[Lauren Hynde]

It's on right now. Run for your lives.

Whatt?????

I thought it was always on a Saturday night... or is this the prelims?

I guess it is the prelim. It just jumped at me and took over the TV while I was waiting for the news.

 

[Liar]

Qualifying round. Europe is too big these days.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

The good thing about prelims is that Portugal will get kicked out right now and save me further embarrassment on Saturday...

 

[CharleyH]

It's on right now. Run for your lives.

I have systematically removed all foreign language channels from my TV and so ... I am SAFE!

I'm relieved! I think I would have cried if I'd missed the main one!

Don't you believe it.

There are some really dire entries this year.

Portugal may still be there on Saturday.

You're in Portugal, silly. Removing all the "foreign" channels would have left you no choice but this or soap operas.

Og

Don't jinx it.

(What the fuck is this playing right now?)

Yeah - and ours is one of them (double entendre city) - but at least the girls are quite hot and wearing very tight skirts...

Any language but English is foreign to me, dear.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Are these guys attempting some sort of Gypsy-HipHop fusion?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Any language but English is foreign to me, dear.

Not as much as it used to be.

 

[Liar]

Are these guys attempting some sort of Gypsy-HipHop fusion?

Um. Yes.

 

[Liar]

Reaching for th remote. This is not even suitable for background noise.

*shudder*

 

[CharleyH]

Not as much as it used to be.

Hm ... or is that hmm in Portuguese?

Amo-te.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Oh, a magician!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Hm ... or is that hmm in Portuguese?

Amo-te.

Estás a ver como sabes dizer uma coisa ou duas em português? Também te amo muito.

So, do I need to get up and watch the TV for a laugh or will it be for masochistic reasons?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I'll let you know when the Portuguese song is on, if you're really up for a laugh (or some masochism).

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Oh, wait. Portugal is number 17. Even with 3 minutes per country, it would mean nearly an hour of this. Forget about it.

 

[CharleyH]

Estás a ver como sabes dizer uma coisa ou duas em português? Também te amo muito.

I read better than I write, but I think my safe response is I know a word or two and can say them quite perfectly, in fact.

com beijos

Ye gods woman!!

Don't do that to me.

I always watch it, make an evening of it, drinks, nibbles, and a lot of laughs.

Roll on Saturday.

(Min is actually going to endure it with me....... )

 

[angelicminx]

Is this on in the US at all?
