- Alan (Giraffes)
Damn you, foot, why are you tapping?
- Amy
You know, Jeward are bound to come out at some point and start poking people, singing over the top of them and causing a riot. That's all part of their act, just because this is Eurovision they cant NOT do that, right?
- Simon Wicks

I always wondered how foreign people sing and how they rhyme. Like, do they hear the rhyme in their own language
- Alan (Giraffes)
HUGE shift in the harmony from Gangstar to vocals
- sofarsoShawn <Jell-O>
Does the rhyme have to be in English for it to be a rhyme?
- Alan (Giraffes)
Better than we do, I'd hope?
- Amy
or can you rhyme bonjour with ya poo?
- Alan (Giraffes)
im sure they could rhyme their own language
- Simon Wicks
Can they?
- Alan (Giraffes)
But the song is english, for the most part,
- Simon Wicks
Yeah. That must be a problem
- Alan (Giraffes)
No to solely English, many of them are using HEAVILY accented French

So I have a problem. I have a large number of random cigars that I've lost interest in smoking. And I mean random. Most I received in swaps and suchlike years ago. They're not in excellent shape humidity-wise but I don't want to throw them out. I kinda want to send them to folks so they get smoked. Any interest out there?
John (bird whisperer), #cryptic, Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart and 4 other people liked this
Wow that's quite a collection there
- Just Katie
No guarantees I'll send any out. Mostly curious.
- caj
@Katie, they're 3 or 4 deep as well.
- caj
Damn, you would post this after I just made an order to refill my humidor. Any Rocky Patel or Perdomo in there?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Holy cow....that is a collection
- Just Katie
@Alex, nope. A lot of these are before Rocky Patel became a big name. :)
- caj
It looks like you prefer (or did at one time) shorter smokes. Are those Montecristo tubos?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I was a big fan of the robusto size but moved into the corona size later. I never got into the larger ring size, although I do have some.
- caj
Full disclosure: The missus has said I can order new cigars but I feel way guilty for having these around, unsmoked.
- caj
I'd be willing to take a few off your hands, but I don't have room for many, probably less than 10.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Where do you get your cigars from?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
It's been awhile but I've usually ordered from JR Cigar.
- caj
And yeah, I mainly prefer torpedos, pyramids, solomons and figurados myself. From what I've read/heard they are rolled by the more experienced people in a factory and are more likely to be of consistent quality. Not always the case though.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yeah, I know a guy who buys from them, but I'm not a huge fan since they don't sell a lot of singles.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Oh, definitely a fan of the torpedo and pyramid shapes.
- caj
They also don't have a very good selection of Rocky Patels, which are my current fave. I really like the Rocky Patel Decade cigars in particular, but the 1990, 1992 and Sungrown series are really good as well.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I mainly buy from cigar.com these days. Their bundles are hard to beat.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I'll check them out. I still get the JR catalogs so every new one starts the itch back up. :)
- caj
Yeah, I know what you mean.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
This is a very good sampler for the price http://www.cigar.com/cigars... and I ordered this bundle http://www.cigar.com/cigars... last week just for the RP Decades. The other 10 cigars are a bonus. :)
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Thanks, CAJ, now I want a cigar. :)
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Ditto. :)
- caj
You are also making me wish I had a larger humidor.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Is a blue dress required?
- Janet
You don't even need a smoking jacket!
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, this is a $10 Rubbermaid tub with a couple credos in it. The battery on my temp/humidity monitor is dead, though.
- caj
A smoking jacket in Florida? Pass! :)
- caj
@Janet, no dress required. ;)

The Toolbar Buttons add-on for Firefox gives you lots of buttons to do stuff like that, without having to remember keyboard shortcuts. And the "reopen last closed" works on multiple closed pages, letting you access stuff you may have closed quite a few tabs ago. I keep a small block of buttons related to open/close tabs (open, reopen last closed, close all but selected, close all) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US...

In 1986, on Usenet, the "Longest thread ever" post debuted. It was kept going continuously for over eight years. How long, I wonder, could a FriendFeed post be kept going? This is just a place for random posts to go. Think of it as a long slow chat room that will never die. Topics vary.

Why did I eat so many tacos?

