We've gone for an unlikely looking fat bloke from the north with a vanilla soft rock anthem all about his last breath.
What do you reckon, a master stroke or instead will the European public think "What the actual fuck? Give it a rest pal or it will be your last chuffin' breath!"

It's horrendous. However I'm looking forward to the night itself as that was inexplicably the most entertaining night on this forum last year! (I clearly don't get out much lol )

Thats kind of genius in a an amazingly shit way, the only point of if we were deep sea divers line is he needed something to rhyme with and no one comes to find us following line so just write any old rhyming bollocks....

Give it a rest pal or it will be your last chuffin' breath!" hasn't he written a Eurovision winning song before, and written number 1 hits as well, thought I heard them say that on the radio in the car? If it's bad, it could do well.

He's written himself off by getting involved in the first place. My opinion of course. 🤔

We've entered a few not-too-bad songs in recent years and still finished with fuck all points... we need to face up to the fact that we aren't popular and nobody will vote for us anyway. If we acknowledged this we could at least have more fun with the competition by taking the piss.

Don't some countries qualify due to funding etc or TV figures or something including the UK? Ireland have won it more than anyone but have to qualify but did take the piss out of it with Dustin the Turkey I remember. I only ever watch the scores...Portugal vote for Spain and vice versa, Scandinavians for each other, Malta for Cyprus etc

Mrs Q & I are avid watchers & have a prediction / forfeit system on where the maximum votes from each country go.
We once watched it whilst on holiday in a bar in Croatia. All sorts of countries' residents standing up & taking a bow / applause at the end of their song. We were the only Brits in the bar - stood up to a round of boos but were then bought sympathy drinks by all the other bar occupants all night. We got p1ssed as f4rts, had a great night.
Thought you were taking the mick with Dustin the Turkey so had to google it - I slouch corrected. That's funny as ! My Lovely Horse, on the other hand, would have been a nailed-on winner.

Pretty sure was a campaign to get My Lovely Horse as the official song. Let's not forget that the fancy version was a rip off of a b side by Nin Huguen and the Huguenotes so rules that effort out.

The final indignity will be administered when one of the comically and self-deprecatingly shit offerings from one of the minnows of Eastern Europe still manages to accrue more points than our portentous and earnestly shit offering.
