Eurovision 2019

Can we ask that the points deduction is carried over to next season?

The UK's last-placed Eurovision Song Contest entry has had its score lowered by five points, organisers say.

11 points is still 11 points too many. We were easily the worst performance. So bland, so uninspired, a big wad of beige. They should try doing something fun and tongue in cheek one year for the sheer fuck of it.

I don't care one jot about the UK entry, it deserved to place near the bottom, but is nobody going to question the notion of an "aggregate score based on similar countries voting history"? That seems an extremely dubious way of doing it, just nix the Belarus jury vote and leave it at that. Imagine if this had changed the outcome of the winner which, let's face it, is the only positioning that matters in this contest.

Just get Lewis Capaldi pished and send him over with a few elastic bands and a stompbox. We'll smash it.

I ended up heading to a friend's party and got drunk as balls, so I stopped posting. Unsurprisingly, I loved Iceland's act. Thought Australia would win, or maybe Sweden, but I have no idea how Netherlands won. Just goes to show Europe has weird tastes. The UK entry was dire, it was probably the most boring act of all. Shame.
