Has America got to grips with Irony yet?
They're all going to think that we're being serious....
Poor buggers, bang goes our special relationship. Willie
Hell yeah - pure comedy value. The worse music competition ever, boom-de-boom-de-boom :-) We should have a mini-euro fest of our own :-)

Well, with the progress of Trump, it looks like the Eurovision won't be the main factor....
They are in for a treat!
Used to enjoy Terry Wogan's commentary...
I can honestly say I've never seen it... ever! Fortunately both my parents refused to allow it on the telly when I was a kid & since then I've never been the least bit curious to see what it is that makes people tune in by the million. Apparently Israel takes part though... in a "European" song contest. If I gave a damn, I'd be confused.
I hate the blxxxdy thing -only used to watch the voting -totally partisan ;D ;D ;D ;D
Somehow tho' I think America will like it ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Alex,
You need to watch it with a bunch of irreverent mates and gin.
It's far funnier.
I'd watch France Gall on Eurovision in 1966:

But this one is, from 1965:

If the UK votes for Brexit in the EU referendum, will the rest of Europe exclude us from Eurovision?
I think we should be told.
Could be a deciding factor...... ;) ;) :D :D
Please note - the above post was only a feeble attempt at humour. I'm not trying to start a political debate!
Life's too short for that!
Have just been ambushed unwittingly by the Irish Eurovision entry song while coming back from the school run. Oh dear... I need some time to recover. Everything that music should not be - run of the mill, predictable mush, reducing your brain cell quota as you listen!
;D ;D

Ah that was one of the best Father Ted's...
In fact if that was the entry it would be so much better...
... bring more joy anyway, and come to think of it, more talent too!!!

No it's not.
It's far worse than that. :D
Eurovision Update...(you know you want your Euro fix ;D ;D)
Ireland's Nicky Byrne failed to make Saturdays final... but on another note, it seems in the great tradition of Eurovision song contest nonsense, that Australia... yes AUSTRALIA!... are actually taking part in this years competition!!
Meanwhile, some thoughts from the late great Terry Wogan on the Eurovision...
