I'm watching Eurovision tonight

[oggbashan]

The Eurovision Song Contest is on this evening. Two of my daughters are joining me to watch it while my wife retreats to the kitchen to avoid 'that rubbish'.

One of my nephews and his partner have had house parties for the semifinals - decorating their house, keeping a running total on a giant wallboard, and filling the fridge with beer. Tonight they will have about thirty people at their house for the event, and the amount of beer drunk will be considerable - whether the UK wins (or, as usual - loses).

I forgot it was being shown on TV so catching up on it on youtube!

I've only ever heard of Eurovision from watching the Graham Norton Show here in the States on the BBC American cable/dish channel. He shows off some of them from time to time as his musical guests and often shows clips of their performance at the contest.

Recently we were sitting around ignoring the vast wasteland and a promo for Eurovision came on with clips of past contestants. Having seen them several times on Graham Norton, my wife looked up from her candy crush and said: "Is that Jedward?" and we both laughed that we knew who it was.
