[NooBHA]

I've always had my hunch that Scotland was in the eastern bloc too.

Geographically impossible

 

[ManOfSussex]

Geographically impossible

Geographically, yes, but geopolitically and socio-economically, I've never been entirely convinced that it wasn't.

I made it, despite odds of 750/1. It is written, I tell thee. I am the Leicester of Eurovision.

If you thought Eurovision couldn't get any camper or any more OTT, let this year's hosts prove you oh-so-wrong:

The eastern bloc have been quite rightly lambasted for their attitude towards entries that are seen as camp or openly gay participants. They then, not wishing to encourage votes from such awful humanity, enter the following individuals....

People watching have been asked to raise a glass during the 9th song. This is a tribute to Sir Terry Wogan, who when standing down. advised Graham Norton not to start drinking until the 9th song, or he'd never last the night.

I've had a fiver at 7/1 that the official Eurovision Twitter account gets 1 million followers by midnight so could everyone start following please?...
