[Penelope]

Oh god YELLOW AGAIN!

 

[Iguana]

In Deadwatch news, Pave died of Motor Neurone disease earlier this year.

But please God not Hector?

 

[Tisch]

The Iceland women DOUBLING UP as his backing singers I see. Hope they reported that to HMRC.

 

[Penelope]

But please God not Hector?

[Tisch]

That was fun, but I'm definitely aware of the WINE AFFECT upping its appeal

 

[Penelope]

Oh god is this what passes for a run of life in 1992?!

 

[Tisch]

SULTRY SWISS BIRD

 

[D5K]

Oh I like this one too!

 

[dmlaw]

Since Madison isn’t here, I must note the unacceptability of this Swiss cheating.

 

[Penelope]

Oh for HEAVENS SAKE, not fucking PETRA NIELSEN

 

[Tisch]

Is there a BOOK OF STATS conclusion out there for how well Switzerland have performed based on language? French must be their best non?

 

[dmlaw]

Is the theme for this year ‘haircuts from a women’s prison’?

 

[Penelope]

Is there a BOOK OF STATS conclusion out there for how well Switzerland have performed based on language? French must be their best non?

Easily - has both their wins, two silvers, plus a third place this year and another back in the 60s. They've come 2nd twice in German

[dmlaw]

You can sort of tell that Luxembourg’s hearts aren’t really in this anymore.

 

[Tisch]

Omg she's come as TEST CARD F!

 

[dmlaw]

They didn’t have the Barbara Dex Award in 1992, but she won it anyway.

 

[Tisch]

Fun fact about are Marion

Before and during her performance, she had an acute attack of malaria that seemed like a severe migraine. She became infected with malaria during a vacation in Kenya in 1990.

KWEEN!

 

[Penelope]

Really QUITE sorely needed that one!

I had no idea malaria had attacks!

 

[dmlaw]

Leon Ives plainly has a woman locked in his basement.

 

[D5K]

Oh dear this one isn’t Maria Magdalena

 

[Penelope]

I had no idea malaria had attacks!

Evil felt it had to take SPECIAL MEASURES when it came to 1992

 

[Tisch]

I had no idea malaria had attacks!

Before and DURING

 

[Penelope]

God the early 90s has so much to answer for

 

[Tisch]

Oh dear this one isn’t Maria Magdalena

I say during any Eurovision act (apart from Maria Magdalena)

 

[dmlaw]

I wonder if they had actually heard this before they asked him to come back next year.

 

[Penelope]

I say during any Eurovision act (apart from Maria Magdalena)

No - you're thinking of Marija Magdalena

 

[D5K]

I’ve just found on Wikipedia the Austrian national final for him the following year was called Veni Vidi Wegas

Oh god, I just know Michael Ball is going to sound like Euphoria after all this...

 

[dmlaw]

Michael “The Ball” Ball is actually a damn fine song.

 

[D5K]

Those backing singer outfits are a choice

 

[Penelope]

God, the TRUDGE of those guitars
