I can't wait for this year's show, hope it will be more memorable than last year. March 1st is when we pick our entry. May 24th is the contest itself.

[Zoot]

Do we know if Bill Bailey is competing yet?

I can't wait for this year's show

Your life must be one big rollercoaster ride.

[S4B]

HEY!! We had fun last time, well I did.

[MK Chris]

Well you should provide entertainment to beat Eurovision then.

[Zenon]

Ireland have just announced their participants for their selection show which involves one puppet!

[Yudster]

As opposed to the numerous ones who have done it in the past?

[Zenon]

The participants for our selection show have been announced, they are

Soloists:

Michelle - Woo (You got me)
Andy Abraham - Even if

Girl Groups:

Loveshy - Mr Gorgeous
The Revelations - It's You

Josephs Vs Maria:

Rob McVeigh - I owe it all to you
Simona Armstrong - Changes

Will not be supporting any of them, I don't think.

[Yudster]

Bill Bailey???? Bill Bailey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[S4B]

Seconded Yuds!! Zoot you promised me Bill Bailey!

[Zenon]

Anyone been watching the selection show on BBC One tonight, despite my initial thoughts I've decided to vote after all, I'm voting for both Simone and Andy Abraham as I'm unsure about who the best is.

[Zoot]

I read somewhere that the contest clashes with Bill Bailey's live stand up shows so he can't do it.

[TIAL]

In his tour programme Bill Bailey said that he was doing a tour in Australia, so was unable to compete for Eurovision.

[Sunny So Cal]

The whole thing reminds me of a Father Ted episode

[Yudster]

Either the Michelle Gayle song or the Andy Abrahams would have been ok - I really like the Andy Abrahams song, I really do - but I'd have been happy to see Michelle Gayle's win it otherwise. If either of those songs were being entered by anyone other than UK, they would win!

[Bruvva]

I'm quite looking forward to this year's contest. I work with Serbians and they were so proud of winning it last time, they didn't take kindly to my pointing out all of the Balkan block voting.

[Yudster]

Pointing it out???!!! They needed to have it pointed out???????

[Zenon]

Just a week tonight until the contest takes place, I can't believe it's this close. I was originally going to go for the Czech Republic to win but now have to reconsider because they're 500/1 to win. As long as it's not Ireland, Spain or Russia who win then I'll be happy.

Your life intrigues me.

[DevilsDuck]

How cynical!

I dont think anyones a winner when it comes to eurovision

[Console]

I'm quite annoyed that they're taking Doctor Who off this week to put this shit on - isn't it more of a BBC3 programme?

[Vivienne]

Console swore!! Console swore! Oh no. What is Society coming to.

[Console]

I was emphasising how annoyed I was, which I seem to have achieved.

More irritating is the fact that Eurovision doesn't start until 8 by which time Dr Who would have finished anway so the two shows wouldn't have clashed.
