I'm taking a European Politics class in Dublin that is kicking my ass. Most of that is that the prof sucks ass, though. I have to take the final tomorrow, which I'm going to fail. But that's ok, because I have a spacecake to munch on with a friend after the exam! And I'm going to Venice on Friday. Fun, fun.

"Lordi"? As in, "Lordy, lordy, lordy..."? As in "Lawks..."?

"Phew, Lordi... get a load of them..."

"lawks.. " possibly. I really want to see these guys play, or at least devour half the other contestants. I would start with the dutch hotties.

god, i love that you're much more into the Eurovision contest than any European person i know lol

the French singer is predictably lame. and they're still wondering why we've not won for 40 years or something ...

it's just compelling watching with the way the votes go. Sweden and Norway ALWAYS exchange votes, Germany always gives votes to pretty much anyone they invaded, watching the old bits of the USSR try to buy friends with votes is amusing, and watching Britain get shafted is just fucking hilarious.

Can you explain this "Texas Lightning" to me, please?

The french girl looks like another Celine Dion kind of thing (i know she's a canuck, and i am not blaming you for her.)

There was a classic a couple of years ago, where the Brit entry (a young guy/girl pairing), while undeniably good looking, forgot their "make-our-terrible-voices-sound-good" box to put in the effects booth. You've never heard such a terrible performance. Flat, off-key, out of tune, you name it.

They came dead last with 0 votes. Fucking hilarious.

i think they got no votes because Britain was resisting adopting the Euro as a currency.

Poland appear to be going for a variation on a theme of ABBA.

Modernised ABBA, we are clearly looking at a much more updated look for the contestants. I am thinking vintage 1982-85.

As one of the few Brits on the list, tell us about Daz the chav. No, really, what's the joke here?
