Eurovision 2022: Semi Final TWO (20:00 BST)

[ButterTart]

I do hope that all our Torino Girls are all proudly wearing their Union Jack leotards and not ambling around in stained cords grumbling and barking WELL WE DON’T EXPECT TO COME HIGHER THAN SIXTEENTH

At least they’d fit in with the locals.

 

[Penelope]

10 hours 20 minutes to go!

Lots of LOVELY EFFORT in that first post I see

“We would like to get behind him but he’s just a bit too NICE AND ENTHUSIASTIC FOR OUR TASTES”

In terms of attitude he’s the best thing that could possibly have happened to the UK at Eurovision and I feel like he needs to be canonised on his triumphant return. An MBE at the very least, the ‘I Tried’ sticker of royal honours.

I wanted to post about Macedonia and there was nowhere to do it

I'll put some fancy flags in NEXT TIME

Apprehensive about tonight, but it will rather helpfully decide my Saturday night plans.

 

[Soldi]

We can’t find anywhere selling flags!

 

[Beverley]

Thanks Bev. Now, in local news: is your cat a lesbian? Meet the man from Selly Oak who says he can tell just by sniffing them.

But @COB is right NEXT TO ME!

Can’t even BEGIN to predict how this shit show will PAN OUT!

 

[Lucille]

Anyway tonight’s snack is a WHOLE CAMEMBERT, in addition to the usual CRISPS and CHOCOLATE, as it was reduced to 37p in co-op and frankly it would’ve been RUDE NOT TOO.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This thread is now LIVE.

Admining whilst on holiday. Honestly

 

[Music]

 

[Marina Salty]

Deviated from tradition and my snacks for the night are chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers

 

[Lucille]

cheeseburgers

PLURAL

 

[Nancy]

Eurovision is about to begin

 

[RS]

Exciting!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

READY

 

[Lucille]

HERE WE GO, get your shower caps on girls, as things are about to get a bit TURDY.

 

[Nancy]

BBC3

 

[Lucille]

Remember I’m 60 seconds behind so sorry for repeating your jokes in advance.

 

[lolly]

I didn't realise Sam was a pocket straight

 

[FetchFugly]

Rylan dressing down a bit today I see.

 

[Nancy]

After all that, I had it on BBC1 by mistake and only realised my error when they announced Mary Berry.

 

[Sheena]

I entirely forgot that BBC3 is back on terrestrial and so am having to retune the tv in a rush.

I’ve missed the Eurovision anthem and everything!

 

[Lucille]

Oh Sam’s a bit sexier now I know he’s a DWARF.

 

[dmlaw]

It’s okay. You’re only missing an Italian trying to be funny.
