Oh we really should make our OWN ENTERTAINMENT during these SHITE INTERVALS

 

[octophone]

Was it compulsory to have a moustache in 1981 if you went to buy a bass guitar?

[Dark Carnival]

The band looks POSITIVELY THRILLED!

 

[Suomi]

I am following along at home

 

[ButterTart]

Why do Irish intervals always feel like revenge for the famine?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

04. Xxz

 

[COB]

The tradwife on the fiddle is my best one, but I'm really clutching at straws to be honest.

 

[dmlaw]

I do still like Planxty, but this is fairly inexcusable. I can only assume that Christy Moore owed the head of the EBU money.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Was it compulsory to have a moustache in 1981 if you went to buy a bass guitar?

I hope it becomes a law again. With or without bass.

 

[Suomi]

Fuck, did that leave anyone else knackered?

 

[Soldi]

I do love how they used to just GET ON WITH IT ()

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh fuck my poodle perm. I'm here.

 

[Dark Carnival]

No televote?

 

[octophone]

Right - we're down to the hardcore. What the fuck does Eurovision have against the numbers 9 and 11 and does this link into Al Queda?

 

[ButterTart]

Get ready, if you listen carefully you can hear Jay Aston shout 'shove your points up your arse, you kraut bastard' at every country.

 

[Tisch]

On my paper they were written as NEX and I have no idea why so I had to look them up SUBSEQUENTLY

 

[dmlaw]

Austrian jury calling from under the sea.

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG SHE'S ACTUALLY ON THE PHONE! !

 

[COB]

Drama!

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG I CAN'T !

 

[Lucille]

What a MESS!

 

[octophone]

Ooooooh! Austria getting their arse handed to them on a plate.

 

[lolly]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

 

[lolly]

GET HER!

 

[Soldi]

“Can’t understand why you start by FIVE” what a stroppy BITCH

 

[Dark Carnival]

OH MY!

 

[Tisch]

EXCUSE ME DARLING

 

[ButterTart]

Voting bollocks up right from the get go. God bless the 80s.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Lovely clear scoreboard.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Is the crowd not allowed to cheer?

 

[Suomi]

To be fair what the FUCK did she think she was doing?

 

[Soldi]

YES IRELAND

 

[Tisch]

To be fair what the FUCK did she think she was doing?

Being an AUSTRIAN BITCH

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Right - we're down to the hardcore. What the fuck does Eurovision have against the numbers 9 and 11 and does this link into Al Queda?

I think it makes the top 2 more special.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh Terry complaining, there you go!
