    Couldn't agree more, I haven't watched it for probably 30 years, in fact I watch less TV overall now a days, as you say most of it's ****e.

    I'll be watching it in Leicester. We're playing in the finals of a national 5 -a side tournament on Saturday, so I'll be a little stiff. Oi oi.

    Maybe the Russians should do a song called 'We're The Reason For The German Baby Boom' cause they raped all the women.

    I actually complained to the BBC when I found out we were paying £310k of license fee money to enter the bloody thing, along with almost the same to the European Broadcasting Union for the ability to show it and whatever the production costs are (they wouldn't disclose them, even under a FOI request).

    They said lots of grannies and gays like it, so I could **** off .*

    You never know, Steve Walsh (a proper scout unlike some we could mention) might spot you.

    I take it you are being ironic? The dark haired one in ABBA was the result of a German soldier raping her Norwegian mother during WWII. It wasn't just something the Russians did. I thought you were studying history for goodness sake!

    Yes, I'm taking the piss. I'm well aware Russians raped Germans, Germans raped women in countries they occupied, British and Americans raped women on the Western Front, Americans raped Japanese women and the Japanese raped women in Korea and Manchuria. It's inexcusable, rape always is, but it was before the Geneva Conventions so they probably thought they could get away with it. The point was the Soviets perpetrated mass rapes on an unparalleled scale when 'liberating' Poland and Germany.

    Is that how google translates the lyrics of the Latvian entry?

    Anyway, they should change the name so that blind people have to suffer it too. It's discrimination.

    Just had to YT our entry. Dint have a clue. To be fair, it's quite a catchy song.

    Hopefully the Brexit issue will go in our favour with the 'have nots' in other countries keenly watching us...

    Looking forward to Saturday :emoticon-0137-clapp

    Seems quite strange for someone to start a thread on something they have no interest in.

    Anyway there's a radio program on 'Hull's Song For Europe"

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03ts6ff

    It says listen live so I guess it's on now, no idea if they keep it for a while after.

    The Rusdians did it on an almost organised scale before orders came to stop. You can understand it (almost) after what the Germans did to them. Though rape wasn't that common as the Nazis considered Slavs to be subhuman.

    And, her mother wasn't raped. She was the result of a Nazi programme to increase Aryan bloodstock. She tracked her father down and met him.

    Obviously your study of history belongs to the commies can do nothing wrong school and if they did others were worse.

    The biggest selling Eurovision winner was Save Your Kisses For Me which sold 6million. Yes, 6 million! The mind is truly boggled.

    Eurovision is like a parallel universe inhabited by a different species. Pointless watching without Wogan taking the piss.

    Read it again. What part of that says I support communism? Actually, for what it matters, I have no truck with extreme ideology at either end of the scale. Reading that into it suggests what you want to believe rather than what's actually written.

    Funny how you rushed in to counter the statement about what the Russians did throwing in a completely incorrect statement about a rape which wasn't as if, even it had been true, it balanced the hundreds of thousands gang raped by the Soviets. I write Soviets as a lot of the Soviet soldiers responsible were not Russian.
