*** The Official OcUK Eurovision 2019 GD thread ***

The only way for the UK to get points is to find some quirky hot females that flash a bit of flesh.

Or a gay bearded man dressed as a lady.

Nah just roll out Adele..

Sweden got a double whammy. Not only were they expecting to win or at worst come second, they ended up 6th.

Whoever did their last place bet might get it after all now.

Twas me

Theresa May will be looking for a new job. She can rap "No deal is better than a bad deal" "Brexit means Brexit" etc

Time to leave the thread before the annual rants about Eurovision, I'll cover them all below:

* We should pull out, we practically pay for it
* Leave the EU we'll leave this (even though we won't)
* Even if we sent The Beatles/Ed Sheeran/Adele we wouldn't win as they hate us
* It's all political voting

Anyone got any others?

Do you disagree with #4? Seems widely acknowledged by ... everyone! That the voting is political. #3 is probably true also. No idea about #1.

How long have the audience been cooped up in that arena, they look knackered.

We’re one of the main contributors to the funding. It’s why we don’t need to qualify.

Yep. Which is why we should just troll the crap out of it. Like Iceland did this year

 

[Gimpymoo]

Songs were pants and Graham Norton was nowhere near the sarcasm level needed to make it watchable

 

[Feek]

It's always political, it'll be interesting to see what happens next year after we've cancelled Brexit. We could win!

Genuinely sad for our entry though, it was decent and didn't deserve to come last.

 

[Andrew_McP]

Next year's entry...

(except maybe with the arms at a more flattering angle and a smidge of diversity).

 

[Gimpymoo]

The thing is, we tried and look what happened?

Iceland think "**** it" and they do better than us.

 

[Raymond Lin]

It's a pop contest, it will be forgotten by lunch time on Monday after the morning "we can last on Eurovision" talk over making the morning coffee at work.

 

[Gimpymoo]

LOL

Right after Eurovision, they trail the FA Cup highlights after the news.

As soon as the news starts, they give the score of the match.

 

[mikedigitales]

It's such a shame for the poor kid representing us, nowhere near the worst.

 

[Diddums]

As much as I love to flaunt my Dutch roots (and nationality, suck it Brexit), that Dutch performance was awful and not even in the same league as some of the others. If I was a betting man I'd suggest it's all fixed.

England sucked balls btw, how Mr Fake-Tan was allowed to represent England is a mystery

I think he'll do better out of the post-show sympathy/notoriety than he would have done if we'd come two thirds of the way up the board.

Because some plonkers voted for him in the BBC show back in February or whenever it was.

Balls of steel and no **** given!
