4 of UK's 5 #eurovision wins were under Labour govts: 1967, 1969, 1976, 1997. Other win was 1981, when Lab had huge poll lead. Election now!

Just saying...

So we can literally blame the Tories.

Thanks Ireland! At least we're not bottom.

Wiet

Damn it Ireland, you were supposed to give 12 to Norway!

Absalon

Oh no the Swedish radio channels are NEVER going to stop playing Euphoria and I am already sick of it... Not to mention the prideful shrieking from the evening press. Damn it.

Snicketysnick

Oh well, was never going to be a winner really.

At least we can now look forward to entering JLS or One Direction next year. (Oh god please no)

Legba

Look I'd be depressed about Norway's showing but frankly it was well deserved. And also for the purposes of my drinking tonight I'm English and totally wasn't in last place. Go Humperdink!

SquiddyBiscuit

Worst hosting ever.
Eurovision is dead to me!

Liiya

So glad we're not last.

Scotland needs to gain independence and send the Proclaimers.

Legba

I hear loud partying outside. Pretty sure it's not a riot. But I'm going to join anyway.

e: People literally walking around drunk singing "Euphoria" at the top of their voices. Good times.

Good show peeps!

Liiya

Well done on the thread, Wiet, well done!

Wiet

You're too kind, lady.

Platy

Poor ol' Humpster

Edcrab

Like the new title, Wiet!

Thank you for (attempting to) steer our collective manboat clear of jagged rocks

Fiendishrabbit

I'll give it about 1 or 2 days before we starting seeing Turkey<->PotC crossover editing.

facetious

Well Italy did okay, but of course my other remaining favourites in UK and Denmark finished bottom five.

Alas.

Liiya

Gumpy sent me a text to tell everyone in the thread he sends his love, and that he called the winners too.

FAQ

Liiya

Platy

Wimble

Platy

You spoony bard, Wimble

Gumpy

I called sweden

I called it

Someone put a study chair out on the pavement between there and home so I sat in it for half an hour and contemplated the stars

jippee

I just woke up. what the hell is going on?

Gumpy

Sweden

Sweden has achieved glorious victory

Finland came in 2nd

jippee

Oh wait i'm watching a repeat.

Why repeat THAT?

at least we voted for Sweden, which sounds like a sane thing.

MulysaSempronius

Did you.....

Wiet

I feel like I shouldn't be alive

but I need my manboat fix

Gumpy

How're your Eurohangovers everyone

Mine is not being helped by the girls next door pumping loud doorstep into the garden right outside my window

Edcrab

How does doorstep differ from dubstep? More slamming?

I don't have a Eurohangover because I'm a billy no mates who spent the night at home alternating between the England friendly and manboat while a pissed off German guy texted me things

Wiet

I woke up with Waterline still echoing around in my skull, I think the only way to purge it is to find an even catchier song
