susanbb Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Will any of you like me be sitting in their front room on Saturday with your little waving flag at Eurovision. Maybe I'm sad, but I do enjoy it. It's such a laugh. Not really to be taken seriously, but well worth watching for Terry Wogan's acid tongue and humour Boom bangabang and Congratulations Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not camp enough for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Terry Wogan is so funny with his comments. I am sure your can hear him drinking scotch in his booth! The comments are ruder the drunker he gets! I will be in Stuttgart but will be watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Ah Christian, you may be our only hope of getting some points then Have you got plenty of pennies for the phone calls?? I shall be sat around my tele on Thursday for the semi-final and then settle down again on Saturday night for the biggie. So I have learned the dance routine to Flying the flag and it's also playing on the phone when I want to wind people up And as for Terry - Priceless Listening to some of the other entrants this year it looks like Poland could do well - a very catchy popular sound (for UK taste anyhow) and Turkey has a similarly sounding song to most years so it should do well ...... again Still we shall see what happens!!

Christian Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 So I have learned the dance routine to Flying the flag How did I know you were going to say that Andrew??? This is the first year i haven't been at home to watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbb Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 My husband's glad he's working a late shift, but you know what...it'll still be on when he gets back, so he'll have to watch it in the end Tee hee Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 You think watching it is sad - I've organised a Eurovision party at our local pub!! Everyone has to pick a country out of a hat which they will then "represent" so they have to sing along, dance along to "their" entry, we're puttiing a £1 each into the kitty and the person with the "winning" country gets the pot! Fancy dress, food, and - the saddest bit of all - I am currently building a "SHRINE TO TERRY WOGAN" which will have pride of place uder the screen!!!

Cate in NZ Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks for that link Andrew, I'd not heard the song properly before. That song is so dreadful though that it's almost good, and all those double entendres Will Europe get it though , I really can't see it doing well, even if it has got a catchy tune and a synchronised dance routine. Anyway, we've not got enough poitical allies to win Eurovision these days, so what the heck.......... we might as well get a laugh out of it as we surely won't be getting any trophies Go Scooch I might even remember to watch it this year Mrs Bertie, pity I don't live anywhere near your pub - your Eurovision themed night sounds great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I LOVE Eurovision! Can't wait to watch this weekend....we were supposed to be going to visit OH's family so was worried that I would miss it but the visit has now fallen through (not my fault...honest! ) so it's the Eurovision Cheese-fest all the way yippee!

Chickpea Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Woo hoo! I love eurovision! drinks, scorecards, terry rambling on and getting sozzled! (both me and him!) and the cheesiest songs ever imaginable!! Plus our entry is MUCH better than last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Ah Daz Sampson (was that his name) I think that there was a load of dirty old men watching last years MYMU that swayed the voting well as long as Scooch sing in tune they can do no worse than Gemini Although I remember watching/hearing something after the event where they removed the backing track and they were singing in tune - just not to the backing track It gave them credibility that they had no sound in their earpiece when they started singing that then put them off....read into any political reasons if you see them! I think that it will do ok - may not win, but would be so great if they did Still it's the Semi Final tomorrow night!! A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
