I'm delighted to post that I WON'T be on Ticketmaster today, tomorrow or whenever trying to buy tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest, and I won't be watching it on TV.

Note - just seen they've already been sold out!

I'm with you.
How the UK justifies (being 1 of the big 5 contributing countries) spending so much money on that crap, I'll never know. It costs the BBC a reported 18m Euros 😄
 
Not a good day. Just read that the BBC are considering a new series of Mrs Brown Boys.

Oh well with their Tory Director General, they have to keep the red wall voters on side. It's about their level.
 
Attending this would be my idea of hell. Absolute awful songs and mainly talentless acts.
It gets weirder every year.
I’ve never seen why it’s so popular. It’s like watching a bunch of demented desperate nobody wannabes trying to outdo each other with their bizarre acts and tasteless costumes.
Let’s face it. This is sub-standard garbage. The UK has a great music industry. Most of these European countries don’t have a clue. They’re embarrassingly bad. Why the UK attend I don’t know.

We already know Ukraine are gonna win. That would be a nice sentiment, but it’s a reminder that it’s not about finding the best song, but rather it’s a politically influenced, tone deaf cheese-fest, erroneously badged as a song contest.

Having said all that, I am somewhat fond of the Johnny Logan ballad from 1980. Maybe I should keep watching in case another great song emerges. What’s another year I suppose.

This is a cute, little German song, albeit translated into English. Nothing to do with Eurovision, referencing Space Oddity

happy wednesday everybody

You are spot on a money driven cheese-fest, an embarrassing example of light entertainment. Boom ** Bang a Bang my arse! I've not bothered with it for years, but have seen more talent from buskers. With the exception of ABBA who I think did quite well after winning it, TBF they probably would have made it anyway.
 
brilliant feature on bbc website of a 40 ish bloke desperate to get tickets who thought he had got a VIP ticket and was getting his mum to pay for it but she gave him the wrong security digits. The Government have agreed to a 10 million pounds contribution towards the event as well...

Somewhat snobbish post. Live and let live, I say. Meanwhile, in my free, Liberal and tolerant society I would ban Mrs Brown's Boys.
 
£1000 being asked for single tickets. It's time these ticket resale websites stopped acting as agents for these rip-off merchants.

Worse than those selling for x10 face value are Liverpool hotels doing the same with their rooms.

A fool and his money is easily parted.

Yep as witnessed by a long haired Austrian bloke dressed up as a woman who went on to win it, absolutely talentless!
