Well.

Going to be an interesting show next year then...

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25025

Somewhere else will host it for them.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25025

He did us proud.

Someone has mathsed this up, but I doubt it’s doable as surely there aren’t enough points left.

Malc · **Posted:** Sun May 15, 2022 0:02

Well done Ukraine

Any other year...

Kern · **Posted:** Sun May 15, 2022 0:03

Amazing result.

What a night!

Our entrant did us so proud. I’m going to buy his song, if I can work out how you even buy a song nowadays.

And thank you all for another enjoyable and hilarious thread.
See you next year!

Yo @curio are we front rowing this fella then?

TheVision · **Posted:** Sun May 15, 2022 0:08

Amazing result for the UK and we'll deserved... He nailed it!

Now, are the Ukraine actually going to be able to host next year? If not, one of the big five will have to step in and do it. Italy won't do a double so that leaves 4... One of which is the UK.

I hope it comes here and more importantly, I hope I can get tickets.

Same time, next year. In person, front row tickets so we can shit talk the acts as a collective.

Nadine has a plan for us to win next year.

My prediction for the top 5. Ukraine, Moldova, Sweden, uk, Spain

4/5 so far, Moldova are being robbed

Picked the wrong novelty song, but happy with that!

I just woke up and it turns out all the above actually did happen.

Still buzzing.

Bravo to the Essex Thor for coming second. Great work.

Ukraine was okay; at least it wasn't a dreary, boring ballad. I am glad that none of the top five were, and I'm sure Moldova looked even more awesome due to coming after a run of pretty dire efforts.

UK, Sweden, Moldova, Spain were my favourites, I think. Possibly more, but I have forgotten. Oh yeah, maybe Serbia just for being like something out of a David Lynch movie.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25025

I must have been distracted when Sweden came on as I thought it was dull as mud, but everyone else really loved it.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25025

I just looked it up to make sure I was thinking if the right act, and I was.

I was ready to dislike Spain, but I thought that was ace. The singer absolutely sold that performance, as did our guy. I think that’s what stood out in those performances to me. They were really strongly presented. Also, who doesn’t want to be a spaceman? We were all at the national space centre the day before Eurovision, so that was a cheery callback to our day out, too.

I've rarely watched any of Eurovision, but I'd enjoy being there in person.

That's a very Northern list.

Except for Birmingham. That's the South

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

I think you'll find it's not.

I wonder where the divide is if you split it by population?

Brum is in the Midlands, which starts when you cross the northern most tip of Oxfordshire. The Midlands ends when you enter the Peaks.

At least according to my headcanon.

To be true to the Eurovision film, we have to move the Glasgow arena to downtown Edinburgh.

Kern · **Posted:** Fri Aug 12, 2022 16:39

Also, we're all going, right?

It's in the Midlands, though appears to be heading south again.

Where did the UK come in the public vote in 2022 again?

Oh, still 5th. Carry on.

Boo, the jury vote is far more interesting

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22118

Jury vote stays for the final, that's just for the semi finals I think? It's not exactly clear.

Kern · **Posted:** Wed Mar 08, 2023 9:48

Didn't go for tickets in the end (pick one of: forgot; forgot; sold out quickly anyway; forgot).

Still, reading the BBC's report on the festivities, I spotted this:

Quote:

a submarine street parade

How would we know?

First they flood the street, then the parade.

The TicketMaster website basically fell apart, so even if you did remember and get in the queue early (like me, and thousands of other people) chances are you still would have walked away with nothing.

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22118

After all the different variables, there were probably only 5000 tickets for the final available, and each person could buy 4 at once. Chances were vanishingly small.
