I've been to Eurovision parties in the past.


No bias is allowed in the cuisine served - all wine is new world and food tends towards chinese or mexican. Everyone picks out of hats and supports their adopted country with gusto.


With enough Australian shiraz it's bloody good fun. Sober, I would rather bbq my tongue.

I think my best Eurovision memory was when I was 17 or 18 and Gina G was our entrant (she did very badly). We all watched at a mates and got take away curry. Have never done that with mates since, and maybe that should change this year...


I love the way Wogan just gets more p!ssed as the night goes on :)-D

I remember when Eurovision featured singers people had heard of, household names like Cliff, Lulu and 'Shoeless' Sandie Shaw.

These days you wouldn't recognise them unless they went around the place with floodlit signs strapped to their heads saying 'I'm the UK Eurovision entry for 2008'

I think it went downhill when this decimal money was introduced, what with the shilling bits being so fiddly an' all.


Wouldn't give you ten new pence for the lot of them.


Eurovision Song Contest? Bring back national service instead I say.

It's a chance for new talent to shine through, for both performers and songwriters. The talented youngsters from the Italia Conti stage school or as it might be the Brits all giving their all for the honour of representing their country. We can all be proud that our Eurovision entry is truly the 'best of the best'.


"Kid(s) you're going out onto that stage a raw unknown but you're coming back (a) star(s)"


Let's all get behind our entry and give them an almighty push.


I'm getting excited already.

I'll happily give any of the UK's recent entries a push - off a cliff onto a spike.


We need to take a leaf out of the book of our eastern European friends. Get some decent costumes in. Show some flesh. Cross dress. Plunder a best-forgotten musical genre. Have no shame.

Even Ireland, home of the yawnworthy acousto-megaballad has seen the light and plumped for Dustin the Turkey this year.

      They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
