Were hoping to find somewhere lively in San Diego to watch it, but apparently they haven't heard of it here ;D

Will you be watching tonight?
As a straight male, I didn't think I was allowed to.

Not that I want to.

Since Dana won it in 1743 it's become a festival for gay/queer/trans celebration. :)

You know ,   I watched the BBC report on it earlier today and immediately came to that conclusion.
They featured three " acts " ,as I couldn't call them singers , and thought how fortunate I was to have grown up in the 70's and listened to some superb music .
That tiny , tiny minority have ruined mainstream TV.
I'll be giving it a pass .....again .

Err - the '70s were the decade of glam rock - T-Rex/Marc Bolan, Sparks, Elton John, David Bowie, Slade, Gary Glitter, Queen, The Rocky Horror Show, etc, etc. I'd argue these are the very Genesis of "gay/queer/trans celebration", even if some of the artists aren't bent as a 3-bob note.

Get down the dockside - either near USS Midway, or over the Coronado bridge and find a bar south of the main gate to the US Naval base. All those Sailors  :-*

I can agree with most of your list but I'm not having it that Slade were anything but as straight as a die!  ::) ;D ;D

So you don't want to win any money then?

I reckon there is value in Poland and Switzerland, and Ukraine will probably be top 3 too. Sweden and Finland seem to be the bookies favorites, but I'm not sure about either. UK should be on the left half of the scoreboard, but I haven't been impressed when she's sung the song live so she'll need to up her game to get into the top 5.

Sweden very good

Another thing Britain excels at: staging a spectacle.

I will watch it on your behalf’s and report back.

That Amazon towering over the other two presenters was a sight to behold.

There is also a special surprise. Lionel Richee? Elton John? Abba?

Well I didn't see any of the lefty hate mob complaining about the lack of diversity at Eurovision or anyone saying it was 'terribly white'?  ::)

I also didn't see any of the lefty hate mob complaining about taxpayers money being spent of such a jamboree or demanding to know who funded it!  :-X  As it happens it cost about £11-12 million to put on and was funded mostly by the UK Govt, BBC and Liverpool City Council along with entry fees from the participating countries. Of course it would have generated significant revenues in Liverpool during the week which I'm sure that the hospitality industry were grateful of.  Just like the Coronation really...  ;)

I think I've got a crush on Hannah Waddingham. She looks like the sort of gal that would chew you up and spit you out!  :-*  ;D  :y