What kind of tacos were they, and how many did you have?
- Stephen Mack
Just ground beef tacos, but I spiced them from scratch, not a mix. I had two and some homemade refried beans. I've had a tummy ache for a couple of days, though, so I haven't eaten much other than tea and toast lately. The delicious spicy tacos were a bit shocking to my tum.

I can't decide, do I like it cool and breezy, or hot and sunny? They both actually have their good points. I like the hot weather because it's pool weather. I like it cool and breezy because it's more comfortable at mid-day. I like it when it's hot enough to eat dinner outside, but I don't like it so hot that it's still 80F in my bedroom at midnight.

New topic (4/29, 11:45am): Have you ever broken a limb? If so, when and how?
- Stephen Mack
Yes, my left arm, at age 10, while tight rope walking the parallel bars at the playground behind my grandparents house. I went back and forth 10 times before falling on my arm. AND it was my grandfather's birthday. Also fractured my shoulder blade, not sure that really counts as a limb though. (edit - didn't break the shoulder blade, I must have been having a brain fart moment)
- Rachel Lea Fox
Never broken, but I did chip a chunk of bone off of my elbow, to me that counts!
- Georgia
Georgia, how did you do that?
- Stephen Mack
Gymnastics. I fell forward off of the uneven bars and put my arms out to catch myself. In doing so I dislocated my left elbow, and it chipped the bone when it was relocating itself... OUCH!
- Georgia
eeek, sounds painful. I broke three fingers in my right hand playing basketball in college, but otherwise have not broken any bones.
- Stephen Mack
This lame in comparison. I broke my toe jumping off the top bunk of my bunk bed when I was 7 or so. The bad part was my parents didn't believe me for a couple of days. The worst part, all the doctor did was tape it to the toe next to it and I was fine.
- Dario Gomez
No other limb breakers?
- Stephen Mack
no, sorry
- grant fox
Yeah, sorry, I'm fracture-free, so no good childhood stories here.

