EUROVISION 2019!

[Hank Venture]

Pleased with 5th place. Disappointed on behalf of San Marino and Iceland. Netherlands was pedestrian shit. Denmark with the worst by a mile ... where is Hamas when you need them?

[Hank Venture]

Also, scrap the jury votes. North Macedonia was absolutely forgettable.

Norway winner of public votes ROBBED

[imitationleather]

For years it was just public votes, wasn't it? I wonder why they brought juries back.

[Danger Man]

To stop Greece Cyprus

[BlodwynPig]

Also, scrap the jury votes. North Macedonia was absolutely forgettable.

A corking song by the best nation.

[JesusAndYourBush]

I can't actually remember the North Macedonia song.

Their song was The Tits, it should have won.  Oh wait, no I don't remember the song either.

[Thursday]

Woke up this morning, and the San Marino song is still in my head. Don't remember anything else. Shambles.

There you have it folks, there are dark forces at play here. Margaret Berger ROBBED. Keiino ROBBED. NORWAY ROBBED.

[Bently Sheds]

Poor Czech Republic all huddled and expecting a big score. Then seven points. :(

That was the highlight of my night. The fuckers were so full of themselves, too.

Top work from you, thanks for that.

Didn't realise the 16 year old lass came second from bottom. Oof. Harsh.

I wonder if their voting fuckery played a part in that.

[Thursday]

Shocked that the European public didn't give many votes to a black man.

[dallasman]

There you have it folks, there are dark forces at play here. Margaret Berger ROBBED. Keiino ROBBED. NORWAY ROBBED.

It's definitely the best of the contributions I've heard. So I'm thinking we have the best of both worlds here, Hank. We have the kompakte majoritet on our side, we have indiginous peoples brownie points and a decent tune, all of which give us full gloating rights. Not bad. Åsså rett etter søttendemai, da.

Tbf, Norwegians probably just have the cheapest phone rates, but I consider that a small victory in itself.

[dallasman]

THE LOOK ON SWEDEN'S FACE!!!

Oh yes, that too.

When my son came into the bedroom this morning he recounted how hilarious it was that the UK got 3 points on the televote and Germany got none.

He still wants nothing to do with the Netherlands though.

Did you say to him, "Son, you're 43 now. It really is time to start thinking about moving out"?

[Rolf Lundgren]

Bit late but this year was a belter. The second half was almost flawless as an example of Eurovision. Didn't have Netherlands anywhere near my top 5 (Norway, Italy, Azerbaijan, Australia, Switzerland if you're interested).

Michael Rice shouldn't have come last but only because he was better than the German song. We're crap every year because we toss out an awful song from an uncharismatic no-hoper. I really don't understand why one year they can't persuade someone with a lot of weight to get behind it.

Michael Rice looked a bit hefty.

[mothman]

Sizeist.

[BlodwynPig]

UK's points total falls from 16 to 11 after incorrect calculation.

[Clownbaby]

Hilarious

[imitationleather]

UK's points total falls from 16 to 11 after incorrect calculation.

LOL. I thought this was a BlodwynJoke at first.

It's not been lowered enough, if you ask me.

[Captain Z]

Get Tony Pulis in next year, might just scrape 17th.

[jobotic]

UK's points total falls from 16 to 11 after incorrect calculation.

And instantly another 5 million votes for The Brexit Party
