Trulli,

I am disgusted with you!!!

Eurovision is one of the great european cultural extravaganses. You are a heathen, woman!! I have pm'd |Ronald and asked him to ban you permanently for your comments.

Andy

Text of PM is below:

Ronald,

I am writing to complain about Trulli's comments in the 'Eurovision' thread. i feel these were deeply hurtful, disrespectful and apart from anything else shows a complete lack of understanding or respect for European culture.

I am now asking as a result of her comments that you ban her PERMENANTLY!!!!:D :D :D

Regards

Andy

Trulli,

Forget that last comment, just watching Bosnia Herzagovina's entry, now feeling like slitting my wrists it's that depressing!

Andy

Does any body else think that Lithuania haven't quite got the hang of subliminal messages? Below are the lyrics........

We are the winners of Eurovision.
we are we are
We are the winners of Eurovision.
we are we are
Vote, Vote, Vote, Vote for the winners!!!

Hahaha, you lot don't know what yer missing, it's great

Andy

Oh my god, why do we always pick some twat who looks like timmy mallet and half the cast from Annie. It just leaves you expecting someone to smack him in the face and the rest to break into a rendition of 'it's a hard knock life'.

Andy

Well, just watching Finlands rendition of 'hard rock hallelujah'.......Wonderful - klingons, orcs and the lead singer looking like Roy Wood.

Must say though, even though it's the best so far, it's not a patch on last years entry 'Granny bangs the drum' which was robbed.

Andy

Andy,

You are banned for swearing! Ronni has no choice but to implement the rules fairly!

:D :D

Andy, I'm afraid you need a doctor, but a good one :D :D

What's Italys song like? I think I will go and watch it.. surely it's got to be slightly better than San Remo!

I will do if we (UK) get beat by the French, cos they were even worse than us!!! Depressing too, but that goes without saying!

Italy aren't in it this year. No entry listed on the official eurovision web-site

Andy

Those of you who have criticised me for watching eurovision, should look at the eurovision mega thread [url]http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=112018[/url]

It's not me, it's you who need a doctor Notaio. What is there not to like???

Andy

Since when did Italy see sense?

If Italy aint in it.. there is NO Eurovision!

:D :D

Oh Yes There Is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right,

Off we go to the voting now. Lets hope we win!

Andy

Just what are you on Andy? You are doing a better job than Wogan! :p

Pass it over lad!

:D :D

Following some untraditionally non-partisan voting at the Eurovisions son contest, war has broken out all over Europe..........

Portugal failed to give Spain any points. As a result, the Spanish has closed the Portugese borders and sent planes to intercept all commercial flights into the country. Ryanair's Michael O'leary has now annouced that until the situation is resolved, all flights to Porto, will be flying to an alternative local airport in Perpignan.

Got stocked up earlier with a big bottle of wine. Sent kids to bed at eight, lit up one of them herbal ciggies and off we went.

Andy

Lets dance til we get dizzy.. dont tell Tinks though.. he is on guard duty.

[ATTACH]603[/ATTACH]

You just couldn't make it up. Finland win with the song hard rock hallelujah. To be honest it had everything - Yep as i said before, klingons, orcs, roy wood, axed shaped guitars, big mechanical wings on the lead singer - everything!!!!!

You lot just don't know what you missed!!!!!

This is just wonderful stuff!!!

Andy

"How are you going to get grannies voting for that?" British competitor Daz Sampson said. (Referring to Finlands entry)

Andy

Lordi (loorde)

Roy Wood comparison was quite good!

Italy pulled out at the last minute. The singer was Moggi's daughter and she couldn't find her mobile phone!!!!

Italy bowed out of the Eurovision Song Contest some years ago. They said it was too inane.

It may be too inane for Italians, but it sure kept Andy amused last night.. he was shooting from the hip!
[ATTACH]606[/ATTACH]

Here's a few more photo'sof last nights glorious winners.

Andy:D

... we were enthralled by the sheer variety of songs on offer!

Like Andy, we got the box of wine out, though only together with some Pringles as a replacement for that herbal stuff... ;)

Can't believe how popular the English language is in the former Russian republics - seems like they don't speak Russian anymore!!

Yup, Germany entered the field with an Aussie gal singing C&W !! No surprise she was in the lower quarter at the end... as was the British guy... we thought it was a bit pervy with those schoolgirls dancing around in their uniforms!! :eek:

But what I love most about it is the strong bond between the Balkan states... not that they chopped each others heads off not so long ago... now they're bestest friends again... awww bless!! World peace to all! :)

Still think there are too many countries in there now and the new voting system was a bit disappointing! Where was the tension?? No chance for a buildup...