Sorry to change subject, but who's watching wolverine this weekend?
- Dario Gomez
I saw it on Sunday. Awful, just awful. I'll write a review for my blog, but I had low expectations that were not met. Bad special effects, bad story, bad acting -- this movie fizzled on every level for me.
- Stephen Mack
So, the question is: Was Wolverine worse than X-Men 3? Now *that* was a bad movie. :)
- Steve and 3 other people
I liked Xmen three.
- Dario Gomez
I didn't think X-Men 3 was very good. But I think Wolverine is far worse. On the 0-100 scale, X-Men 3 I'd give like a 38 or so, and Wolverine a 23.
- Stephen Mack
Wolverine was ok to me. Not great, but entertaining....
- Georgia
so how many people have already lost the summer blockbuster competition?
- Steve and 3 other people
No one yet! It could all go downhill from here...
- Stephen Mack
I already lost. Wolverine will not be rated well. :( Oh well next year. Wolverine was a good action flick with the required elements to try to explain what happened to wolverine. So I agree with Georgia's statement, not great but entertaining.
- Dario Gomez
I'll be seeing Star Trek this weekend with my parents. I have to say, of all the upcoming summer releases, this is the one I'm most looking forward to.
- Stephen Mack
YAY! I want to go this weekend as well!
- Georgia
Was glad to take my parents to see it, definitely enjoyed it a lot. Despite some plot quibbles (and what would a trek movie be without those?), it's an extremely well-made and likable movie with a charismatic cast and plenty of summer popcorn thrills.
- Stephen Mack
Agreed! I'm not a Star Trek person, and I really enjoyed the movie. It's just a good summer action film!
- Georgia
I didn't get a chance to see it:(
- Dario Gomez
I loved it. i hope to see it again, though next weekend i'm going to see wolverine, even though its not supposed to be that good.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Dario, just go see it! Rachel, I really was disappointed in Wolverine, but it has its moments. Set your expectations low -- no, lower -- no, lower than that. A bit lower. Not THAT low! There. Right there.
- Stephen Mack
Wolverine was good. Just think of it as a mindless action flick and it'll be fine.
- Dario Gomez
So who's going to see Angels & Demons this weekend?
- Stephen Mack
I was thinking about it... is it supposed to be good?
- Georgia
I hate this thread and having to click 'more' to open it and then scroll down 10000 lines. Hiding. :(
- Ken Gidley
Georgia, it has 51% positive reviews on RottenTomatoes, so, no, sadly it doesn't look to be very good. Ken, I hear you on that. It is a bit annoying. But for science, I will soldier on to make this the longest thread in FF history (no matter how long it takes).
- Stephen Mack
So, did anyone see Angels & Demons?
- Stephen Mack
Seriously? After the DaVinci Code, why would I? DaVinci was even bad by my "airplane movie" standards, which are pretty low.
- Steve and 3 other people
I thought DaVinci was passable. Tom Hanks is usually watchable, and there was interesting scenery if nothing else. I'm very surprised that Angels & Demons beat Star Trek last weekend (http://www.the-numbers.com/charts..., $46 million to $43 million).
- Stephen Mack
Woah, new Terminator only got 31% on Rotten Tomatoes? (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m...) I knew it'd wouldn't score high, but didn't expect it to be THAT low. I'll see it tonight anyway though...
- Stephen Mack
I'm glad you posted to this. I haven't been able to find. And I will reiterate. Lower expectations makes for better movie experience. (well at least I hope so.)
- Dario Gomez
Why isn't anyone posting to this thread?
- Dario Gomez
Good question! Anyone going to see UP this week? Maybe I should switch topics. Of the summer blockbusters, so far I've seen Wolverine, Star Trek, and Terminator, but not Angels & Demons (3 for 4). I give Star Trek a 4/5, Termination a 3.5/5, and Wolverine a 2/5.
- Stephen Mack
I will hopefully see UP next week, I'm really looking forward to it!
- Georgia
It would be great if this were at the Pruneyard's Diaper Days/Nights. Then I could try to take the kid(s). Check http://www.cameracinemas.com/diaper... Last week was Star Trek.
- Steve and 3 other people
How do you like the Diaper showings? Is it possible to really watch the movie?
- Stephen Mack
It depends on the movie and the crowd. Sometimes it works, and other times not. We went to see Horton Hears a Who there, and it was a bit chaotic, because it caters to kids, so there were lots of toddlers there. It could be said that it's a livingroom experience, (lights on, kids talking) so it's not a huge win over just Netflix, but I think it's good practice for the kids to go to a real theater. You should give it a try and report back. :)
- Steve and 3 other people
Pixar's Up grabs 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, beating Star Trek's 95%! http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m... -- wow, some amazing reviews there. I didn't expect it to score this well with critics. Why do I ever doubt you, Pixar.
- Stephen Mack
Wow! I didn't expect that either! Go UP!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
I better go leave negative feedback so I can still win the contest :)
- Georgia
It only counts well-known critics, Georgia, so you'd have to set up an alternative career and corpus of reviews first!
- Stephen Mack
Has anyone seen up! yet?
- Dario Gomez
Anyone paying attention to this thread?
- Dario Gomez
So glad to see "Up" took #1 for a second weekend in a row, and that "Land of the Lost" was beat out by "The Hangover." Saw Up, last night, it's very very good.
- Stephen Mack
I heard "Land of the Lost" will be the "My Greek Wedding" of 2009....;)
- Roger N
And no.. that last comment has not been influenced by other outside factors such as the "Movie Blockbuster" contest....

OK, wrapping up summer movies (http://www.zeigen.com/blog...). Now it's time for Fall TV (http://www.zeigen.com/blog...). Anyone watch Leno last night? What did you think?
- Stephen Mack
I thought it was interesting. I don't hate him like a lot of people on FF seem to. But I will not be spending much time watching either. The new set is amazing. It did seem to go by quickly, and the 2 chair/no desk setup makes it a lot more intimate...just in time for Leno to ask Kanye about what his dead mom thinks of him interupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, watch Kanye flounder for words, then see him immediately go get gangsta rap on stage. What's not to like?
- Josh Haley
Surprised this thread is still going - maybe it really us the longest thread...
- Rich
Rich, it's not there yet (with only 160 comments) -- some threads here on FF in the last 30 days have almost 1k comments. But I won't let it die, never.
- Stephen Mack
It just needs to be the longest lasting thread right?
- Dario Gomez
Dario, I think we decided at the beginning it had to have the most comments. If it's just oldest-continuously bumped thread, then someone could bump an older thread and snatch victory away from us.
- Stephen Mack
I think Leno was a bore the other night....even with Kanye on it! I think Leno is going to be the bottom of the barrel in TV ratings for the 10pm time slot.

