There were less good songs here than I thought, it just happened that the good ones were fucking exceptional.

I'm not staying for the voting BYE

 

[Penelope]

This Marie N interval is like an advert for probiotic yoghurt that's really sorted out her IBS

 

[Tisch]

Help what is happening

 

[Soldi]

Yes @Soldi its break time. Let's get to know you a bit.

Age? Location? Preferred fisting lube?

19 / some rural village full of old racists in deepest darkest Derbyshire/NO PREFERENCE

 

[Penelope]

I'm not staying for the voting BYE

It's worth it!

 

[lolly]

Like fucking Malta all over again

Insipid bint

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is the bitch that brought us to LATVIA?

 

[Lucille]

Yes @Soldi its break time. Let's get to know you a bit.

I reckon he's a LURPAK girl

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Possibility of being biggest rewatch yet, surely

Should do. Only 300 posts to beat Russia last weekend.

 

[lolly]

NINETEEN?

 

[Soldi]

What a load of shite

 

[Dark Carnival]

Piss/win refill break bye

You don't have to stay for the vote, but you should definitely stick around for Penelope trying to forcibly start a drunken rewatch of 2016 and having to be tasered into unconsciousness.

I reckon her from Deacon Blue.

HANDS OFF GIRLS!

 

[Penelope]

I DO think we should do 2016, I've got PLENTY OF GIN LEFT

 

[D5K]

I'd say the overall quality isn't quite as high as 2009 or 2012. But it's such a charming year without any massive lows, and the slight old-school low-budget feel really makes it a classic.

FUCK OFF AGAIN

If she STARTS, I'll come back and SORT HER OUT

The voting does elevate it over 2009 and 2012 to the rarefied 2016 leagues though.

 

[Tisch]

Should do. Only 300 posts to beat Russia last weekend.

And we have the whole vote to do yet. I'm surprised. I'd have though Saturdays would've been much bigger than Wednesday's. Maybe they're just getting BIGGER AS THEY GO.

Who needs 2020? Pah.

 

[lolly]

Clearly Riga never had any branches of Toni and Guy in 2003

Quite right, ANY WILL DO.

And 19 eh? Where's @Eileen?

 

[Soldi]

There’s always 1999 if Penelope goes all Hitler again

Oh that's a point, I'd forgotten that

You're just asking for a banning love. We have a SCHEDULE don't you know.

Nothing quite like ORGANISED FUN!

I've barely touched tonight's ALBARINO.

 

[ButterTart]

I love a fourteen hour interval act which doesn't even happen on stage.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Please don't let Latvia ever host again!

Where did I leave that pitchfork?

To be honest I'm disappointed with 2016 being given a midweek slot at all. Just have to hope the larger event gets there first.

 

[Tisch]

I haven't actually watched a 1999 yet so if it happens I MIGHT be there

 

[Lucille]

“I can always replace you”

Things got DARK QUICKLY.

 

[D5K]

I do like a good albarino.

 

[Tisch]

The grunroorooroommrmm..

Is it? That should probably be a Saturday affair.