Loved the Fins... quite funny! Can't believe though that some countries still insist on that kind of warble that was popular in the 60s-80s...

Think that'll do me for another year ;)

[CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=black]Hang on there Steph, my Dave loves that 60's-80's warble and the lead singer was doing an impersonation of my Dave! Kidding I am not, he can do the tongue thing too! Or is Dave impersonating Roy Wood? Dave is the sexiest one though! ;) [/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]Oops, I didn't watch it Andy honest just saw your pics! :D :D :D [/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER]

Steph,

Please don't feel you have to wait. The dvd will be available very soon at [url]www.eurovision.tv[/url] ;)

Andy

LOL Trulli... that tongue thing scared the hell out of me... :D

But as you clearly weren't watching, it must've been Dave. Didn't expect him to look like an Orc but there ya go... cheers for clarifying!!

Yes, nearly choked on my wine, Andy, when they held up the CDs while the voting went on!! Think I'd get kicked out of my home though if I ever dared play it here... ;)

I quite liked the Lithuanian guys... the self-proclaimed winners! Shame that the audience didn't see the funny side. The Fins were clearly taking the pee too but they weren't booed (sp??)!

Iona, not quite a orc! :eek:

Just before we met with his god children.

Don't panic, he now looks more like Aragorn from Lord of the Rings! ;)

Lordi on the Eurovision has just started a whole new craze in the younger generation - i.e. watching Eurovision. That's how they have kept it going for so many years. Every now and then give the youth of the day something they can really get their teeth into and hey presto - hooked for life. My son
(14) voted many times on the mobile so that Lordi would win!!! How sad is that. Meanwhile his mother and father and a couple of friends were cracking open a few bottles of the vino rosso. Long live Saturday nights and Eurovision.

Hmmm we like Aragorn... well done, Arwen! ;)

Frankie & Poppy,

Glad you enjoyed it - I bet your service provider did too!! :D

We are the grim parents of the poor child who can only have £10 a month on his mobile. BUT he usually chooses to have the cash rather than the minutes. We've got to pay for the house in Italy some way!!!

Here's my favourite, my husband is the lookalike for loon pot with glasses who goes balistic. I have to put up with this behaviour at every 'doo' we go to..;)

You can also petition for Italy to participate again in the Eurovision on this link

[url]http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/7512.html[/url]

Couldn't get your vid link to work Paula is it my end or yours?

For new Lordi fans here is a link :D

[URL="http://www.eurovision.tv/english/2469.htm"]http://www.eurovision.tv/english/2469.htm[/URL]

Here is the main reason Italy gave for not taking part!

"Uno dei motivi principali dell'interruzione della partecipazione italiana e' una clausola del regolamento della manifestazione: il paese che vince l'Eurofestival deve organizzare la manifestazione dell'anno successivo accollandosi la maggior parte degli oneri economici. La RAI ha cosi deciso di evitare questo rischio ritirandosi a tempo indeterminato dalla gara."

I know they had "Volare".. but really.. who are Italy kidding? :D

Well, even Google bill it as a Beta, and doesn't one of the characters in the clip look like a presidential hopeful who got poisoned by his rivals?? Think I will continue to give Eurovision a miss :) "nul pointes" at a BBC lady used to say in French!!

I hope you have recovered from the hangover :) :) What time did you arise the mornig after the Eurovision song contest.......

OK, I suppose it's confesion time here. I have a number of friends who were round last night and some of you may have noticed we were a bit merry and very into Eurovision. They are from New Zealand and Australia and up until last year had never seen anything like it. (Yes, we had a eurovision party!!!)

We have now all had chance to evaluate last night and decided that whilst it was good, it was not as good as last year.

Mainlky due to my all time favourite entry from Moldova - Granny Bangs Drums. They even had a real life granny on stage banging her drum. In my book, that beats orcs any day. Link below.

.. morning .. get it right!

:) :)

Well, here in Italy, blissfully unaware that the Eurovision song contest would have been competing for my attention, I was eating an Aussie prepared barbecue!! I'm under the impression that I made the right choice!!

OOooofffhhhh!! :)

Lordi have a great web site! and a forum. Shame most of it is in Finish - for obvious reasons but their forum is far more popular than this one!
