Yes, you've heard of Wigan v Saints, England v Germany, Lions v Kangaroos

Now, not only will Engelbert represent the UK in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, but he'll be going head to had with Jedward for Ireland!

Turning the much-maligned but strangely compelling event into a must-watch, who's your money on?

Apologies for a new thread, but not only is the news earth-shattering, it's clearly not music so can't go in the music thread :)

Looks like we finally get the point about Eurovision. :)

Not even if they performed naked.

OK, maybe if they performed naked.

At least we won't have to spend energy hoping for a UK win.
I can't remember a 75 year old bloke winning a recent Eurovision, so let's play it for laughs.

What should we dress him in?
Shall we have him dancing as well?
Shall we have grannies on zimmers as his backing group?
Will he come on stage on a mobility scooter?
Will he be a 'bad ass'?
I can't wait!

He can't do a lot worse than our recent efforts.

However, here he is below predicting his final score.

On second thoughts ... he's playing invisible darts.






War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Exactly!

At long last the penny has dropped, and we should enter into the spirit of it with with a newfound confidence.

For next year, can we have Freddy Starr resplendent in an Elvis costume, belting out "Rule Britannia" before leaping wild eyed off the stage to dry hump the leg of some random large blonde lady foolish enough to sit in the front row?

Britain at its best, and Johnny Foreigner back in the box!

Yes, we are certainly finally playing them at their own game. And as a bonus, Hump can certainly sing, plus he specialises in the sort of schmaltzy ballads with big heartstring choruses that go down well with Euro audiences. Plus he's well known around the world, especially by tanning product manufacturers and hairdressers so has a big core support.

We should have entered Paul McCartney that year he did the Frog Chorus.

Has Ireland ever scored nul points?

Dunno, but bloody Jedward got 119 last year, finishing in 8th place overall.
