This might be farfetched, but do we think Ireland could've picked up some extra points tonight due to all the international coverage the referendum is getting? A proud day to be Irish nonetheless.
Just got in, my buffet shopping all done for tonight. Got the family coming over as per. Just running through a few simulators on ESC Nation to kill an hour or so. Just on 2010, so much better without dynamic voting haha!
Hope you all enjoy your Eurovision evening. Much love guys!
My mission before 8 tonight is forcing my dad to watch it! Eurovision was my mother's and myself's annual 'thing'. First year without her I need to drag my Chines father to get into it!
I forgot I have a safety buffer on my phone contract so I only have two or three votes left for tonight, tempted to vote for Italy and Belgium as I haven't seen their 'thank you or voting' videos yet.

Sorry to hear that Nigel, I'm sure she'll be watching it with you from up above. xx :kitty:

When you consider that same-sex relations were illegal until 1993 it's amazing how far Ireland has come. I salute the Irish.
Was in Morrisons earlier, (their usual obsession is I Can), but today they decided to blast out Only Teardrops.
Turns out my aunt has been a closet, casual ESC fan all along. I know she recognised SILWY in my car the other day, but today when driving home with her and my mum from shopping I made a point of saying, my head's spinning with all this funeral and paperwork talk so anything you need me for today, do it before 8pm! Why 8pm was the reply - because I'll be watching the Eurovision final so I will not be available after 8pm. Then my aunt pipes up - oh yes, I like watching that!
So this should be interesting listening to her and my mum ranting and raving at the telly all night, (I'll be upstairs watching in peace and quiet!), bearing in mind my mum had a Eurovision flounce because Pastora only came 10th in 2012 and hasn't watched since! :eek: Listening to my cd in the car - my aunt is a fan of ours and Polina, and my mum's favourites are Edurne and Polina!
I spoke to my dad earlier and it turns out he also watched the BBC4 doc. His favourite was Italy 1964, probably because its one of the few he's listened to outside of the Eurovision context.
It also turns out my mother is stanning for Israel.

there's a very long wait before the first song.. but i think he will enjoy it, since he will have very good company and most of the songs are ballads

Loving the Polina love in your family!
I've almost resigned myself to thinking that Sweden will win, but I hope I'm wrong.
I hope they mention the massive yes vote for SSM in Ireland today at the final tonight -
it is very historic and believe me when I say Dublin is a mass of rainbow & Eurovisiony colour today and tonight

I was thinking the same thing actaully although now I wonder if Bojana will get them instead.

I hope I don't start dozing off tonight like I did during the jury rehearsal - I fear the second half is going to be laboured!

thanks
and in that year (or just after) they only legalised divorce by 9,000 votes

But. Wow! I love it! I get this old, feisty, lovely, British feeling, Agatha Christie, tea, cake and fun. Very good, and a song to be proud of.
I also liked Molly last year, but this is even better.
there's a very long wait before the first song.. but i think he will enjoy it, since he will have very good company and most of the songs are ballads
when i played her this version she still recognised it.. made her laugh..
