Votes counted and we voted for Australia and Bulgaria which literally nobody was happy about andnow there's sulking. Husband particularly annoyed that we didnt vote for Belgium.

If that was the act that came on after the competition-y bit, can I start a petition now to have them open the Pyramid in 2019 please?

I'd support it. I said to the people I'm watching it - I'm fairly sure I'll be trying to find an act like this come 2am at Glastonbury.

They were good, it was a bit like when Hothouse Flowers performed in the same slot when Ireland hosted and you suddenly thought they were better than the acts that had gone before.

[brandycoke]

Think we have a winner

An Aussie Jarvis

It was. I enjoyed it. 

Outfits similar to stormtroopers though 

The petition is allowed if it includes the Aussie streaker too

I thought he had an Australian flag, that is what happens when you invite the Australians to your party.

[giantkatestacks]

ONUKA was the interval act apparently

[semmtexx]

Bottom!

[pie_and_a_pint]

(How ace are ONUKA? Can we get them in Silver Hayes, d'you think?)

Wasn't me I've just got back to my luxury Travelodge after walking 40km, I can no longer feel my flamingo legs.

I'm not surprised you can't feel your legs.  Well done for walking that far.

Evict all paddies from the uk now #brexit

Portugal was a nice song....but it wasn't worth this kind of result.

The public vote will be interesting.

[OneLittleFish]

Not quite as bad as I expected, but we're not popular and quite right too.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Two of my mates once booked to go to Riga months and months ahead of when they were due to go. On the way there, they realized that the Eurovision Song Contest was being held there the weekend that they were staying. Somehow they managed to lose each other while out on the lash. The one lad tried to get home that night, but awoke the next morning in a municipal park to experience some bloke throwing tomatoes at him. The other lad faired far worse. He kept on staggering about throughout the night trying to find the hotel etc. He eventually saw an open garage with a slatted bench in it, decided to throw the towel in on getting back to the hotel, and lay down on the bench. He too was awoken rather abruptly the next morning. He awoke to find a pensioner beating him with a broom. So, he fucked off out of there, and eventually found the hotel again.

So he enters the hotel and goes to the breakfast bar to pick up a beer to drink. There sitting at a table in the dining area is his / my mate that ended up in the park, and he's still covered in tomatoes. He looks up to see his/ my other mate walk in to the dining room with black painted intermittent lines all the way down and across each other. It transpired that the OAP who beat him with the broom, did so, because he'd slept on his freshly painted bench. He'd then walked across Riga covered in painted lines. It took him a change of clothes and three days of thoroughly washing himself, before he was restored to his former glory.

We are more popular in europe than my irish friends are with me right now. I might disown them.

Sad for the rapping yodellers

[pie_and_a_pint]

Well, we got 111 points. Which is about 100 more than usual.

A smiley face might have helped me to not feel insulted by that.  

And whatever Ireland voted, the UK would still have been in the lower half of the table (which is probably better than not being on the final table at all).
