Eurovision.

[Kajinku]

I'm a bit late with this, but anyone in here who watched the Eurovision?

OK, here I go:
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHH!!! NOOO!! *SO* close! 2 points! 2 small points DAMMIT!!

That's better. For those that don't know, Turkey won. Belgium was second, with a difference of... right, 2 points. *sigh*

EDIT : Oh, and in your face England! :P Sorry, just had to say that.

[Kitiara]

Yes, we managed an amazing null points... :sure: We should have put forward a pair of lesbians... :)

Thankfully I missed it, as I was out watching atrix Reloaded instead. :P

[Kajinku]

Actually I don't even know which song Belgium had. :beam:
I zapped when the points were given. That's how I know the results.

Still, zero points! Heh! :P ;)

[PierceG]

The Eurovision represents everything thats wrong with Europe today. A lack of grace, a lack of postive personal image.
I only heard the Irish and German songs. Incredible, that anything could be so bad. It's like they're trying.

[Kitiara]

I think the only reason Englih people listen to it is to hear Terry Wogan's drunken commentary. :)

[PierceG]

And don't even have that. I mean, most Irish have the english channels, but I don't at home.
We've got this bland *** called Marty Whelan. He thinks the Eurovision's good. Not an ounce of irony in the man. He actually compliments the songs!

[Kitiara]

Wogan rips the mickey something chronic. Sometimes he sounds like he means it, but then you realise he's being sooooo sarcastic. :)

I still preferred to go to Bluewater and watch Matrix 2 though. Keanu or Wogan? Ooo, no contest. :beam:

I agree. The songs are usually (read: always) total crap. The result was a travesty and it's all very political anyway. But I think that's what people expect from Eurovision: bad music, fake results.

[Soul]

Eurovision is so bad its good :P I like to watch and laugh and listen to Terry Wogan, without him I wouldn't watch :thumb: And yes England did so bad lol, I'd get more points than them!

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

I wouldn't, I sing worse than they did. :P I sound like a cat being dragged through somewhere a cat should not be dragged. Backwards.

But Wogan is the only decent thing about Eurovision. You can tell he's had a few drinks beforehand to cope with it all. :)

[Soul]

A few! :P

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Alright, a lot then. :P

I can't blame him though. :)

[andr.in]

we got 9! Woohoo! lol Austria was me favourite!

[Soul]

I bet the Americans are scared and confused now, aren't you!? AREN'T YOU!! :scream:



:P

- Soul :s:

[Soul]

lol!! Austria was that weirdo who kept bouncing around wasn't he? Hehehe he was funny :P

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

We should have entered Gareth Gates for it. Couldn't have done worse than 0 points.

Hang on a minute, did I just say that??? :stunned:

[Soul]

Yes you did :scream:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Please kill me.

Or at least throw some cold water over my head to wake me up. :hangover:

I do apologise, I don't know what came over me.

[Soul]

*throws water*

You fancy him :P You want to stroke his spikes :P

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

No I bloody don't! :P

[Soul]

Yes you doooo :P You want to play with his spikes while he sings love songs to you in bed :P:P

Pm Kit :thumb:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

I <i>so</i> don't, you know. :P He's... creepy.

Got it... The alert thing doesn't seem to be working. :angry:

[Soul]

Its not working because you love Gareth Gates! :P

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Liar! It worked that time, so I must dislike him. Mwa ha ha! :P

[Soul]

You want to have his babies :P

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

No! The horror, the horror! :stunned:

[Soul]

At least you'd be famous :beam:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

I'd rather not be famous for that though. :P

[Soul]

... and rich :bad:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Still wouldn't. :)

Hehe... bloody. How English. :)
Even if I'm much closer to England than the U.S., "American" sounds more familiar to me. Blame TV for that. :beam:

[mlk]

AAhha.. France got kicked in the arse during the eurovision... But some idiots (humorists) were presenting the show and they made fun of everybody especially the brits so it wasnt really serious...

God the eurovision is old though, my grandpa. used to watch them...

[Raydred]

WHat is this Eurovison? im interested in just knowning.. YEs im American, but you know what i Love the English people (Definatly the Accents are Awesome to me) and the european nations =) hehe cant wait to come visit ..

Please explain...

[mdipi]

yeah it sounds like an american idol thing but with countries...

