Eurovision 2023 News

[win_the_game]

I’ll get involved this year of course and I want to be part of the atmosphere, but for example the nightclub they’re creating which will open for 3 weeks and play Eurovision tunes all night every night fills me with DREAD

We promise you it's not all like this:

 

[dmlaw]

Scott Mills must be fuming

@VoR Is just disappointed that his offer to black up and exaggerate his Liverpool accent didn’t help him to make the cut.

 

[Suomi]

@funky here are some Eurovision songs I think you’ll like:





Please listen and comment xxx

 

[Suomi]

Brace yourselves girls

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Also for @funky

 

[win_the_game]

Scott Mills must be fuming

They'll have him presenting the GLAMOROUS and HIGH PROFILE Eurovision green carpet event.

 

[funky]

I’ll come back to you all but a “challenge funky to like a Eurovision song” thread sounds like fun

 

[funky]

‘Locals’?

Wanna leather him @funky ?

Be kind and offer him a scouse kiss

 

[RJN]

I’ll come back to you all but a “challenge funky to like a Eurovision song” thread sounds like fun

I was missing the stress caused by your Kylie thread

 

[funky]

I do love to cause a bit of stress

 

[Penelope]

Guys maybe you should all stop caring what brexit_dad_79 and a few locals think

 

[lolly]

Is this how he feels when he has to explain the offside rule during the World Cup?

 

[funky]

Guys maybe you should all stop caring what brexit_dad_79 and a few locals think

My opinion is important

(In my head)

 

[lolly]

Anyway is isn't TEACHING THE CHILDREN what being a gay is about?

 

[Kratz]

This. I really couldn’t care less about trying to explain Eurovision to others or (moreover) getting those who look down on it to change their minds. Who cares. It’s their loss.

Babes 'locals' doesn't mean Scousers here check urbandictionary

 

[Penelope]

There's TEACHING THE CHILDREN and then there's FALLING ON DEAF EARS WITH BASICS

 

[funky]

Babes 'locals' doesn't mean Scousers here check urbandictionary

But does it still apply to me?

 

[MegaDolly]

@funky is a local if they said stuff like this:

EUROVISION? We left Europe now they’re STEALING OUR MONEY for a “singing” contest Brexit means Brexit It hasn’t been any good since Brotherhood of Man won in the 70s when people made REAL music The UK could sent Freddie Mercury, Adele and The Beatles all together and get NIL POUR.

It’s like I’m LOOKING IN THE MIRROR!

I’m going to turn up to the Pier Head with a big banner of Nigel Farage’s face, dressed as Cheryl Baker in the miniskirt.

The banner will read WE ALREADY MADE OUR MIND UP!!!!1!!

I was hoping you’d do something different to your usual Friday night

Halli Post of the Week

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Were we aware the UK government is putting money into this? Finally tax payers money being spent well.

 

[Lucille]

Probably a good idea to invest in this given how TOXIC OUR BRAND IS!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Well Michelle Donelan seemed very enthused about it.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Does the whole thing really only cost 10 million? That seems low somehow.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I assume this means Scott Mills will be doing the Radio 2 commentary then?

 

[Soldi]

He might be busy doing the BBC One commentary if Graham is hosting..

 

[ZenGiraffe]

He might be busy doing the BBC One commentary if Graham is hosting..

I thought Graham said he was doing commentary already?

 

[HalamaK]

Turin was about €16, give or take a few million. Your figure is probably just the BBC budget.

 

[Pingu]

Graham is definitely doing the BBC One commentary, whether he’s hosting or not.

Also AS IF they’d give Scott Mills that gig.

 

[GNL]

But how much of that €16 mill was spend on r&d, construction and installation of the sun?

 

[win_the_game]

Graham could do the commentary and hosting. They let Terry Wogan do that the last time we hosted.

 

[Lucille]

BRING BACK ULRIKA!

 

[Pingu]

Graham could do the commentary and hosting. They let Terry Wogan do that the last time we hosted.

Yeah and if we end up with 3-4 hosts then the actual time he spends hosting would be fairly tokenistic anyway. Ulrika did all the heavy lifting in 1998, I think Wogan was on stage maybe 3 times in total.

 

[Kratz]

I’d love to see Claudia Winkleman host (with Meryl in the Green Room)

 

[Marina Salty]

If I was the BBC I'd use Diane Morgan for it.

I heard her saying that The Traitors was filmed in May, so if there’s a series two running to a similar schedule…

 

[Soldi]

Hoping for a Cunk on Eurovision special at some point.
