Don't forget your subtitles!

I’m in the “anyone but Austria” camp this evening.

I like it too and it doesn't deserve to come last by any stretch. I think the staging has let it down though.

i went to austria by accident and i thought i would see kangaoroos and koala bears so i was very very disappinted

Ohh no !!

I forgot to ask /check earlier...

Is there a printable " thing " D's and I can have for comments and marks ??

Not sure I have got time to make our own .

I’m admittedly a bit late to the party, but have done a mega quick YouTube dive into all the entries, is Austria the one with the guy on a boat, with an amazing opera like voice?
we’re having crisps, nibbles and wine……lots of wine (French and Italian )
Sweden is fun, think I’ve missed Finnish entry so must go and listen to that

Your link didn't work for me. Does this? https://x.com/RoyalFamily/status/1923669992203010307

Completely fab. Although... Band of the Irish Guards? Bad luck Laika.

I once managed to end up in Austria despite being on a direct flight from Cyprus to the UK. The runway at Vienna is not an exciting place to spend a couple of hours sitting on a plane.

I’m low on snacks. Just polished off the Polish biscuits (see what I did there). Will have to also go Mexican and have some nachos.

Yes. That’s Austria. I really dislike both the song and the staging. I’d be happy with any of Sweden, France, Finland. I really like Albania this year.

You can really hear My Life when it’s just instrumental

Right then <clears throat>

NORWAY Gjetost (sweet, brown cheese)
LUXEMBOURG Potato salad (there is a Wiki page about the cuisine of Luxembourg, but I didn't fancy jugged hare or liver dumplings, so potatoes it was)
ESTONIA Kama (powder made from grains/legumes)
ISRAEL Falafels and houmous
LITHUANIA Rye bread and Funny Mushroom biscuits
SPAIN Watermelon (the label said it was grown in Spain!) and a Waitrose tapas selection
UKRAINE Garlic-flavoured rye chipa
UNITED KINGDOM Farmhouse Lancashire cheese
AUSTRIA Viennese whirls (thank you, Mr Kipling )
ICELAND Skyr
LATVIA Some wafers I found in the local Lithuanian shop (source of all the Baltic food)
NETHERLANDS Massive wedge of Old Amsterdam cheese
FINLAND Finn Crisp (rye crisp breads)
ITALY Crosta & Mollica Bolli crackers (which are honestly like crack to me) and some Noccelara olives (ditto)
POLAND Mushroom-flavoured cream cheese
GERMANY Pumpernickel bread and a Ritter Sport bar
GREECE Spanakopita
ARMENIA Some walnut and rose biscuits that I found in a Bulgarian shop
SWITZERLAND Kaltbach cheese and Milks chocolate
MALTA Erm, a bag of Malteasers
PORTUGAL Tin of sardines (kicking myself for not thinking of custard tarts until much later)
DENMARK Lurpak (but we don't eat meat, so can't have bacon, and it will be useful for the crackers, maybe...?)
SWEDEN Gifflar cinnamon rolls
FRANCE Brie and Comté cheeses (yes, there's a lot of cheese)
SAN MARINO Marinated artichokes (tbh, I'm not sure that they really have them in San Marino, but SM is practically Italian anyway, and "marinated" sounds a bit like "Marino", so...)
ALBANIA Ajvar red pepper paste

Hmm, that does sound a bit mad now I've written it all down

Or I have Eurovision bingo if you’d prefer

Ohhh nooo brain is muddled !!

I didn't watch DW last week 😔.
Now I seem to have to watch it 😂.

Now it.makes sense why the wanted NC to do the votes.

They should have replaced him with Rylan !!

I like to be surprised on the day so I have seen none of the entries including our own. I hope it's an improvement on last years...

I get sidetracked by how brilliant peoples voices are and it’s not really about that is it. In awe of his voice (Austria).
like Sweden and can see it being popular. France was good, but then I love the language so could listen to that all day! On first watch I wasn’t that keen on Finland, seemed a bit dated but maybe it’s a ‘grower’
Albania? I need to go and find that as think I’ve missed that one!

OldAmsterdam I am very, very impressed

Am I watching the right Channel…am confused!

Er? Not getting it? Do I need a link?

That’s flipping amazing. Can imagine Charles and Camilla sitting there foot tapping away. The flag is up so assume they’re there .

Billy Joel

Oh wow! That sounds delicious you’re going to be either very full or have lots of leftovers. Enjoy x

👏 bravo!

Loving the Maltesers 😂

Checking in!

Interesting.

AI reckons: "Yes, the UK's Eurovision song, "What the Hell Just Happened," has been compared to Billy Joel's "My Life" due to its similar musical structure, specifically the double-time groove. The BBC reports that the song explodes into a baroque rock opera before transitioning into a double-time groove that recalls both Laura Branigan's "Gloria" and Billy Joel's "My Life".

I'm musically ignorant so if the tune isn't similar I'm lost. What's a double-time groove?
