May 13, 20179 yr Don't worry Ron, there are plenty down here wondering why we are involved in it David Porrett

May 13, 20179 yr I have to laugh when people question why we haven't come close to winning Eurovision for 20 years. The simple answer is that every single UK song that has been entered into the competition since Katrina and the Waves won has been CRAP.

May 13, 20179 yr Spot-on,Chris! Besides, it has rapidly descended into 'You-give-me-10-points-Bosnia-and-I-will-give you.........points back' sort of political charade Rick Almeida
May 13, 20179 yr Author According to my wife, who is a Eurovision expert, Australia thrashed the Pommies! They came 9th, Royaume-Uni 15th But we'll get our own back at cricket! The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

Don't get too excited, Portugal has to host the thing next year. That won't do much for your balance of payments. The World is divided into two groups.

May 14, 20179 yr As an Australian, I ask what we are doing in a European event, but I have since been suitably informed, that we are there(and have been for 3 years)by Invitation from the Organizers(why, I know not) and thanks to that idiot Australian who 'mooned' this years event during scoring, it will probably be our last. steve
May 14, 20179 yr I get the feeling it is bigger in Australia than a lot of European countries, which is a concern... Ian S

May 14, 20179 yr Well, our Salvador won - firt time in 53 years ! I remember watching all European song contests when I was a kid... It was always a disappointment :-/ Yesterday I wasn't even paying attention when wife called to see - it's been years since I last had seen a contest in the Tv... Well, last two years have been full of nice surprises for Portugal :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

I was in Australia last year when the Eurovision was on and everyone was talking about it (and I was asked when checking into a hotel if I'm looking forward to it). I stopped watching years ago and it's definitely not as popular as it once was
