Seeing the other thread about who'll win eurovision, I think the better question is who will watch it? If you plan to watch it, Why???? I dont ask why not ;)

Wogan. It's worth watching it just to hear him get angry:p

It's an informative look into eastern european politics, camouflaged with bad singing and lots of leather.

Sort of like a pan-european PMQs.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Who will want to guess which country will Greece give 12 votes? :D

We had a Euro-vision party last year. the rules are that you each get allocated a country and you mark each country. Also you have to drink every time wogan drinks and put on silly Euro-accents. great fun

I might watch it purely for Wogan.

I'm a Wake Up To Wogan junkie...

i watch it every year 50% because of wogan and 50% for the vain hope that the Uk will win:headbang:

Turn it into a drinking game. Everytime a bad song is sung, take one sip og vodka. Trust me, by half way through, you'll be wasted :P

I don't think we get any coverage over here. It looks pretty funny though.

There needs to be a "I'm not in Europe" option on the poll :p

No, the drinking game is done on strict lines:
Singing:
Two fingers (of beer) for each key change in a song.
Two fingers for every complex dance routine.
Four fingers for every song sung in more than one language.
Four fingers for a comment that would be considered xenophobic if it weren't Wogan saying it.
Four fingers if Wogan compares the hosts to a crappy tv personality from Britain.

Voting:
x fingers for political votes, where x is equivalent to the number of points scored. (For Eastern European countries, play it as x/2, or you'll be wankered way before the end).
Two fingers for any confusion between hosts and the person giving the score from any country, arising from the delay caused by satellite transmission.
Two fingers whenever a 'score-giver' says 'Hello Athens'. Four fingers if it's said in a native (non-English) language, six if it's said in both a native language and English.
Four fingers each time your country scores 0.
Half pint for each time your country scores 12.
One pint if any country scores nul points overall.

I'm having a Eurovision party this year!

I'm having a Eurovision party this year!Now THAT'S a drinking game... I shall have to steal those rules...

Only problem is I dont have enough b33r... I shal have to buy more in with my non existant cash...

I wouldn't watch that silly show. I'm still holding out hope that Vladimir Horowitz will rise from the grave and push Eurovision out of the spotlight.

i watch it every year 50% because of wogan and 50% for the vain hope that the Uk will win:headbang:
