"This is my own particular favourite"
Brace yourselves, lads, white bloke with the musical equivalent of a margherita pizza incoming.

 

[COB]

Peter, Sue and Marc Too

 

[Suomi]

Terry is so POSITIVE about these songs, it makes quite the difference

 

[Lucille]

PETER, SUE and MARC.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Fun fact: the Swiss lot are into Postman Pat cosplay.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh dear the teeth!

 

[Suomi]

Omg I die when I hear pan pipes - the most human instrument

 

[octophone]

I could store a couple of Miles Davis boxsets in the gaps in his front teeth.

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is a favourite to win, Terry?

 

[Tisch]

Terry is so POSITIVE about these songs, it makes quite the difference

I just like he's neutral and flowing it all along. That's the point of the native language commentators.

 

[COB]

The male singer is giving me JUST JAN with the amount of effort and I'm hating it quite frankly

 

[Lucille]

Terry has TERRIBLE TASTE.

 

[ButterTart]

"This is my own particular favourite"
Brace yourselves, lads, white bloke with the musical equivalent of a margherita pizza incoming.

You know sometimes when you look at someone and just think 'fucking Hell mate, I really don't understand your teeth'.

 

[Suomi]

Oh dear the teeth!

They’re just so distracting, I can’t think about anything else except dentistry during lockdown

 

[Tisch]

Terry has TERRIBLE TASTE.

That's why he's DEAD

 

[COB]

Was someone BOOING it?!

 

[octophone]

Excitement reaching FEVER PITCH in the audience.

[ButterTart]

"Indeed, only win". They've won FIVE TIMES, dickhead. If you can't get basic facts right it's no wonder you're dead.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Yugoslavia going tits up did really double the number of European countries!

 

[COB]

He's the damned Joker!

 

[Tisch]

I always forget abba's victory was in BRIGHTON.

Ooh he's HANDSOME

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oooh gloves

#flattenthecurve

He was into fisting.

 

[octophone]

I always forget abba's victory was in BRIGHTON.

That was how the gay got into the UK.

 

[Suomi]

I thought he said the best songs were at the end, they were clearly at the beginning...in 1997
