    When you British realise that the song contest is

    A chance for the former communists to be friends with each other
    The only time the Irish can give nothing to the English
    Europes chance to say no to English pop music, which is rubbish - put Black Sabbath in and you would win.
    The best silly television since Monty Python

    you will see the night as it is and enjoy yourselfs.

    Look at our last entry, was this not a good joke.

    Thanks, that makes things a bit clearer. I sometimes feel slightly lost on here.....


    Akureyri - "put Black Sabbath in and you would win."

    I'm not sure that we want to win. We've moved on. We're altogether far too cool to win, to be fair.

    Hera Björk seems like a nice big lass. Takk fyrir. If I were to concentrate solely on her weight - which I wouldn't do because that would be dullingly sexist and predictable - I'd place her somewhere between a slimmed-down Alison Moyet and a let-herself-go-a-bit Sonia.

    Not a bad description actually. I do like the way they made sure the backing singers weren't your usual skinny burds just so not to make the big burd stand out!

    ps Have you seen Alison Moyet recently? She's lost a fair bit of weight.

    To be honest, I'm not sure I'd wait till half-time.

    Stereo - a slimmed down Alison Moyet? I'm going looking for pictures right now. In advance, however, and without yet seeing any evidence, I'm going to say straight up that I preferred her when she was huge. Let's see.....

    Its not a song contest anymore,It hasn't been in years.Who remembers the heavy metal monsters ''Hard Rock Hallelujah''.
    If you send a plank to sing on his own,there is no chance of winning.Like Ireland did with Brian Kennedy aka Ronan Keatings bit on the side.
    I reckon Jedward for a strange sort of a reason will actually do well,they're entertainers even though they are tone deaf.

    Definitely the funniest song to win it was in 1970,Dana's ''All kinds of everything''.Its one of those songs that you don't listen to after a skinful,as you will puke.

    The Eurovision Song Contest is wonderful tv and top rate entertainment.
    I for one, will be watching it.
    It really doesn't matter who wins, it's just wonderfully funny. Some of the songs and routines are laugh out loud funny.
    It's a shame that dull bunch Blue are trying to use it to relaunch their long dead careers. It's not serious boys, nobody actually cares so go away.
    The other shame is the loss of Wogan who was tremendous as the voiceover. He was in his element. Now we have to put up with that shrieking little brown hatter.

    Jesus. She looks great. I'd like to retract (and expunge from the record) the words I said to you a few short moments ago: "In advance, however, and without yet seeing any evidence, I'm going to say straight up that I preferred her when she was huge."

    I was wrong. She definitely looks better - which isn't always the case, to my mind, when big birds go thin.

    I once saw Alison walking in Hyde Park. She is unfeasably large for a woman. I don't mean fat, just large. Very tall with very big features.
    All I'm saying is I'm not sure if she'd pass the relevant tests to join the womens Olympic team.

    Maybe, maybe not. Judging by your description, however, she'd definitely be strong enough to carry the isotonic drinks tray for the men's team.


    PepeReina, just for you:





    No, no, don't mention it. My treat.

    Blue, apparently. Not that I'll be watching. It used to be worth a quick look during the voting just to hear Wogan's sarky comments, but even that's denied to us now. <grr>