Thank you everyone! =D Debbie is already planning the girly clothes and we're going through our name book tomorrow. We both agree that we want something pretty short. Nothing more than 2 syllables.

All you have to do is take some photos – which you never delete from your camera – so when someone finds your camera at the bottom of the gorilla pit they are able to locate you and return the lost property to its rightful owner. http://www.andrewmcdonald.net.au/a-picto...

I love this.

I like how everything is clear and readable except the email address.
- Alex Scrivener
LOL That's funny, but yeah...what's with the email address being so small?
- Anika
At any rate, I had a video I made with all my info on it. I accidentally took it off my chip, but I'm positive I copied it to my camera. Unfortunately, I don't know how to access my camera's memory and the cord has been lost. One of these days, I'll RTFM. =)
- Anika
that was great.......lol
- VALZ asks LB is sublet?
genius.
- Morgan
I like how the facial expressions match the whiteboard :-)
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
The other pics build empathy, encouraging a border-line thief to return the camera. Otherwise you may as well stick a label on the case and be done with it.
- Alex Scrivener
Does anyone else want to make out with this guy for being SO DAMN AWESOME? Srsly, total panty-dropper this one was.

@tinypants I totally agree!

wow, this is very close to being the most popular thing I have ever posted to Friendfeed. Just goes to show, um, something. Always use pictures?
- Alex Scrivener
Yes, Always use pictures! For one thing, I might sketch your stuff one day! Also yes, it helps your posts stand out.
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Awesome!
- Josh Haley
I'm the opposite. I tend to ignore posts with photos (unless the post itself is just a photo). Why? The image usually detracts from the text and people spend time talking about the picture and making it clear they didn't bother to read the text or link.
- Anika
=/ (not about the original post. I already expressed how much I love it)
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Or you could just put an address sticker on the camera...
- Pixie
No, the pictures try to build an emotional connection with the finder. It helps convince a not-so-honest person to return the camera rather than just keep it. It won't stop a real thief, but it could tip the odds in his favor. A sticker can't do that.
- Alex Scrivener
There should be a place in your camera for email address, like cell phones have "Home" so when you lose it, someone can call you. Hmmmm.
- anna sauce
Brilliant! :D
- Carmen
I wouldn't ever think to go through pics, but if I found a lost cam (or phone or whatever) with an address clearly visible on it, I'd pop it in the mail, or call/email someone, no problem. Same holds true for some lost and found places. They might call you if there's easy contact info, but I don't see them taking the time to flip through photos to figure out how. Maybe do both?
- Pixie
Creative!

What's with the afro for Spain? He's in the wrong century. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Okay, we just had Azerbaijan which is the favourite with the bookies. Average, in my opinion, although she had good shoes according to the missus.
- Mark H
Rochelle, any luck with a BBC stream?
- Kol Tregaskes
Spain clearly don't want to host the event next year.

Flat singing from Norway.

Norway don't want it again either. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol, link to BBC stream?
- Rochelle
Noooooooooooooooo!
- Eivind
The stream on Eurovision.tv appears to be working.
- Rochelle
You don't need the BBC stream - eurovision.tv should be streaming it.
- Mark H
Mark, I know. I wanted to get the BBC stream because Kol said their commentary was better.
- Rochelle
Yes, Graham Norton does a good job of filling Terry Wogan's shoes as the acerbic Irish wit.
- Mark H
Rochelle, OK. Shame you won't get Graham Norton. The BBC hosts are the only reason I watch this. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Eivind could have sung better than him.
- Mark H
Right now, the Eurovision.tv stream is showing Second Semi-Final of the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest. I assume they'll switch over to the live thing in 40 minutes?

1983 called. They want their vision of The Future back.

Rochelle, are you using this link?: http://www.eurovision.tv/esctv
- Kol Tregaskes
Rochelle, it's Moldova right now. The contest has already started.
- Kol Tregaskes
LOL I followed Kol's link and .. RT @charltonbrooker This is like a party scene from Weekend at Bernie's #eurovision :)

Kol, no! I had another link and thought it didn't start for another 35 minutes.
- Rochelle
Charlie Brooker is brilliant!

