Eurovision Tonight… Time To Get Drunk! (Updated seven times)
Tonight the Eurovision song contest is on - annoying meaning that there is no Doctor Who. So I’m going to make up for it by getting very very drunk and playing the Eurovision Song Contest Drinking Game.
Terry Wogan and his commentary is the only thing that makes watching Eurovision worth it. Even with that, I don’t think I’ve watched the full programme since Gina G was our entry. And that was in 1996… fuck, I didn’t realise it was that long ago! Eleven years!
Just like I predicted back when Scooch were first selected as our entry, both bookmakers and critics are saying that we’re going to end up with nul points, just like last time. I’ve began to warm towards it very slightly, however. I still think it’s crap, but since “Sir Terry Wogan apparently believes that they have the best chance of any UK entry since Katrina and the Waves won in 1997″ we might end up with a couple of points. Not many, but a couple.
It is also possible to learn the dance moves to Scooch’s song,the ‘Flying the Flag’ [see video below]. Quite why anyone would want to, I don’t know. But some strange people do and will, I’m sure. The actual song can be seen here.
UPDATE: After watching all of the entries to the Eurovision Song Context, we all decided that Hungary is definitely the best entry. Followed by Russia, Germany and Serbia (though we can’t decide whether or not the singer was male or female).
It was amusing when Scooch came on, as Asp danced [to the moves shown above].
Some od the entries were quite disturbing, and Terry Wogan’s comments made it all worthwhile, especially when he asked for yet another drink…
UPDATE 2: Half way through, and nul point for Scooch!
UPDATE 3: Ireland give us 7 points!!!
UPDATE 4: Malta give us 12 points!!!!!
UPDATE 5: We didn’t give Ireland any points! Will the IRA decide to end their ceasefire and bomb us again?…
UPDATE 6: Serbia win! UK end with 19 points, better than nul point, but nothing compared to the 265 that Serbia got. We came second last, with onlt Ireland getting less, with just five points.
UPDATE 7: Terry seems to think that the Serbian singer is female. We’re still not convinced, but we’ll accept Terry’s conclusion (Father Christmas looks weird in Finland).

Why is that girl wearing a vagina on her head?
[...] is Eurovision. Unlike last year, however, I won’t be getting drunk and watching it. Or even getting drunk or watching it. [...]
