Eurovision Rewatch: 1997 18/04 (20.00 BST)

[dmlaw]

It’s as if they burned all the books on everything in history ever at the turn of the millennium

It's not history for most of us.

DRUNK 1967 REWATCH STARTING SOON. Where's @Penelope ?

I'd be up for that!

 

[ButterTart]

I'm just astonished that Soldi knows who the Birmingham Six were. Do they teach that in schools these days?

They've started to mix history and numeracy together because of budget cuts. "Bridgewater four, Dave Clarke Five, Birmingham six..."

 

[Madison]

I saw the 1969 Dutch winner in the news earlier this week. She was serenaded old people trapped in care homes.

Hopefully flung into the Phantom Zone where she belongs!

Everything about this contest is SO CUTE. I miss the 90s.

The UK ain't half pulling away from everyone else.

Too forward thinking for Europe. @Penelope would tell you that, if she weren't trapped in the sex dungeon.

 

[Dark Carnival]

YAY Turkey 12 points!
