Anyone going to be watching this turd ?

My sauces say the huge gamble on Cyprus makes the odds too short and that Israel should win on merit but political voting is against them.

A bit of each way on France at 20/1 is the VFM bet. (boffin)

If i had to agree with you we would both be wrong
When we leave the EU can we also stop showing Shiite like this on national tv ?

Comfortably mid-table
Criticising Eurovision for being naff is like criticising post boxes for being red.

There should always be room for kitsch & camp.

As someone who spent most of the 70s and early 80s at punk/new wave gigs and very rarely in discos I have to admit that disco and latterly Eurovision has pushed at and broken through more social boundaries than my music of choice ever did. Witness the withdrawal of rights to Chinese TV for the latest positive step.

I'm like Napoleon at Waterloo. I did surrender.

But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day...
It was great, really good average quality of act this year and the best front-runner won (though personally would've liked to see the Moldovan entry do better, that **** was pure distilled Eurovision)

Actually Bonaparte didn't surrender after Waterloo but rode poste haste back to Paris hoping to maintain his position as Emperor. However, The French government insisted that he abdicate for the second time. Realising it was unsafe to stay in France because of Marshal Blucher's rampaging Prussians, he made for the coast hoping to escape to the United States. On reaching the coast his hope of escape was effectively blocked by a flotilla of Royal Navy warships patrolling the Atlantic coast harbours. His last act as Emperor was to surrender to the captain of HMS Bellerophon who conveyed him to Plymouth Sound. I believe he wanted to go to Exeter but the Exe was at low tide. ;)
