Oh my god, I'm learning so much about Unlucky Fried Chicken tonight!
![]() Last year I had a horrible moral dilemma when a colleague from work was getting married Eurovision day ... I spun some tale about meeting friends from the internet (ie: you lot!) in a hotel in Liverpool where we'd book a conference room with a 50" telly to watch it together, but sort of came clean in the end (I'm the worlds worst liar!) I ended up going to the churchy bit, but not going to the evening reception - she was pissed off about it, but I couldn't care less ![]() This year, another colleague is getting married - it's in the middle of June so I thought I was sorted, but when do you think she's organised the hen night for? Non-Eurovision fans just don't get it, do they? In 2006, my best friend had her 18th birthday party on the night of the final. I said I wasn't gonna go, all hell broke loose and I relented. But the day before I phoned her and explained that I just couldn't not watch Eurovision. She was okay about it, but needless to say, we aren't best friends nowadays.... |

God Anne, I'd completely forgotten about that drama from last year. And I can't believe you're re-living it again this year!

Friends just don't *get* it do they? Pre 2005 I would have begrudgingly gone to this sort of thing, but due to you lot making me such a geek, there's no chance now! |

forget conference rooms with 50" TV's you can actually book cinema screens for private viewings, you need alcohol to watch eurovision though don't think many cinemas have licenses though.

I'm pro-DS meet-up, but definitely not at Eurovision. The stakes are high on Eurovision night, and if the meet-up was a disaster, not only have we ruined DS, but also an entire Eurovision.

I loved that movie!
It might be nearly 20 years ago, but it's as shocking today as it was back then. Being a big Barrichello fan, I had a horrible start to that weekend in Imola anyway, little did I know how much worse it was going to get

![]() I would want to talk incessantly to each and every one of you, and when Eurovision proper is on, I sit in silence rocking back and forth like a Section 135.... |

Loved it too - howled with laughter when Prost was trying to chat up (very gay) Selina Scott, and howled with tears again at Senna's untimely death

I just realised I haven't posted in here yet! I'm such an antisocial bugger.
![]() I'd definitely be up for a DS meet, on the one condition that we have a eurovision-themed Stars In Their Eyes competition. I'm dying to see Anne Gronvall.

While I think about it, do you think Bahrain's going to go ahead this weekend? A Force India hire car was involved in a fire bomb incident this week, and there's threats all over the place
Personally, I'd pack my bag and head to the hills if I were them Looking forward to the new American Street race soon

My Eurovision schedule is in the shitter. I have an exam the day after SF1 and now my best friend is having a party on the evening of the final. ARGH.
![]() I'm sure I was dragged out to a friend of a friend's birthday party on the night of the 2008 final, but luckily at that point I'd been setting the video (cos I'm old school, and I had one in my own room) since 2004. All I remember thinking during the night out was "actually, I'm not really bothered who does win, just as long as it's not Russia" On that note, I still do have every broadcast (barring 2004 semi) from 2004-2010 recorded on videos somewhere in a box in the spare room! Just nothing to play them on any more! If I can ever figure out a way to hook a VCR up to my computer recording equipment I'd be a rather happy chappy. After all, I managed to get all the equipment working last year so that I could record them off the TV straight to computer last year so I'll always have video files of them. Hence why I was able to do the likes of these a day or two after ![]() http://www.youtube.com/user/mouldyvision |

Just tried to make a quiche with disastrous results, as I was about to put it in the oven the crust split in half and the mixture went everywhere. If I come across anyone who happens to work at Sainsbury's today then I will well and truly punch them. :sleep:
