Eurovision DRUNK rewatch - Birmingham 1998 - 09/05 23.45

[Tisch]

Actually I think I know 'laura' she's an Estonian lady isn't she?

 

[Lucille]

I don't know ANY OF THESE REFERENCES. I'm using lockdown to up my EUROVISION knowledge and I'm nearly there but not quite there love sorry

I don’t know WTF he’s going on about either hun.

 

[Lucille]

You're welcome. I'd probably put Dana third from this lot.

Who’s second, Netherlands?

I'd suggest that this would all make sense when we rewatch the 2017 final but maybe not as it turned out.

 

[Lucille]

I hate it when Turkey send white people.

Surely you must know Verona! It's required reading at gay school nowadays.

 

[Tisch]

He's talking SHIT

 

[dmlaw]

You're welcome. I'd probably put Dana third from this lot.

I'm not sure that she isn't going to be fourth for me, behind the UK, Finland and Croatia.

 

[Tisch]

Surely you must know Verona! It's required reading at gay school nowadays.

Of course I know Verona! I have her on social network

 

[ButterTart]

Who’s second, Netherlands?

Yep. Uncle John From the Hague is a fantastic song.

 

[Lucille]

I'm not sure that she isn't going to be fourth for me, behind the UK, Finland and Croatia.

Croatia is lovely but completely overshadowed by the MONOLITH they sent the year after.

 

[Lucille]

It’s a great show but the postcard soundtrack is so

 

[ButterTart]

I'm not sure that she isn't going to be fourth for me, behind the UK, Finland and Croatia.

I think I'd go UK, Netherlands, Israel, Sweden.

 

[dmlaw]

The Lightning Seeds to finish off the postcard music. I'm going to spend tomorrow listening to a load of nineties choons. Unless I forget this whole experience for some reason.

 

[Tisch]

If we're ranking postcards then M People first surely?

 

[Lucille]

FYR Macedonia man was probably quite a catch in his day.

 

[Tisch]

Poor FYROM being so proud despite sending barely a tune

 

[Lucille]

If we're ranking postcards then M People first surely?

I wish I’d lived with Heather Small’s son instead

 

[Tisch]

FYR Macedonia man was probably quite a catch in his day.

Oh I WOULD

 

[Lucille]

Still annoyed at how underwhelming France was when it should’ve been THE sultry banger of the night.

 

[Tisch]

I wish I’d lived with Heather Small’s son instead

Heather Proud's Small (son)

 

[Lucille]

Oh CHIARA

 

[Tisch]

Still annoyed at how underwhelming France was when it should’ve been THE sultry banger of the night.

Marie line was the cutie of the evening despite everything

 

[Tisch]

Oh CHIARA

She wore her best BLAZER and everything

 

[Lucille]

NOT SORRY.

I need to think about this...

 

[dmlaw]

I'm sure that I must have voted for something when this was originally on, but I have no idea what it would have been.

 

[Lucille]

Not sticking around for the scoring as we ALL know how this turns out.

Oh I've just poured myself another HALF

OH well you never know there might be a SURPRISE

 

[dmlaw]

Oh I've just poured myself another HALF

OH well you never know there might be a SURPRISE

There's a FULL HOUR left on the show. Not that I'm doing anything tomorrow morning.

 

[dmlaw]

Indie's still awake. Watch the voting with us @Indie

 

[Lucille]

Like myself it’s actually SURPRISINGLY tight.

 

[Tisch]

@Rachey

I honestly tried to watch it. I just couldn't and the whole thread baffled me.

I think I need to be drunker.

 

[Tisch]

Like myself it’s actually SURPRISINGLY tight.

That would be a surprise!

Still we have been quarantined for a WHILE

 

[Tisch]

I changed my Grindr main profile pic. That might give me some night time entertainment if this thread dies

It's true that we can be a touch impenetrable at times. I think that's the first time that word has ever been used to refer to Lucille.

 

[dmlaw]

Those treacherous French. It's like they learned nothing from Agincourt.