[Soul]

Its a music contest for all of Europe. Each country has a song and then they all give out votes to each other. Its been going years!! Its mostly cheesy pop songs, but fun to watch :beam:

- Soul :s:

[Voetsjoeba]

We were soooo close ! Urban Trad did a really good job :) **** those dumb 2 points. Hey Kajinku, goe datter ier nog nen Belg is :beam: Kzen der nonnie veel tegegekome :)

[pinx]

[reverendflash]

Splidzein veel frig niptop!

[Kitiara]

I always wondered how England can have such cool bands as Coldplay and that, yet still enter such abject rubbish in the Eurovision... :sure:

[Raydred]

majority of people have to taste hehe =)

I see now =) ... I wish i got some English Stations lol (from Texas? )..

Anyway, im totally into UK for some reason, is the UK nice to live in kit?

[Soul]

Theres some nasty people :P

- Soul :s:

[Raydred]

Same here buddy, but i suppose im under the stereo type that all english people are of the "Are you being served" callibur(sp) or the "monty python" types lol =) jk

I like it here... I pay way too much tax on what I earn, but that's life. :sure: If you find a nice area with nice people then it's great. Our weather is weird, but that's half the fun and gives us something to whinge about. We like to whinge about stuff. It's a very British thing to do. :)

[Soul]

I don't whinge!!!

York is nice :thumb:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Rainham is nice too. So is Bromley. :) But Chatham is a tip and I wouldn't live there for any amount of money. :)

[Soul]

Not even 60 billion pounds? :P:P

[Kitiara]

To live in Chatham? Not a chance. :) It's a real dump. Seriously. Full of chavs, it's horrible. The houses are falling to pieces, and it's a bad area in general. :)

I might take the money and do a runner though. :P

[Soul]

60 billion!!! Are you crazy woman!?! :scream:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

No, I <i>would</i> take the money and run. :P

I guess maybe for 60 billion I'd put up with Chatham for a while. As long as I could sell the house and move. :)

[Soul]

Gurl you should give it away to homeless children!! You've got 60 billion quid, you can afford it :P Don't be selfish :P

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Fair point I guess. For 60 billion I could own the country! :P

Trying to think of where in England I would really like to live now... What about you guys?

[Soul]

York :thumb:

[Kitiara]

I want somewhere near to a city / town for all the stuff there, but far enough out that it's not too hectic.

[mdipi]

either downtown london or windsor here. but for 60 billion pounds frekin buy the town and kick out who you dont like!

[Kitiara]

I've lived in various bits of London, and while I like it in some ways, I'm not sure I'd want to go back... :)

I like having the access to London that I've got, but I'm far enough out that I don't have to pay London prices for everything. :)

[Soul]

Me never been to London

[Raydred]

Hmm... Im coming to Kit's Town when i go to live in England lol =)

Not that im stalking you lol

[Kitiara]

Never?!? :stunned:

I'll have to take you there, it's such a cool place (even if I don't want to live there anymore, it's still cool :) ).

[mdipi]

oh see my mom is wanting me to do a one year college thinger so she can live in London lol. but she has to wait 4 years. i loved it there, i was over in if for a week and its jsut a whole nother city compared to NYC, its just cool. and windsor was jsut b-e-a-utiful (said like Jim from in Bruce almity) is windsor close to Yorkshire? i donno cause i had Yorkshire Pudding and boy it was good. Speaking of Yorkshire Pudding, where is she?

[Soul]

lol no, Yorkshire is no where near Windsor :P Well comparable to America I guess it is, but then anythign is close in England if you compare it with the vastness of America! :beam: Its like 300 miles away-ish

- Soul :s:

[Raydred]

sweet... yea i live in a Big State.. Texas, takes like 7 weeks to get anywhere! (thats an eggateration. lol

[mdipi]

oh yeah well soul, um, i ate yorkshire pudding! :P lol. i will come to yorkshire with my yorkies someday, you see/

[Soul]

*nods* Yorkshire puddings are good, I invented them you know :P

- Soul :s:

[mdipi]

nah! but they are just like so, so crisp and light, cant explain.

[Soul]

English perfection :P

[mdipi]

i can imagen cause the dogs rule too! although my four year old Dr. Pepper might have pintched a nerve or pulled a muscle hunting
:(

[Kitiara]

Windsor is near where I used to live - it's just outside of London on the M4. Think it counts as the county of Middlesex...

It's near Staines, which is where Ali G is 'from'. if that helps. :P
