablevoting-o-vision

will go away now

it's the predictable voting that makes it worth watching. It's politics in action. love it. And if the songs were any good, there'd really be no point watching it. There'd be nothing to make fun of.

i love eurovs. am hosting this year, must provide food or drink for every country. logistic horror esp since nothing is cnofirmed till last min with two semi finals.

that's a bit of catering undertaking, fishie
food and drink for every country

i so dont get it even more, youknow the songs will be shite and how everyone will vote and yet its a date on the calendar..

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeese!

my country's entry has reached new depths of ignominy, and we don't have Franco to help us this time

I invited a whole pile of friends from my post natal group round for it, and none of them can come! I must have company, but you guys will do as long as you're online!
