The Swedish entry this year looks particularly tasty

(although knowing my luck someone will now point out that she used to be a man)

minging - watched it last night and can see nothing remotely tasty

Israeli FFS! Yes, that really was the ultimate pi$$ take, a man pretending to be a woman, from a country that's not even part of Europe!

Eurovision has never been restricted to Europe. It's defined as the European Broadcasting Area. Takes in some of the North African countries as well as the Middle East.

It's the untilmate exercise in stupidity as, apart from the Eurovision Song Farce and maybe the occasional sporting event (usually football) nothing is ever broadcast from mainland europe to the rest of the European Broadcasting Area i.e. The UK.

Can you imagine anyone from the North African countries or the Middle East be remotely interested in whatever a Norwegian broadcaster is saying?

I only ever watch it for Terry Wogan's sublime commentary.

"Oh look, Serbia voting 12 points for Crotia, now what a suprise"..

How he gets away with it, I'll never know...

under my regime, gaudy prole tat like Eurovision will be banned and replaced with something more highbrow, e.g. "How do you solve a problem like Godot", "Noel Edmonds' Proust Party" etc.

The only language that could be the official language now is English. Its the most wide spread

Of course France and Germany will never accept that so we're unlikely to see Europe getting an official language

I propose romansh. Even among them they have at least a dozen variations. Eventually each person will have his own language.

Ukraine

Have to agree, Ukraine looks much better than Sweden to me too.

The misery is about to start

Hasn't been the same since Abba.