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS
- Alan (Giraffes)
This is just Every Other Teen Idol Song from Wales/Cyprus. It has no place in Eurovision. Sequins and jumpsuits have a place in Eurovision. But not this.
- Mark H
I don't like this one.
- Rochelle
Awful! I hope they don't play this type of music when my brother get's married next year in Cyprus. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hehe, Rochelle, you'll find that that is the general pattern. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Anyone got the BBC Sing-a-long subtitles up? They are taking up 1/3 of my screen....
- Alan (Giraffes)
How do you do that?
- Kol Tregaskes
Red button?
- Kol Tregaskes
yupp
- Alan (Giraffes)
The last thing I want to do is sing along with these.
- Mark H
then click Eurovision 2010. Mark, its a good laugh to read the english subtitles when they are singing in their native tongue. :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
Wait, you have a "red button" on your TV that makes subtitles come up?
- Rochelle
anyone watching on freesat? we cant get the lyrics via redbutton!!
- Simon Wicks
Ahhh. Belgium is coming up soon! Please tell me on here that Belgium's entry doesnt sound like "Walking in Memphis!"
- Alan (Giraffes)
LETS OVERCOME THE PAST! (INSTRUMENTAL!)
- Alan (Giraffes)
hes not playing that guitar
- Simon Wicks
Rochelle: all our digital platforms carry extra services such as the red button which is being used for subtitles in this programme by the BBC.
- Mark H
Got the subtitles, this'll be a laugh.
- Kol Tregaskes
I don't even know what it is but I want a red button just to say that I have a red button. Haha.
- Rochelle
BBC Interactive has some very cool features, for example you can listen to the childrens channel commentary for the Formula 1 races.
- Kol Tregaskes
Hehem Rochelle.
- Kol Tregaskes
How many contest entries are there?
- Rochelle
Bosnia's probably the best so far which isn't saying much.
- Mark H
Rochelle, on our TV Remote, we just push the Red Button to bring up a whole lot of Interactive features on channels that support it.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Giraffes, so you all have the same remote?
- Rochelle
25 entrants.
- Mark H
There used to be about 40 i remember just a few years ago. The contest used to run past 1am years ago.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Rochelle: no, different remotes for cable or the satellite platforms but they all support red, yellow, green, and blue buttons with extra features.
- Mark H
Ok, Listen to this song! Tell me if you think it sounds like he's ready to burst into "Walking In Memphis!"
- Alan (Giraffes)
We're rating each song, I'm trying to use a different word for each entry. Is there 25 ways to say "rubbish"? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
This Belgium song isn't too bad; quite liked it in the semi.
- Mark H
Simon, I'm n Freesat.
- Kol Tregaskes
and you have the red button? or just subtitles?
- Simon Wicks
WALKING IN MEMPHISS!!!!!!
- Alan (Giraffes)
Yeah thank goodness it's "just" 25. The scores still take an age though.
- Kol Tregaskes
Mark, I hope you're kidding? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
The scores are usually the same every year. Sweden votes for Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and all vice versa :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
if i press the subtitles button, i lose the audio..
- Simon Wicks
'Ohh Ohh'
- Kol Tregaskes
so, thats weird.
- Simon Wicks
Rochelle, the voting is very political normally.
- Kol Tregaskes
Serbia: nooooooo!
- Kol Tregaskes
Jury voting counts for 50% of the vote now to try to even out the political voting / fix the result (*) (* delete as applicable)
- Mark H
Hahahaha. The subtitles are working to the full effect now. Squeeze me, hahaha
- Alan (Giraffes)
Is that supposed to be singing?
- Kol Tregaskes
This Serbian has a huge cult following. Cult.

hey. you listened to turkey's song "we could be the same"?
- Yalçın Erdemir
The lyrics will give you an insight into other cultures you were never meant to see. Discard the subtitles!
- Mark H
What are the two girls on the sides doing?

Get the subtitles on if you can somehow. This is amazing. This is the balkans, this is the balkans, this is the balkans, BELGRADE BELGRADE!

Wait til you hear France. Its bloody amazing. I reckon France will win.

