This is a video link with a city literally under siege.

 

[COB]

Sarajevo with LITERAL BLOOD ON THE WALLS

 

[dmlaw]

I’m going to have to call my straight brother and alert him to my FOLLY

I hope you realise that he's just going to pretend to be a taxi dispatcher again.

 

[Lucille]

Why is B&H presenting from what looks like a MURDER SCENE?

[COB]

Why is B&H presenting from what looks like a MURDER SCENE?

You know why.

 

[Penelope]

This is a video link with a city literally under siege.

That reminds me - I haven't played This War of Mine in years

 

[Soldi]

Why is B&H presenting from what looks like a MURDER SCENE?

Well the whole country pretty much was

 

[Penelope]

Malta obviously bunging a SHITLOAD OF CASH to pay for that satellite link

 

[Madison]

Why is B&H presenting from what looks like a MURDER SCENE?

Too soon.

 

[COB]

Another one stricken with the Bell's

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Another one stricken with the Bell's

Keep it to Sunday.

 

[ButterTart]

Russian lass is off her tits.

 

[Soldi]

Ooo this Russian lady

 

[COB]

I just realised I left Denmark out of my vote, I didn't mean to

 

[Raining on Me]

sorry but that is entirely the wrong attitude - this is 25 years ago, it’s not going to be 25 Fuegos?

The 90s have been disappointing and none more so than this. I'm still enjoying the experience and there are gems, even here

 

[Penelope]

Yoonarted Kiidough

 

[AGinAg (37)]

MORE NICE FLOWERS

 

[Lucille]

Russian lass is off her tits.

WHAT A HUN!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Good to see Ireland picking up very few points.

 

[ButterTart]

That reminds me - I haven't played This War of Mine in years

Genuinely one of my favourite ever games. The thrill when you see you've caught a rat and know that Zlata won't have to go to bed hungry.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

sorry but that is entirely the wrong attitude - this is 25 years ago, it’s not going to be 25 Fuegos?

Having said all that, I'm really loving some of the 1980s ones WAY MORE.

 

[Soldi]

Israel not top 5

 

[Lucille]

The 90s have been disappointing and none more so than this. I'm still enjoying the experience and there are gems, even here

I do hope we get one from the TENS on Saturday.

 

[Lucille]

SLAY SCANDINAVIA.

 

[COB]

Good to see Ireland picking up very few points.

Just as they planned

 

[Dark Carnival]

SLAY SCANDINAVIA.

We're obviously heading there in 1996

 

[ButterTart]

I do hope we get one from the TENS on Saturday.

I'm with you on that. Watching these old ones is a bit like flicking through the obituaries in the local papers.

 

[Kala]

I;m done in. I'm gonna head for the night, thanks all, enjoy the rest of the night!

 

[lolly]

Having said all that, I'm really loving some of the 1980s ones WAY MORE.

There's a definite step down from 80s to 90s. Just not quite sure when it happened.

 

[Soldi]

We're obviously heading there in 1996

Do you not remember who hosted when we watched 1996?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm with you on that. Watching these old ones is a bit like flicking through the obituaries in the local papers.

Hoping you find one you know right?

 

[Dark Carnival]

why the long face Austria?

 

[Madison]

The 90s have been disappointing and none more so than this. I'm still enjoying the experience and there are gems, even here

Don’t let it put you off 1993.

 

[Suomi]

Having said all that, I'm really loving some of the 1980s ones WAY MORE.

Melodifestivalen curiously has the same pattern - very ambitiously artpop eighties entries and then it’s almost as if everyone is scared into submission in the nineties.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Do you not remember who hosted when we watched 1996?

I didn't watch!

(apparently it was SHIT too)

 

[COB]

Brave of this woman to still do the votes despite being told her family had all died just before going on camera.

 

[dmlaw]

'Little Belgium'. He's inches from describing them as 'plucky'.
