I hesitate to ask but...

[WelshBloke]

Anyone getting Eurovision ready?

I have fancy snacks (sushi, pissaladiere, arancini, etc) (admittedly I haven't made these yet!). A mahoosive fruit salad, chocolate brownies. A couple of bottles of fancy champagne and some nice pot!

GO SWEDEN! GO FINLAND!

(I should have done some pickled shark or fermented crow! Is that Finland? Maybe Iceland?)

My favourite out of context eurovision photo so far....

 

[lxskllr]

Not a fan of popular music, don't have tv, and I'm not a fan of adtastic 'televised events'. For the shark, you're thinking of hákarl from Iceland. It's probably illegal everywhere else in the first world :^D Fermented crow?!?!

 

[biostud]

Nope, we are getting ready to have our house invaded by 11 8-years old boys tomorrow, as my eldest daughter could invite either the girls or boys and decided to invite the boys.

Im not sure I'd describe most of the Eurovision songs as "popular music" tbh! 🤣
I like that its utterly chaos musically? You can have some Swedes singing and Saunas or a Finnish lass shouting "ICH KOMME" in some arseless chaps whilst riding a massive ejaculating mike stand!

Im sure there's crows stuffed in a seal carcass and left to ferment as a"food" somewhere vikings used to live. Probably why they spent most of their time invading other countries!

MOVE EVERYTHING BREAKABLE!

MOVE EVERYTHING BREAKABLE!

We plan to be mostly outside and have treasure hunt, that magically will end a a playground close by.

Also we have had small children for the last 8 years, we own nothing of value that can be broken...

Well, you made it sound interesting :^D I'd give it a try at least.

Yeah, it is more of a show than music value.

You'll need drugs and alcohol at the least!

AND ITS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!

Worked for the Brits, heh.

Made me think of that get together those Icelanders do every year, where they break out "the old food" and get drunk.

The horror...the horror...

 

[WelshBloke]

Oh! Disclaimer for @lxskllr it is 4 hours long so maybe break yourself in gently!

 

[waffleironhead]

My former BIL from iceland tried to get us to watch eurovision one year. I had no idea what was going on, which to be fair is not much different from the rest of my life.

 

[skyking]

ok I'm in.

 

[WelshBloke]

Grazing station is go!

 

[IronWing]

Europe during Eurovision

 

[BoomerD]

Is Eurovision like the BBC for Europe?

 

[brianmanahan]

someone better be playing moskau by dschinghis khan

 

[biostud]

Just checking in: We've survived having 10 8-years boys invading our home.

Everything went really well.

 

[KLin]

Here's my input on the subject...

 

[sdifox]

I would rather watch human Tetris

How many kids made it out of your house, alive?

 

[igor_kavinski]

as my eldest daughter could invite either the girls or boys and decided to invite the boys.

Weird. Why not both? Afraid there would be kissy kissy action going on?

1st rule: You do not talk about Birthday Club

 

[biostud]

No, you can go with both or either, but we told her we couldn't manage a whole class, so she decided with the boys.
