    Eurovision

    16 to 1 for the UK to win, going to put down a bit on each way.

    Think the little turd from Norway will win but it could be a profitable night.

    Is there any purpose to Eurovision other than Terry Wogan taking the piss out of everything?

      Not even that now, it's Graham Norton presenting.

        So it's time for the UK to withdraw?

          Ironically we have our best chance of winning it in years, apparently.

            WTF is the point of the UK 'winning' the Eurovision. A country that produced the Beatles, the Stones, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, sorry I'll rephrase that; invented pop, heavy metal, punk, indie and more, has no need to prove anything in front of a continent of musical know-nothings that haven't produced a half decent album since Wagner's Ring Cycle. (with the possible exception of Herman Brood)

            OK, so the UK sends a pimped up band from the Butlins holiday camp to give the rest a chance, because if they sent Radiohead it would be like the New Zealand All Blacks entering the Little Wobblington sunday veterans charity sevens tournament.

            Just stop this crap.

              Actually it is quite a good song, not something I would ever dream of listening to but it has been cleverly arranged, multiple upwards key shifts and popular chord progressions. Does sound like something from a musical though.

              Unfortunately Europe still thinks David Hasselhoff is a talented musician so it has no chance but I think it could get into top 5 easy.

                I guess you won't be cheering for the Toppers then, Mich?
                Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                  David Hasselhof is positively gifted compared to Holland's most popular singing duo

                  How can you even hope to win over people who pay good money to listen to tulip like that?

                    Come now, Germany alone has some fine bands;

                    Kraftwerk, Rammstein and Scooter spring to mind immediately...

                    That said, all French bands are utter, unmitigated dog-tulip.
