I for one can’t wait for a flurry of 26 minute YouTube videos wildly speculating on everything from what will happen at the EBU general assembly, all the way to what coffee they’ll serve at the pre-discussion break #eurovision

Meanwhile in Spain (and courtesy of ESCtoday), I bet the Yugoslav ‘89 entry wasn’t rude to a TVE exec producer

Amazing to see two sides of the human psyche last night, a former winner now bitter and bored and a former non-qualifier being relentlessly chirpy.

Or maybe one grows into the other eventually

The worst thing is she tricked us into applauding terrible ideas

“You know; they should bring back live backing singers, and bring back the live band!”

*crowd applauses*

Mid applause “and stop sending men in dresses!”

*applause dies and we all feel cheated*

I mean what the fuck was that? That was deeply unpleasant

Sandra has just tapped her microphone against her own leg whilst other people were talking, she’s like a bored child

Lads if you aren’t at Eurobash, I reckon Sandra Kim is about 10 minutes away from saying something terrible

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

It’s telling the Fiona Bruce has said “no one knows about the Welsh reform bribery story” is a testament to media’s lack of coverage #questiontime
