Eurovision

[maggiebee]

Am I the only person who is sick to the back teeth of hearing about Eurovision and especially the UK entry by Engelbert Humperdinck. If I never hear this song again it will be too soon - absolute tosh imo.
And while I'm on my grumpy soapbox, don't get me started about the olympics or the diamond jubilee - I've got to start work at 3pm!!!

I stopped watching Eurovision when Terry Wogan stopped presenting it

[EcclesCake]

I've just heard it on the radio and I can hear at least three other songs in it. There's definitely a touch of Leonard Cohen in the opening.

As Abe said, in precis, All the people, all the time. I'm looking forward to Sunday, we're at our daughter's on Sat pm, hadn't realise Eurorubbish still existed and they watch it. How sooon can we sneak out, feel a migraine coming on!
I'm fairly ambivalent re the Jubilee but looking forward to th'Olympics, off to watch the beefy boys rowing.

[ummmm]

Not really. I barely notice things that don't interest me.

[berniecuddles]

quite simple don't watch it if it bothers you that much

[Arksided]

I haven't seen it since I was a kid (years ago) although bored of hearing about it some people like it so each to their own.

BBQ and watching football for me so I won't see any of it, thank Gawd!

[Mick-Talbot]

I'm dissapointed that itunes haven't got Slovakias entry to download yet

;o(

[EcclesCake]

If you listen to Radio 2 it is difficult to avoid though.

And yes I know that there are other stations to listen to ;-)

[douglas9401]

Not if you're driving north on the A9 EcclesCake. :)

[EcclesCake]

You don't need a radio on the A9, you have the music of the nee-naws nabbing you for speeding!

[douglas9401]

Oh!! The very idea! Not much chance now that continentals and caravanners have hatched for another season.
Yes, they're mountains and yes, that's the bonnie blooming heather but please use one of the 180 lay-bys between Perth and Inverness if you want to stare, some of us are working. :)

[Dee Sa]

its well past its sell bydate ! I cringe when I hear the word mentioned and poor old Englebert in his dotage he thinks its some kind of honour !
If we had the guts to pull out I am sure a lot of other countries would too and then it could be the East Eurovision Song Contest and we wouldnt have to bother with it.

[Ratty2E]

I haven't even heard our entry yet and it wasn't till a couple of days ago that I even realised it was taking place tomorrow. So no, I'm not sick of it.

[LochNessMonster]

Don't know if I will watch it this year as Russia will win it.

Off to Moscow next year ! You 'll see !

[EcclesCake]

You have my sympathy Douglas, I once go stuck behind a woman on the A9 delivering a cake, I knew she was delivering a cake because she had a hand written 'cake on board' sign in the back of her car.

I think it is the only time I've heard my Mother-in-Law swear.

[ummmm]

The Europeans take it very seriously. Winning it wrecked Johnny Logan's career in UK and Ireland. He had to move to Germany.

[Brenden]

I would think that Englebert is not complaining, he has a few bob coming in from the sale of his record - will I watch it - No.

[Jan1957]

I haven't heard the song yet but should imagine it's the usual load of rubbish so won't go out of my way to try to find it. Doesn't interest me so don't watch it.

[netibiza]

..I never listen any of the entries until the day, then I vote so am not prejudiced. Mind you my votes never win! but I enjoy it.
