How I intend to survive Eurovision night

Posted on 27. May, 2010 by Rob Watson in News

I’ve spent the best part of the last 10 years despising the Eurovision song contest. Yet like the good husband I am, I try my best not to spoil it for my wife.

This year I’ve decided to take a different approach. I’m going to welcome Eurovision with open arms, and savour every last minute of it.

But since there is clearly no chance the UK will win, I’ve decided to do what any logical person would do.

I’m going throw my support behind 5 different countries.

But which to choose.

Since this is Eurovision, I’m going to throw logic out of the window and go with what ever feels right.

In the spirit of Eurovision Koo and I have decided to abandon dignity and logic and have made ourselves some lame flags to wave around in support of our newly adopted nationalities. Read on for my excellent reasons for supporting these countries!

I hated learning French at school, so now i’m going to take a little step to build that bridge.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, so great they have 2 names! Plus their flag has stars. Perfect.

I wanted to draw a flag that had some black. Ahh, Belgium will do nicely.

Koo caught the Greek song during the 1st semi final and spend the rest of the night shouting “Hopa!”. It’s gotta be a contender.

Koo started out drawing the Malta flag, but it went wrong and she ended up supporting Turkey. True story.

At this point the 2nd semi final has yet to finish, so we’re not sure exactly who else will be getting our support and to be honest I really don’t mind. We’ve got our flags, a song in our heart and plenty of alcohol.

If anyone else has any great idea for getting into the Eurovision spirit, please share them here.
