Heartland

sorry, I have nothing to post, just thought tonight of all nights it was a good topic title

damn good title - made me look - nice play on words

YAWN...

haven't watched it I've been to a barbeque!
but yeah I get the joke too...

Thank you, and goodnight!

Go Ukraine!!!!

Andymackem nets £££££s on a 5/1 shot.

Better still, at the flat Eurovision party (I know, it wasn't really my idea), I netted further £££££s when everyone insisted Greece would win.

Never underestimate the Slavic block vote, or the joy of "ethno-military" costumes (their description, if you can be bothered with the E/vision website). Never a contest.

Haven't added it up yet, but probably earned close on £100, for a capital risk of barely £50.

Greece deserved it. YES i was dissappointed last night

Good God! Is that still going? Bring back Jeux Sans Frontiers. Much more entertaining. Cue Stuart Hall and the penguin suits.

Genaro was my favourite

My fav was the budgies who had to leap of a platform and hit the bell with their head before plunging into a pool of water....ahhh still makes me chuckle even now.

But ripping off half your outfit in mid-song is sooooo 1981. Just because it worked for Latvia a couple of years back doesn't mean everyone should do it.

Still, it was a big leap forward from the quintet of Gary Numan clones the Greeks sent out a couple of years ago. Something about a password?

Im not sure what bothers me more...

The fact that it seems that there is no need for the songs, at least not as far as the voting goes, or the fact that i care

Paddy.

I loved that program on Dutch television where people had to drive their cars over ramps and stuff... in reverse... with a caravan attached to it... hehehe... now THAT was quality television.

It was the biggest pile of dog poo ever to grace our screens. And I only watched the last half an hr!!

Oh dear, still remember them?

Someone told me the Turkish entry looked like a hardcore punk band - did anyone hear what the actually sounded like? I suspect more Busted than Exploited right?

Sunset Yellow: remember? I haven't laughed so much for three unbroken minutes for as long as I can remember. That year was the best ever for crappy Eurovision. The ugly Russian boyband were special as well.

Ian Smurf: They sounded like a band, one you might actually entertain the idea of hearing, as opposed to the usual Eurocrap. Unfortunately, they sounded like a very bad one. And they had a nasty line in 80s-style soundbiting going on. Looked to me like the Turks didn't think they could afford/be bothered to host it again and made sure they attracted attention but not success.

Paddy: Treat is as a grand divertissement. It makes more sense that way. And don't mess around with the block voting. It's not like it matters or anything.

The only solution, (which I'd quite enjoy) is for 24 anonymous acts to perform a song in the language of the host country. That way people vote on song and performance, not nationality. Now find me a Lame Academy reject who can sing in Ukrainian!

Yes i laughed too, oh God it was so ridiculous,

or should i say "embarasing"...

the Turks were great i think but even better were the Serbs,

that was a good song

as for the winner it reminded me of "Xena the warrior princess"

i hated Xena....

LOL - thanx for the info - but now I'm even more intrigued - if anyone knows of a link to a audio stream, let me know.

Oh...now thats a shame...

i'll not be entertaining your good self with witty comments from Xena's comic books that i painstakingly collected for just such a moment...
