Eurovision Song Contest.

Last time I watched it...


... Abba won with Waterloo.

There is a somewhat curmudgeonly feel about the BBC and their licence fee within several of the posts. The Euro Song contest is one heck of a catalyst.

Somewhat curmudgeonly? Clearly, I'm not trying hard enough. The stupid song contest is the least of my worries. Hard to express my real feelings about the BBC without getting very political, though.

I don't have a television.

If Big Brother wants to propagandize me, he can write... paper composts very well.

Something with "Euro" in the title will never be completely accepted in this country.

Not having a television makes me feel proud for the license I don't have to pay, and for the neurons I can waste in other ways, like playing "Copacabana" and "Can't take my ice".

"Can't take my ice off you"?

I think its an absolute and surreal hoot - this year featuring a bearded transvestite Austrian apparently. Way more entertaining than yet another interminably bleak drama about rape and murder filmed mostly in a Scandinavian turnip field in winter.

Although to be fair I couldn't take a whole evening of it......

Saw this guy last night.....sensational......what a laugh

I think I might have to tender my resignation from this forum if no one likes my most favourite program in the whole world or even the universe for that matter how can musical taste be so far apart,I'M STUNNED

Noticed that there was a mention of Eurovision Song Contest Semi Finals on the Beeb. Rendered me nauseous.

As a relief, started to think about non existent but potentially horrific recordings.

My suggestion is The Dagenham Girl Pipers, or am I the only one who remembers them, and the Vernon Girls performing "The Girl from Ipanema" in the style of Getz.

Please post your nightmares and award up to five "" as a warning.

I certainly remember the dagenham girl pipers, saw a programme recently about funerals which included some of the surviving members

Even I with my dubious tastes in sax music don't watch the Eurovision

You are not alone

It's class entertainment

It's not a problem with me. People, wine, food, languages, art, culture, music...

It's probably because of the last two that I have to make an exception of the Eurovision Song Contest...

 

[PeakeCentral]

Voting is on now.

Unlike my TV.

What, you didn't watch "The Battle of Biritain" on Channel 5, that fine example of European solidarity?

 

[aldevis]

Broadcasting that befote the EU elections is a bit like showing "Airport" as in-flight entertainment...

Well done Dooce.....you tipped the winner!!! I slept through the whole lot. Honestly!

I am surprise nobody mentioned the subtle elegance and melodic inventive of the Moldovan 2010 entry.
