Glastonbury v Eurovision

Why oh why did they put them both on at the same time?

I know which I'd like to watch, but no doubt I'll be forced to watch Vera or some other detective shite instead.

Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

I like Vera. I would watch Fawlty Towers reruns for the 154th time rather than Eurovision.

But to be honest now we can actually sit inside a building that serves booze I'll be doing that. With ourlass obviously.

One Vera was enough for me. Can't stand that whining voice.
And why do the locations all have to be so bleak?


We'd normally be out on Eurovision night - always meet up with bunch of friends, to miss the ritual humiliation of Royaume Uni. Covid has put the kibosh on that.

Is watching neither an option?

Sounds like the only option to me, after I've wash my hair that is

I'll take your word for it, though I'll bet they're no Coldplay....

If UK comes fourth we'll be lucky. That is, 4th from bottom.

Cast you mind back dear reader to a warm day in May 1997 when New Labour under Tony Blair sweeps to victory and in the same month Blair's New Britain sweeps all before it at Eurovision. Fast forward to 2021 where during a cold, wet May evening Boris' Brexit Britain gets nul point. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Did we not win then?

I thought when they pulled off the skirts for shorter skirts the votes would pile in.

Amanda Holden is trending on Twitter for some faux pas last night. Any ideas anyone?
