[Tisch]

Ffs I’ve got plenty of gin but no tonic.

FUCKING DRINK IT YOU PUSSY

 

[Penelope]

Don't look BACK IN ANGER, look AROUND IN AWARENESS

Not quite so CATCHY I'll say

 

[AGinAg (37)]

A gay pride flag. Rarely seen up to this point!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Why the Oasis Reference?

 

[Penelope]

AIDS?

GET OVER IT

!

 

[D5K]

I think we can rearrange the schedule as we go along depending on the Saturday showing.

I reckon we set 2016 aside completely as the gold standard that we know Eurovision Again will get to on a Saturday sometime.

The schedule is a flexible document. It's mainly to stop bastards watching good contests at 4am on a work night.

[ButterTart]

There's an orphanage on fire across the road and I've pledged to rescue one child for every point the UK gets.

I bet I'll look proper heroic by the time this is over.

 

[Dark Carnival]

10 points POLAND? BYE

 

[Dark Carnival]

Yes Turkey!

 

[Lucille]

12 for Turkey

 

[Soldi]

NORWAY in SECOND

 

[Madison]

This is where the Irish televote will save the UK.

 

[D5K]

BTW this is one of my favourite scoreboards.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Just INJECT.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Fucking hell Malta got points!

 

[Penelope]

11 year old Pen at this point DEEPLY PANICKED by zero points for the UK from Ireland

 

[Soldi]

FUCK OFF IRELAND

 

[Dark Carnival]

Norway getting any points at all... ok

 

[Madison]

Terry hasn't spotted that the UK is in trouble.

 

[dmlaw]

Well, the Irish always did like boring old shit.

 

[lolly]

What a glamorous vest top

 

[Soldi]

Oh it’s the same Turkish lady again

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Terry is already being AWFUL.

 

[D5K]

It was always "Hi from Ankara" not "Hi from Istanbul" until they got to host it.

 

[Suomi]

There is something hilariously INEPT about Meltem Yazgan

 

[Dark Carnival]

AGOG at Austria getting points!

 

[Penelope]

! at 12 for Bosnia

 

[D5K]

AUSTRIA THIRD?!

 

[Lucille]

PICS PLEASE

CHEERS QUEENS.

 

[Madison]

I always knew the Irish televote failed and they had to use the jury, but I never realised we would have got nothing anyway. Wikipedia:

"On the night of the competition, the voting polls operated by Irish telecommunications company Eircom suffered a delay in delivering the results on time, which prompted RTÉ to use the votes of the back-up jury instead.[99] The EBU cleared RTÉ of any potential wrongdoing after an investigation on the matter and stated that the rules concerning substituting the back-up jury in place of the televote were correctly applied.[99] RTÉ later published the unused results of the televote, which showed that had the jury not been used, Turkey would still have won, and Ireland's voting "partners", the United Kingdom, would still have no points."

 

[Raining on Me]

Terry is already being AWFUL.

He is truly at his VERY WORST

 

[win_the_game]

AUSTRIA THIRD?!

BOSNIA FOURTH!?!

 

[Suomi]

Scream at “it’s really lovely”

 

[win_the_game]

Ms Malta is ropey as fuck.

 

[Tisch]
