Aaah!!
Don't deprive me of an evening's hilarious entertainment!
There's plenty of highbrow, serious offerings on our state television network but this is a whole evening of terrible music; national embarrassment for all concerned; much discussion regarding who votes for whom; family bickering regarding the merits or otherwise of each act; texts galore with friends here and in Europe; comments from Graham Norton (not in a slightly pickled Woganesque way but still funny) and of course, bragging rights for anyone picking the winner.
There's plenty on the box that's a lot less entertaining than this annual festival of silliness.
Plus, anything so trivial, pointless and farcical that really cheeses off so many people can't be all bad, especially given the fact that so many take it seriously!
Long live Eurovision - grab a bottle (or two) of wine and party on dude!
