We've tried the diplomatic path, we've tried meeting these people half way and where's it gotten us? ...out on Tuesday that's where.
I tell you again there's only one language the whole of Europe understands and that's a sky made black with bombers. This can't go unanswered. We must return the swerve.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
It's supposed to be that way.
You could not make out what he was saying so I don't think it was supposed to be like that?
It was just brutal. It wasnt funny or musical. A two year old could have come up with something better. I think the Eastern Europeans got it alrite.....got that it was unfunny sh*te..
This was the first ever year were Ihave actually listened to all the songs(I was trying to put a flat pack thingie todther) Anyways...the standard isnt that bad at all. The reason we have been doin so bad last few years isnt cause everyone goes for the novelty act. Its cause our songs have been brutal.
Anybody else utterly hacked off at the "funny" role played by Marty Whelan and Terry Wogan at this thing ?
It is now 15 years out of date i.e. this runnign commentary saying how ridiculous it all is and how cheesed off they are at being there and at how silly the whole thing is and look at the state of him and why did serbia vote for Croatia and I am long enough at this to be cynical and the costumes are getting worse and I can't believe Duystin didn't get through and here comes the tradiitonal Finland silly rock act......
Enough already
DB Cooper is alive !
Watched it on BBC 3 last night and the presenters really really wanted dustin to fail. they even said he should be disqualified for having 7 people on stage when you are only allowed 6, they reckoned Dustin counted as one and the puppeteer who you couldn't see also counted as a separate person. they were practically cracking open the champagne when he was knocked out. "Ireland are completely and utterly and totally OUT!! beamed one presenter"
Didnt one of the presenters have an Irish name. Paddy o'Connell or something. Who was the other bird presenting on BBC3? she was nice... who are these people, Wogan has nothing to fear...
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
I think they won a competition or maybe they were the beaten finalists of a Song for Europe or whatever the Beeb have to select their eurovision entry
Well they certainly have no sense of humour, dry sh ites
only heard 3 songs, Poland , Finland and dustin, and the turkey was way ahead of them two
and what would you call the Finnish winner two years ago, or the ladyboy, or the lesbian winners?
They WON it. We never even get any votes. The Russian and Israeli winners werent bad songs. Jesus Christ were was the humour in the Dustin song? It was totally unfunny. At one stage he made a fart noise and one of the backing singers waved her hand at her nose. A 2 year old wouldnt laugh at that???and what would you call the Finnish winner two years ago, or the ladyboy, or the lesbian winners?Its not the Europeans who have no sense of humour.....Next year we will put Jake Stephens in. Cause he is frickin hilarious man!!!!
Put yere dosh on Norway
Marty Whelan in yesterday's Herald says he was told afterwards we'd come eleventh.
On the Ryan Show yesterday morning, Gerry said we came 12th.
The results are not released until after the final.

Eurovision was popular here until we started winning a few times in a row. The begrudgery in us couldn't handle it, so we wanted to go back to mediocrity, this was further aided by Wogan's trashing of every performance every year.
Today, the Eastern countries take the show extremely seriously, and pull out all the stops to give themselves the best chance. Yes, they have their voting procedures to help them, but the state broadcasters put out the top artists and the trendiest songs, and market them. They're not going on a pis-up, they're representing their country on one of the biggest tv stages there is. There are months of endless rehearsals, promo tours, press conferences, and finally the performance itself. The rewards for winning are massive. For the singer, european and global opportunities for their career; for the country, the honour of hosting the event, and on the week itself, a financial windfall for those in the local travel and retail industry. That's why the likes of Armenia and Azerbaijan enter it.
Our attitude is "choose a gobshy, and feed him to the wolves" Then we complain about the voting, having used the same procedure to choose our own artist.

But if it was a p*ss take why wasnt it funny? I actually just cringed when I saw it.
yeah fair enuff, but they are all still fairly rubbishbut surely it was a **** take in the fact that it was cheesy and bad. I mean the fact that it got some boos was funny as well
