Douze points

Do you guys across the pond ever wonder what stops us little Euro-peen countries a a-fussin' and a-feudin' all the time these days?

It's a little thing called the Eurovision Song Contest. Once a year we all get together for a big sing-a-long and relentlessly take the piss out of each other. It's fabulously camp, wonderfully crass and highly enjoyable with a few glasses of vino collapso.

Current favorites at the half way stage with the EnVérite jury is the German entry. Country and Western stylee! Big pink frocks! :D
Blogger Becky  Russia: Albino piano-creatures! :-O 
Blogger Becky  Lithuania: positive thinking! :-) 
Blogger Jane  Well at least they can sing in tune.

Argh the British entry - awful, creepy and embarrassing. 
Anonymous Valerie  Oh! Schoolgirl fantasies! 
Blogger Jane  Actually I really liked the British entry and I am wrong and I smell. 
Blogger Becky  That'll teach you not to log out when you log on on my machine, Jane. :-D

Evil Becky xxx 
Blogger Jane  The "Late" Evil Becky I hasten to add! Grrrrrr 
Blogger Becky  Heehee. :-)

Agreed Valerie, must dig out my schoolgirl uniform. :-) 
Blogger Billy  The Germans are very good at doing country. I wonder why this is. 
Anonymous Valerie  Ha! There are at least 4 people in Europe watching the show! (or did you just make an intelligent guess?) 
Blogger Becky  Isn't it great!

Who do Finland normally vote for, Val? 
Anonymous Valerie  Doesn't everybody vote for neighbours? Sweden seems to be this time more hate than love, so it goes to Russia.. You know, we have never won the contest.. 
Blogger Becky  I think that's going to change this year. :-) 
Anonymous Valerie  I'm going to pee in my knickers (if you allow the expression) 
Blogger Becky  Have 12 points from the UK. :D 
Blogger Billy  Looks like the Finns are going to get it... 
Blogger Jane  Congratulations to Finland!!!!

So Valerie you'll be buying all the drinks at Sparkle eh??? Mine's a pint of Creme de Menthe 
Blogger Becky  Yep, they got it!

Congrats Valerie! Are we all invited to the Eurovision party at your place next year? :-D 
Anonymous Valerie  Yes you have everything. Champagne for everybody at Sparkle (at my place, just name the brand). Eurovision participation next year. Weekend with Santa in Ice Hotel in Lappland. Endless supply of Finlandia vodka, in Ice Bar, with James Bond. We have never won the contest. Period. When Lordi was selected as our representative it was a national fight it's a shame for the nation. And now what? They ******* win! Thank you Europe! (Maybe everybody is just tired of the stereotype songs...)... Oh! 
Anonymous Valerie  More vino! 
Blogger Becky  Someone get that girl another drink! 
Anonymous Valerie  What a kind soul.. I will remember Creme de Menthe. Any other wishes? It's self service here, I'm afraid. 
Blogger Zoe Bergstroem  Only Place 14 for our german Band damned! I think it's a great song