You can use Skype probably to phone it.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Via a website somewhere?
- Kol Tregaskes
aww Ireland
- Charley M
Not a fan of Ireland's entry. I still want them to send in My Lovely Horse one year.
- Mark H
Okay, Ireland just started here.
- Rochelle
Charlie Brooker: "We're like butterflies, flying to the sun". What, putting in a lot of effort to no avail?
- Kol Tregaskes
via phone or website
- Samir Kerimov
Mark, are you saying you're a fan of anyone? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Heh. I wonder, if the US sent someone to the contest, who would they send?
- Rochelle
CB again: 'Literally everyone in this contest has hair like a Final Fantasy character'

- Kol Tregaskes
Anthemic power ballads are so fecking dull.
- Mark H
I'm not sure how long I'll be able to watch this. It's really lagged, buffering, and chopped.
- Rochelle
a talk-show host okan bayulgen from turkey says that eurovision is a song contest for gays. is it? :) (of course except turkey :)

Rochelle, I'll give it that. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I still feel ill listening to it. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I wondered, how do you get tickets to see it live?!
- Charley M
This is the best song so far. Only slightly terrible. :-)

It's a whiny song, noo!!
- Kol Tregaskes
He's actually in tune....wow
- Charley M
Is this a popular group in the UK?

Akiva can't stand Eurovision. And yet there are still people who say the Eurovision does no good.
- Mark H
Hehe, Rochelle. Don't worry everyone can't stand it. We all work it for the laugh-factor. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
this is terrible
- Simon Wicks
Rochelle: no. He's a nobody who won a "talent" contest on TV.
- Mark H
Rochelle, never heard of him.
- Kol Tregaskes
m ashamed to live in th uk
- Simon Wicks
I told him we're watching it for comedy!

- Rochelle
Where did the UK come last year.
- Kol Tregaskes
Rochelle, that's our Graham Norton.
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh, he's on now.
- Rochelle
We finished quite well last year because of the 50% jury vote pushing us higher. 5th I think?
- Mark H
Hahaha. Graham Norton is a legend. He's basically said this was recorded yesterday this little interview. hahaha
- Alan (Giraffes)
He was not told they were going to come an chat to him, hehe.
- Kol Tregaskes
We get some Graham Norton show on BBC America but I've never watched it.
- Rochelle
It's quite racy I would think, Rochelle.
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh, it's "The Graham Norton Show" that's on here.
- Rochelle
This Georgia song sounds like something from a Disney movie.

- Rochelle
Ukraine: I liked this in the semi. A bit quirky.
- Mark H
Is this girl wearing anything?
- Alan (Giraffes)
What's J-Pop? I'm completely out of the loop with this "pop" music thing.
- Kol Tregaskes
All she needs a pentagram and some goat ;)
- Alemsah Ozturk
J-Pop = Japanese Pop.
- Mark H
Kol, Japanese pop music.
- Rochelle
Nice hood.
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh right.
- Kol Tregaskes
It all sounds just like Iceland's song, except in Japanese.
- Rochelle
Sweet People? The band or the song?

Bring back the volcano, please je ne sais pas!!
- Citronella

The hood is off.

Big build up.
- Kol Tregaskes
her voice is strong
- Alemsah Ozturk
She's a good singer.
- Rochelle
They've turned the fan on.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yeah, I still like this one.
- Mark H
she's like a blonde evanescence...
- Alemsah Ozturk

@charley those are backvocals :)
- Yalçın Erdemir
I was joking, Mark. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
i think my eyeballs are being slow
- Charley M
Hehe, Charley.
- Kol Tregaskes
Charlie Brooker: 'Is that a piano centipede? '
- Kol Tregaskes
Catchy enough; could do quite well.
- Mark H
that note was epic
- Charley M
No, no, no.
- Kol Tregaskes
@Mark probably in first 5
- Alemsah Ozturk
Russia: this entry is awful.
- Mark H
How do they get them off the stage and the next group set up so fast?
- Rochelle
There are multiple stages?

Erik something.
- Eivind
oslo
- Yalçın Erdemir
Cleavage alert!

Even the rhythm of the song is sexy. Well played...
- Umut Gultekin
a little bit angelina jolie, can we say, guys ?
- Alemsah Ozturk
Folk-influences typically do well at Eurovision. Not sure about giant apricot props.
- Mark H
WTF is apricot props?
- Rochelle
LOL!
- Kol Tregaskes
Apricot stones hidden in my head?

Someone has opened the door again.

