Has as much chance of winning the Eurovision as Eric Pickles has of getting an Olympic Gold in the high jump or David Blunkett of getting a new record in the 110m hurdles

But may be I'm wrong.

What do you reckon?

I reckon that the UK has as much chance of winning Eurovision as a slug getting the world 100m record. The fact that the UK has p'd off most of Europe in the last 10 years by various actions such as supporting the US in Iraq, there is not the remotest hope of them winning so it doesn't matter a flying f**k who gets to represent them. That & they're not in the Slavic self-buggeration camp.

I think more countries will vote for him rather than the other contrived nonsense we normally send!

But really, are we that bothered about winning?

I think it's cool. The Eurovision is kitsch and camp, so sending an old crooner is kind of buying into the whole irony of it.

David Lock

And I've never quite undestood how Israel managed to sneak into the contest unless the've joined the EC when I was busy

Anyway an immensly tedious show all round

Couldn't give a Boll0cks about Eurovision,what's the point of it anyway.

He might get the sympathy vote, he has got to be nearly 100 years old

I won't be watching, it is utterly tiresome

paulr

Yes, it totally irrelevant and should be on BBC2.

Because its jolly good value for the licence fee













































































NOT!!!!! its a pile of steaming poo,

In the days of knitted tank tops and luke warm homebrewed fondue, it may have been mildly entertaining, today its just a sorry joke at licence payers expense,

We have a whole year of completly bonkers random selection process, which involves ""your vote (at your expense)"" and ups our profit, to keep in your favorite act, because only your vote can save them. Of whom none of them could win because they miss the whole bloody point,

We get "Trevor", a classicly trained singerist, who's left ******** suffered a mild torsion midway between birth and puberty, and now his whole life is a journey to find himelf, and by singing in eurovsion, will raise awareness of the plight of bashed bollocks and bring about world peace and inter euro harmony..... Null points

They get ""Pling"", some half baked pack of european chavagers found wandering a local park and think there the next best thing to the Stones, With a few bum chords, and a chorus of "Dang, Dang, Dang" they will get fame fortune and forgotten within 3 months ... Ten points

It's so bad even Murdoch doesn't want it.

He always had a good singing voice. If it is still as good, he might well do a very good job. Depends on whether the worth of the song is judged by the looks etc. of those presenting it, or whether it is a good song and well sung, which is theoretically what is important in a singing contest.

I was speaking theoretically Dave, in fact I said so!
