HOMOPHOBIA ALIVE AND WELL IN 90s IRELAND

"THANK YOU FOR THE PORTUGUESE WORDS"

 

[Tisch]

Can I say a few words in Portuguese please?
Uhhhhuuuhhmmmm

 

[Madison]

Annoyingly, the votes given by Spain earlier were faulty. It doesn't affect the final result (thank God) - but Germany are missing 12 points, Israel is overstated by 2 points, and plenty of others by 1 point.

 

[Lucille]

6? Points?? BOOOOOO!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

When WERE ALL DRUGS LEGALISED in PORTUGAL?

Still AGOG at this deep knowledge. You’re doing the lords work Mad. And to think I always thought you were an emotionless sociopath!

 

[VoR]

God the STATE of the Romanian satellite feed.

From 5 million sales for Candle In The Wind to 1 point for Sweden

Who's this guy? Matt Lucas?

Radio 2!

The Spanish broadcaster tallied every country correctly except for their winner - Germany. Instead of giving them 12 points, they gave them nothing, bumping everyone else up one position.
