Tate is smuggling some melons, Jesus.
Catherine Tate's baps up round her ears in that dress.
The crowd are on the verge of a riot due to Finland not winning.
Someone euthanise Tate ffs
Shocked Germany got fuck all with the public.
Stunned Ukraine got sub 200. I guess the voters don't give a shit now.
That's huge from Finland but it wont be enough.
Yessss, Finland.
Finland deserve that at least.
Closer than I thought it would be after the juries.
Italy finishing 12 points shy of third has cost me a small fortune. Fucking Unicorns.
Sweden and Finland hate each other too. All comes back to ice hockey and Eurovision ultimately.
I got a fiver on Italy E/W for five places so double money isn't bad for having to watch Germany be needlessly insulted by the viewing public
They should have played Z Cars, You'll Never Walk Alone was dreadful [as was the Soldi thing].
Finding out that the German outfit have had a number one album over there makes me question Kiko's "everything is better in the fatherland" line.
Why is this so big now? I was in town at kicking out time and it's absolutely crawling with drunks who have just watched it, a lot of them in organised events. It used to just be a joke or something enthusiasts would watch.
There were way more events this year because the UK was hosting, but it'll probably have a knock on effect for a bit.
Ot appeals to the wokerati.
Everything is a thing now.
No niche interest can survive the crushing mass of the proletarian Tiktok banter ball as it marauds down the mountain, scattering all and sundry.
It was a shame our one couldn't sing as it turned out, the radio edit of her song was so much better.
They should have had a bit of Space in the songbook bit.
I'm still mad.
Probably would make more sense if Sweden didn't have the second highest televote.
Clearly it was well received.
Jessie Ware next year plz.
Cha Cha Cha holds up very well to repeat listens but we need a remix.
That guy from Years and Years is doing the UK's entry next year.
If the song's good he'll come top five. One of the biggest ifs imaginable of course.
Getting Danny L Harle to produce it is the bigger snag. I've said for ages the UK should get a PC Music nerd involved and they've finally done it.
Okay then...
Is there a Caribbean themed ABBA song?
Talking of ABBA, I ended up at the Voyage show in Stratford over Christmas and while on the one hand impressive, it was a glimpse into a dystopian future I'd really rather not be part of.
I placed £10 at 8 million to 1 on St Kitts and Nevis to win the 2024 Eurovision, back in 2008. I knew this was going to be my year.
I mean, Australia and Israel are already in it, so why not?
It's a Royal Caribbean sponsorship announcement.
It is indeed the end of all things.
Humanity would be better served were it used as a ruse to cull the attendees en masse [sorry Yev].
I'd take one for the team. Apparently the ABBA thing has been going for 18 months and I see no valid reason why it will ever end. There are at least six songs in it that will keep it going forever. In a moment of clarity while watching it I completely understood what the actors are all so terrified of - you don't really need any new ones if you can have Marlon Brando at various stages of his life in every film ever made from here on in.
To think I spewed up laughing when Digital Jack Nicklaus launched. The joke's on me now. IP is eternal, or at least 95 years of it is.
"Guys, let's all go out for some live music. Here's Elvis, ripped straight from his studio albums with absolutely no stage banter and no dance moves. It's like he never left!"

Can't see any issues arising from this. None at all.
At least we won't come last!
Unless Germany are under strict orders to give them 12 points.
After the Iraq invasion we got nul points and Israel were second last I think. Let the people decide.
Of course, we're winning this year, so it's irrelevant.
I bet they let Palestine in and we come second again.
Iceland are (probably) sending a Palestinian bloke. It's in Icelandic and a bit shit though so probably not going to a Ukraine. Ukraine look like they might do another Ukraine.
