DRUNKEN REWATCH: Harrogate 1982 (12.00am Thursday 8th April)

[lolly]

WHEN DOES IT FUCKING START

Let them wind up the scoreboard, will you?

This attempt to make Eurovision Harrogate look like a beacon of glamour as everyone steps out of their FORD CORTINA ain't half making me chuckle.

 

[Madíson]

France boycotted this one for some reason. I want to say, bad music?

"The absence of talent and the mediocrity of the songs were annoyance set in. [Eurovision is] a monument to inanity." French man

 

[ButterTart]

AND everyone tonight at Eurovision 1982

Awful wasn't it? Every act electrocuted by faulty under-stage wiring. The fact that they not only televised it but accidentally inserted clips of the audience cheering was a real low point in the career of Jan Leeming.

 

[GinAg (39)]

France boycotted this one for some reason. I want to say, bad music?

'Mediocrity' apparently. I assume Italy just had no money or something.

 

[Penelope]

Jan Leeming DEAD

(of CANCER )

 

[Lucille]

When did English people stop speaking like this?!?

 

[Soldi]

I know someone that was SICK on that stage, blame it on BARDO.

 

[Suomi]

France boycotted this one for some reason. I want to say, bad music?

Yes

In November 1981, France's national broadcaster, TF1, declined to enter the Eurovision Song Contest for 1982, with the head of entertainment, Pierre Bouteiller, saying, "The absence of talent and the mediocrity of the songs were annoyance set in. [Eurovision is] a monument to inanity [sometimes translated as "drivel"]."[1] Antenne 2 became the new broadcaster for Eurovision after public outcry, returning the country to the Contest in 1983.

Someone failed her french O LEVEL.

 

[Penelope]

Tell me she outlived Wogan.

She died last week.

 

[Lucille]

She died last week.

YAY!

 

[lolly]

I BELIEVED THAT ABOUT POOR JAN AT FIRST

 

[GinAg (39)]

I know someone that was SICK on that stage, blame it on BARDO.

I know someone who had anal in the Brighton Dome.

Olivia Newton John

 

[win_the_game]

She died last week.

Bitch! She's still breathing.

 

[ButterTart]

"What frock are you wearing, Jan?"
"Bring me a selection of absolute shithouses and I'll pick the worst."

 

[Madíson]

I'm taking Portugal performing first as a sign that I need to go to bed.

Good luck to all participating countries (except Portugal).

 

[GinAg (39)]

Jan Leeming DEAD

(of CANCER )

Bum cancer, more's the shame.

 

[Lucille]

Oooooh the orchestra though.

 

[ButterTart]

Bitch! She's still breathing.

Which is what I tried to tell them throughout the cremation.

 

[lolly]

The HAIR on Portugal

 

[lolly]

The OUTFITS

 

[Lucille]

[Penelope]

OMG this Portuguese one BANGS HARDER THAN 9/11!

 

[Soldi]

Only beaten by QUERO SER TUA

 

[ButterTart]

I know someone who had anal in the Brighton Dome.

Olivia Newton John

Unsurprising. This is a woman who spent a lot of her youth in the company of Cliff Richard and John Travolta, I shouldn't imagine she even knows what her clout is FOR.

 

[lolly]

I can't believed I watched this at the time but it took me over a decade to suck my first cock

 

[Tisch]

I'm watching a man in a swetaher vest. Is this right? Please answer fast!
