Whilst we were looking the other way #Pulp just dropped the song of the summer. youtu.be/c_xnLmRz6XM?...

Some fans have set #Eurovision on a path to ruination. Stupid made up rules about what a ‘Eurovision’ song must be has drained the life. How many boxes can you tick, what will please the jury, bitter reaction videos analysing the death out of every song. We need to start challenging all this shit.

The neighbour has just asked if we would like to borrow a lawnmower. NB: we have a lawnmower. I adore passive aggressive behaviour. Will now string out mowing lawn till Sunday.

Is this true??? 😬

Still the last time a #Eurovision song melted my heart. I’m also increasingly enraged at just how awful all the Turin staging was every time I look back at 2022. youtu.be/sgOnu7ux2-k?...

She’s been right there warning about this for over a decade.

Post #Eurovision reflection. Y’know. I really would have liked Latvia to win.

Fernando really bringing the Spanish passion and some language to cheese rolling this year.

Made it back from Basel. Many many thoughts! 🧵 1) Basel had put a lot of effort in, they did a lovely job. It’s a beautiful place. Impeccable organisation and transport. Thanks to Basel!

In my annual act of patriotism yes I will be bringing my flag and wearing my pearls later. Praying for not last 💪🏻 #Eurovision

Oh the tales we shall return from Basel with! I will never recover from 8 chf (£7.20) for A CUP OF WATER last night. And a nice 5 chf fleecing today for a sodding locker at Eurovillage since bags are banned. #Eurovision I think I need to stop moaning so much about the UK 🤣

Got the tram back from the arena with Alexander Rybak which was a bit random. Gutted for Australia. 😭 #Eurovision

Ich komme #Eurovision

Probably my only comment on this but the ending of Eurovision last night straight into BBC News headlines was in my head for hours last night. A celebration into images of starving children in Gaza. And it’s still in my head this morning.

Iceland looked genuinely surprised and overjoyed. Very sweet ❤️ #Eurovision

Maybe it’s not just the viewers having trouble with mixing because oh man some of these acts are pitchy as hell. #Eurovision

Why are the Belgian vocals so quiet? Just me?? #Eurovision

SQUEEEEEEEEEE #Eurovision

This feels a bit like he’s being dragged for sheep dipping. I sort of love it. #Eurovision

Remind me which of these stagings had claimed to be ‘never done before’ etc etc. I need to get my acerbic pen ready. #Eurovision

Okay so it’s only rehearsals and the camera shots are too wide but the acts with props look so much better than just relying on the led screen. Too much empty space up there. #Eurovision

I may be going mad but after clip perusing today I’m suggesting Slovenia may have a decent shot at qualifying. #Eurovision.

Budget did not stretch to an apostrophe apparently. I am that petty. #Eurovision
