I've been to Eurovision parties in the past.


No bias is allowed in the cuisine served - all wine is new world and food tends towards chinese or mexican. Everyone picks out of hats and supports their adopted country with gusto.


With enough Australian shiraz it's bloody good fun. Sober, I would rather bbq my tongue.

I think my best Eurovision memory was when I was 17 or 18 and Gina G was our entrant (she did very badly). We all watched at a mates and got take away curry. Have never done that with mates since, and maybe that should change this year...


I love the way Wogan just gets more p!ssed as the night goes on :)-D

I remember when Eurovision featured singers people had heard of, household names like Cliff, Lulu and 'Shoeless' Sandie Shaw.

These days you wouldn't recognise them unless they went around the place with floodlit signs strapped to their heads saying 'I'm the UK Eurovision entry for 2008'

I think it went downhill when this decimal money was introduced, what with the shilling bits being so fiddly an' all.


Wouldn't give you ten new pence for the lot of them.


Eurovision Song Contest? Bring back national service instead I say.

It's a chance for new talent to shine through, for both performers and songwriters. The talented youngsters from the Italia Conti stage school or as it might be the Brits all giving their all for the honour of representing their country. We can all be proud that our Eurovision entry is truly the 'best of the best'.


"Kid(s) you're going out onto that stage a raw unknown but you're coming back (a) star(s)"


Let's all get behind our entry and give them an almighty push.


I'm getting excited already.

I'll happily give any of the UK's recent entries a push - off a cliff onto a spike.


We need to take a leaf out of the book of our eastern European friends. Get some decent costumes in. Show some flesh. Cross dress. Plunder a best-forgotten musical genre. Have no shame.

Even Ireland, home of the yawnworthy acousto-megaballad has seen the light and plumped for Dustin the Turkey this year.

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