Feels kinda like previous year with this song....
- Umut Gultekin
she reminds me of Paloma Faith
- Charley M
Love the german song
- Citronella
Charley, yeah sort of.
- Kol Tregaskes
but the stage design and performance is weak and these are important things.
- Alemsah Ozturk
although her accent is very strange
- Charley M
I've actually heard this song before. That's a first tonight.
- Eivind
The plain black dress was a poor choice. Needs more glitter and bling.
- Rochelle
Charley, yeah what is that about?
- Kol Tregaskes
She misses a violin.
- Umut Gultekin
is almost cockney!
- Charley M
Isn't this Australian accent? I am almost sure...
- Umut Gultekin
I don't like.

It was almost Bjork-like English.

Another Disney song.

German Chick : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Alemsah Ozturk
They're free to choose which language to sing in?
- Eivind
This is awful.
- Kol Tregaskes
Eivind, yep.
- Kol Tregaskes
The singer can be from any country too but I think the writer needs to be from that country. I'm sure our resident Eurovision expert will tell us. Mark, over to you. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
No idea.
- Mark H
The Israeli song has a lot of support but I thought it was dreadful in the semi. See if it's any better now...
- Mark H
So far so bad.
- Kol Tregaskes
Boooooooooring.
- Rochelle
You said it.
- Mark H
Please no more Disney songs
- Alemsah Ozturk
Help, someone please stop it!
- Kol Tregaskes

This reminds me of another song.
- Kol Tregaskes
back to the future, 80s.

Spain gets to go again because someone got on stage during their performance.
- Mark H
spain not good
- alper kenet

- Alemsah Ozturk
I'm confused why #2 is on again.
- Rochelle
Stage invasion, Rochelle.
- Kol Tregaskes
Ohh, okay.
- Rochelle
Though I have no idea why they need to play again.
- Kol Tregaskes
It's all part of the enjoyable torture.
- Mark H
Hehe, who doesn't belong in this picture: http://gfx.dagbladet.no/labrado... (hard to say, actually)

the nightmare before christmas

- Charley M
ALL OF THEM!
- Eivind
It's turned into a cook show.
- Kol Tregaskes
Americans cannot vote!
- Rochelle
Charley, yes.
- Kol Tregaskes
Rochelle: you can paypal one of us some money and we'll vote on your behalf. Honest.
- Mark H
Yes you can.
- Umut Gökbayrak
Mark, nah, that's okay. :)
- Rochelle
LOL, Mark.
- Kol Tregaskes
Azerbaijan's girl looked like Hannah Montana.

- Kol Tregaskes
Backstage. They're interviewing the drunk German girl.
- Rochelle
LOL, Giraffe.
- Kol Tregaskes
OK. Yeah we're getting that too. Parts of Europe are supposed to be getting adverts.
- Kol Tregaskes
I know we're used to the disappointment, but why do the UK plough so much money into this show when we do so bad? Shouldnt we sit back and just attempt to get through the semi's. Maybe we'd care more about our song?
- Alan (Giraffes)
Belgium is doing that well? I'm shocked. That guitar guy was awful.
- Rochelle
bulgaria's 10 point's for turkey.

Giraffe, really? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Germany got this one in the bag surely now.
- Kol Tregaskes
LOL, Graham Norton.

switzerland's 3 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Because the song was shit.
- Mark H
Ireland get 6!
- Kol Tregaskes
noooooooooooooooo
- Simon Wicks
why the russia beating?
- Charley M
I reckon Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland all submit their own entries, and we all vote for each other?
- Alan (Giraffes)
That Russian song was awful.
- Rochelle
We're second from bottom.
- Kol Tregaskes
And probably because their neighbors Belarus gave them 12
- Nils Sandin
Giraffe, good plan.
- Kol Tregaskes
belgium's 6 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Russia booing because of the constant yearly abuse from them. They always commanded votes from their neighbours, and the voting always failed. You had Georgia and such always giving them full points in fear of political stances.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Scott Mills!!
- Kol Tregaskes
Looking very orange today.

- Alan (Giraffes)
macedonia's 10 point's for turkey.

