Anyone else watching this?

The UK's entry, sung by veteran crooner, Englebert Humperdinck is first on.

Go, Englebert.

Crikey, is it on tonight, I forgot about it.

Will ring my gay friends, get loads of booze and party.

Hang on I haven't got any gay friends, still the rest sounds good

With the state of the Euro, everybody will be trying to lose, it should be epic.

Greece will implode if they win, that's for sure.

The Albanian gets points for sceeching.

I predict a Baltic winner

I can't fault their exquisitely good taste.

Tragically right; for years now I have only tuned in to watch the points ceremony, which was always far more entertaining than the actual performances, which rarely rise above mediocre and often fail to achieve mediocrity. Without TW, the commentary will probably be just as poor as the songs.

Does anyone know if Malta has an entry this year? If Malta were good enough friends of ours to give the maximum 12 points to a steaming piece of scatology like Scooch's Flying The Flag (For You), even though their vote was a gesture of disdain for all the countries who keep voting for their neighbours (Hell, even Bosnia and Serbia have each others backs covered in Eurovision), I would still give Malta a vote in return. If there is any bottom line or "moral of the story" in Eurovision, it is the old proverb: "One hand washes the other."

Graham Norton is doing a fine job of continuing Terry's tradtion for taking the piss.

The UK may not win but there should still be an English language song or two in the top rank.
