This supervisor is a right cunt. Please tell me he died with a binbag on his head and a tangerine in his mouth.

 

[Soldi]

“bit more slow please”

 

[dmlaw]

Yeah, I was just thinking that I wished they could go more slowly.

 

[Lucille]

Yes let’s go MORE SLOW.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh WOW THIS DIVA!!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This guy is an EPIC FUSS POT.

 

[ButterTart]

Jesus, this guy's on a raging comedown.

I heard he was the one that created covid-19 in a lab but I don’t like to spread rumours.

 

[win_the_game]

So who's counting up the Moopy votes?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Yugoslavia just going points

 

[lolly]

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

In the melodifestival I watched earlier, they scored each country starting with the country who performed first, regardless of the score. Perhaps it was a thing sometimes.

 

[ButterTart]

It just feels weird hearing them say 'Yugoslavia'. It's like awarding points to Rhodesia.

@David_5000 luvya babes

From perming fluid and Just For Men, one assumes

 

[Tetris-Rock]

It's a shame that the UK public's constant deference to Bucks Fizz at the first mention of Eurovision, even in the THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2020, means that the very mention of them or the performance is EYEROLL inducing for me these days.

Did you never play Street Fighter and have to fight Zaghief from the USSR?

 

[ButterTart]

That was how he was found. Curiously, it wasn't how he died.

Remember for Deathpool.

I also like how Germany is THE Germany, like the other one doesn't COUNT

 

[Soldi]

PORTUGAL 8 BOA NOITE

 

[Soldi]

What even was FRANCE? @Dark Carnival EXPLAIN HUN

 

[Dark Carnival]

FRANCE AGAIN?!

YES TERRY EAT THAT YOU LITTLE BITCH

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That was NEVER a thing!

Did you not LOVE IT? Because in the context of the 1981 contest i loved it a lot.

 

[Dark Carnival]

What even was FRANCE? @Dark Carnival EXPLAIN HUN

It was the Third Republic at that point.

 

[Soldi]

Ooh a FRENCH LANDSLIDE, what even WAS THEIR ENTEY

 

[Dark Carnival]

I think we're going to win

 

[Tisch]

Poor first time Cyprus getting left on nothing when their was quite good

 

[ButterTart]

Did you never play Street Fighter and have to fight Zaghief from the USSR?

Oh yeah. Zangief always seemed like the sort of person Zu Klara would beg for their phone number.

 

[Soldi]

I think we're going to win

I HOPE YOU DO

 

[Dark Carnival]

Seriously, were these AMATEURS doing it for the first time!

 

[dmlaw]

Ha, yes, they did have the exact same technical problem with the Song For Europe scoreboard.

 

[Tisch]

It was the Third Republic at that point.

Mitterrand on TENTERHOOKS right now

 

[Dark Carnival]

Cyprus getting their first ever points!

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Did you not LOVE IT? Because in the context of the 1981 contest i loved it a lot.

I can see why it won, but LORD i'm sick of it.

 

[Soldi]

Ha, yes, they did have the exact same technical problem with the Song For Europe scoreboard.

It’s good old MARGARETS fault

 

[Dark Carnival]

Cyprus getting their first ever points!

Remember it's thanks to THIS that we got Ivi

 

[Tisch]

Oh yeah. Zangief always seemed like the sort of person Zu Klara would beg for their phone number.

Without question! I was always more of a Vega girl

 

[ButterTart]

Seriously, were these AMATEURS doing it for the first time!

This is basically what Irish television looks like now. We're talking about a country where Brian Dowling is still a celebrity.