- Alan (Giraffes)
Please help us Armenia.
- Kol Tregaskes
armenia hate us. its 0 point's of course for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
not wanting to bring the convo down, but since we went to War in Iraq, the UK has struggled big time.
- Alan (Giraffes)
There we go, last again!
- Kol Tregaskes
and ill leave it at that! :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
Well at least you got second. :-)

Well, nice theory Giraffes but then how do you explain last year's result?
- Mark H
great result
- alper kenet
yeah man :D
- Yalçın Erdemir
It was a fluke. Andrew Lloyd-Webber payed Europe off... and we still didn't win. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Mark, It was because Webber payed them off.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Yes. See, Kol knows!!!
- Alan (Giraffes)
And we're no cynical. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Congrats, UK! :)
- Eivind
LOL, Giraffe.
- Kol Tregaskes
:)
- Citronella
Hehe, Eivind.
- Kol Tregaskes
Where did Greece come?
- Kol Tregaskes
Are they going to let the drunk German girl speak?
- Rochelle
Germany are probably the only country who can afford to hold them next year. The UK just announced 6billion pound cuts. I doubt the ConDems would allow us to spend £30million hosting it! Haha.
- Alan (Giraffes)
8th, Kol!
- Citronella
why lena is so confused? :D
- Yalçın Erdemir
Not too bad, Greece was one of my favourites.
- Kol Tregaskes
heh... UK bottom of the pile. When are we gonna just stop with the crap songs and get someone like Radiohead or Muse to perform?
- alphaxion
Radiohead on Eurovision would be amazing! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@ alphaxion. No, what we need is Alphabeat
- Alan (Giraffes)
Im gonna start a petition for "My Lovely Horse" to be UK Entry next year.
- Alan (Giraffes)
She is completely drunk! This song is going to be fun. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
The Fall on Eurovision? I think getting Mark E Smith to be on there would really represent our approach to the show ;)
- alphaxion
The drunk satellite :)
- Citronella
Is she really going to sing again? While that drunk?
- Rochelle
Yep, could be interesting.
- Kol Tregaskes
Wow!
- Rochelle
ficken drunk woman wins that gay contest :)

Germany Song - http://open.spotify.com/track...
- Alan (Giraffes)
Oh thanks for that, Giraffe. :-) Added immediately. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hahahaha. :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
It is a really catchy song.
- Rochelle
The track is not available in Norway. WTF?
- Eivind
she has an odd voice.. a random irish accent pops into the mix :S
- alphaxion
Should we let the Americans join in next year? Considering Israel takes part as does half the middle east. I dont see it being a problem.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Alpha, it's a right mixture.
- Kol Tregaskes
She just went cockney again.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yay! The end.
- Rochelle
I need a lie down.
- Kol Tregaskes
heh... I guess getting the US into the competition would put someone more hated into the mix than we Brits!
- alphaxion
We should just send The Proclaimers next year.
- Alan (Giraffes)
if she sang in German the accent would be right!
- Charley M
same time next year then yeah?
- Simon Wicks
Only 5 minutes late this year.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yep.
- Kol Tregaskes
Bitte sehr!
- Eivind
Well, considering last years competition was 1 year and 2 weeks ago. God knows when it will be!
- Alan (Giraffes)
lol!it was fun :D
- Citronella
Fun wasn't the word that came to mind. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Channel 4 now for Lee Evans :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
The important thing is: I won money off the bookmakers. Sky Comedy for me now; Starsky And Hutch movie will finish the evening off nicely.
- Mark H
822 comments now :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
I forgot about Lee Evans. See the show before, very, very funny.
- Kol Tregaskes
Well done, Mark. At least someone in the UK has won.
- Kol Tregaskes
This thread is what should be used as "Reasons to still use Friendfeed" :)
- Alan (Giraffes)

- Kol Tregaskes
Agree
- Nils Sandin
This thread helped me live through it tonight. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Let's keep going. We're quite close to A THOUSAND comments!
- Eivind
I jinxed it. Damn!
- Eivind
Just checked there. Theres nothing standing in the way for Scotland to enter the Eurovision by themselves. STV have the rights to enter a Scottish Entry.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Typical Fecking Germans. Look at how they celebrate!!! - http://twitpic.com/1s9e9x
- Alan (Giraffes)
Hey, that's just a screen-grab as he was waving to the crowd!
- Nils Sandin
LOL
- Eivind
Amy, yeah, these are always good each year. No exception last night, was quite a laugh. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
