Put me in if there is a space left - Just noticed...too late....no worries, I think I am washing my hair that night

 

[Official Old Man]

Party time. Stacks of Aldi 99p shove in the oven goodies, pringles, cheeses and wine, lots of wine to make it sound better. A nice bottle of Rioja or two I think this year.
I'm in.

Right, so here we go with the draw. This has been made entirely at random and, as I haven't heard any entry other than ours and nor have I looked at the betting odds, I have absolutely no idea what constitutes a good or bad draw from this selection. The draw is seperated into three sections, one for each of the Semi Finals and one for those 6 lucky people whose countries go straight into the Final. The order of the songs in each section is the order in which they will perform.

[Marshy]

Straight to the Final and an attractive lady singing too... half a chance

Not wierd enough i suspect though to do any real damage

 

[Trigger]

All over tonight for me!

 

[Gwylan]

Ooh, Sweden ....there's a bit of form there.

Know nothing about the song though

 

[martin tyler]

500/1 on Stan James. Defo worth an each way bet as tbh the Serbia song is alright. Well the music video at least is. She may well suck live. Not sure if Serbia get any bankers with points though
