Anyone from the UK?

Bill bailey once said squirrels looked like they were skinning up when they are their nuts.

I gather Switzerland won Euroviz. I wonder if there were any political shenanigans? Not that I care

The Swiss act did a very impressive singing whilst somehow balancing and swooping around on a moving platform - although I wasn’t into the song much. I may have still been under the influence of a fever but Croatia and Finland were the best for me

I'm not sure I know what men look like when they're scratching their nuts

Good morning to everyone, could be a tough one, coming down off your Eurovision highs, but you'll be fine. Hope you all have a great day!

 

[Wriggle]

It was rubbish

 

[Anastasia1999]

Good morning folks! Can‘t believe I had a bit of a lie in after all the Eurovision excitement last night.

Have a great Sunday.

It was rubbish

Always is, but still stayed up watching it,

How dare you!

 

[Wriggle]

How dare you!

List night I said in the thread - it's meant to be rubbish - that's what makes it fun.

And I agree Finland and Croatia were my favourites plus Ireland and that ballsy thing.

My non binary pansexual child was very happy with the Swiss win.

I think the more conservative, eastern European panels were freaked out by the Irish witch, not sure about song, but best performance. UK were out of favour for years, now, after Brexit, they'll never do well again, don't matter how good they are

First time i've watched whole show in about 20yrs, must be mellowing with age

Sam Ryder came second in 2022 (behind the Ukraine vote) - you just need to be in tune with Eurovision, last night we weren’t.

Morning everyone. Where has the sun gone? Sky got quite purple last night but cloudy so lights not very visible

I couldn't see anything and was outside on and off till about 3am

Yep, you're probably right, he'd been massive on YouTube during lock down which probably helped as well

I think just having fun with it is the way to go, our acts seem too serious a lot of the time. I want Finland like fireworks exploding from their pants acts

Defo. Or Bucks Fizz ripping off skirts, which in its time was cheeky and fun, We should choose the entry next year

Hi, new couple just joined enjoying the lit. Looking to see if any other UK folks on here?

Yes, south coast here

Helloooo anyone with a eurovision hangover!

Songs weren't the best, were they? But thought some of the staging was awesome. UK was great, loved the 2000s horror setting and the changing perspectives. Shame about the song and the performance

Well got Planet Rock on Alexa and on my second or third Heineken

I miss the Terry Wogan satire.
He was brutal at times

Morning all. Any further aurora sightings? I gather the Met office got it wrong again and they were visible. A bit too cloudy round here so we had a look at 11.30pm then went to bed.

Agreed...the binocular purchase was a dud
