Nah, I'm in Italy visiting the missus' family. They don't know what they're missing.

Agree on Israel, I expect the room mics to be turned down to give the impression they're not being booed to fuck.

MoroccanOil, the official sponsor of Eurovision for the last few years, is an at least still partially Israeli company whose products are manufactured there (using argan oil from Morocco).

It's on Saturday. But she progressed from the semi final last night.

Is she not a 'they'?

She's a woman and there's only one of her, thank fuck.

Name change proposal, 'The Song Contest'. To be more inclusive to non European contestants.

Forgot Australia were in it and all. Tis a bit like having them in the Euros tbh - bullshit really. Have Ireland done a song in Irish yet? Memory is failing me but I feel like they might have

When it started Countries had to sing in their native languages.
Not sure if Ireland were involved back then, though.

Marty Whelan did commentary Tuesday night. Gas man.

The whole Eurovision thing is a mess and not to betaken seriously nowadays in anyway whatsoever, Terry Wogan would agree!!!

Weren't Crua-chan the Irish folk metal band who love playing in Israel trying to get the nod to represent Ireland in the contest?

Cruachan played in Israel, yes; Mael Mordha who tried for Eurovision though.


Cruachan and Mael Mordha are both absolutely shit so perfect for Eurovision.
