Eurovision 2024: Malmö Arena

ZAGREB 2025

 

[Lucille]

The fact they can’t smell how stinky a turd Belgium is yet. When the odour finally hits it’ll leave them catatonic.

 

[Kratz]

I haven’t been to Croatia. Is there a slutty part?

 

[Lucille]

Love to see Spain in 9th, I’m not sure why everyone is PREDICTING CATASTROPHE when so many people are (rightly) declaring it the greatest song ever made!

 

[GNL]

I haven’t been to Croatia. Is there a slutty part?

It has a lot of beaches. One of them must be gay.

 

[Lucille]

I don’t rate Baby Lasagna despite the EXCITING FASHIONS but Croatia would be a fabulous Eurovision location.

 

[Soldi]

It’d be interesting to see if they go for the runner-up again if Ukraine wins.

Valletta is ready

 

[Lucille]

Speaking of FANTASY EUROVISION locations I’d love a Eurovision in a (post-war) ODESA.

 

[Soldi]

Next year I’m hoping for somewhere CHEAP and WARM.

 

[Lucille]

BENIDORM!

 

[Soldi]

BENIDORM!

A Eurovision in Benidorm would be APOCALYPTIC

Post-war Odesa:

 

[Lucille]

Post-war Odesa:

Well we’d tidy up at least.

 

[Lucille]

Several of us WOULDN’T MAKE IT!

 

[GNL]

Post-war Odesa:

So slightly nicer than Liverpool and Malmö then

 

[VoR]

[Penelope]

Not the usual suspects again

View attachment 25936

Maybe Luxembourg, but I'd be quite surprised if Spain were.

 

[Penelope]

So slightly nicer than Liverpool and Malmö then

I stayed next to the BOMBED OUT CHURCH in Liverpool so it really would be QUITE SUITABLE

 

[Sheena]

Who IS going to Malmö and should we have a HELLO at some point?

 

[VoR]

Myself. @Soldi and @GNL (plus Mr GNL) have another HOVEL lined up.

I know @Pingu is in town too.

When are you getting in?

 

[Raining on Me]

We are there from the Wednesday until Monday (in a campsite just outside the city as previously said).

Would be nice (if somewhat surreal) to say hello to some of you while we're out and about. I'm not sure how Mr. RoM would feel about a full-on meet but if we're in the city which we plan to be most days and certainly on the Thursday and Saturday evening, and if any moopers are around then of course we'll pop by and say hello.

Arriving on the Tuesday, leaving on the Sunday.

Interestingly, I've just had a conversation with my Swedish friend who is putting us up for some of the time and she said "it all feels a bit flat here. There is no party atmosphere, the worries about the Israel thing are just making everyone worried and the security is so high everywhere it's crazy."

 

[Sheena]

This reminds me, I've also got to offload two semi final tickets I've bought and now don't want as we've got (up the back) standing tickets. Annoyingly, there's LOADS on Ticketmaster cause of their fucking stupid release of about 900 different bloody times and shows.

 

[auretz]

Someone has taken it upon themselves to make a rival version of Eurojury, featuring votes from people like Maria Sur, Litesound, Alex Larke from Electro Velvet (again!), the woman who sang "Woman Show" in Norway and someone who was eliminated in the Moldovan auditions once again Germany stands out as doing very well

Which semi? We're now seeing semi 2 tickets available on viagogo and quite tempted! I feel like it's inevitable we'll bite and try to go to a show now! Semi 1 definitely not on the cards

[Jacques]

Finland 2nd in the semi? Estonia through over Greece and Georgia??? I think that party needs some vetting in future.

 

[Sheena]

Yeah, we have Semi 1 to offload.

We’re going to all the live shows though.

I reckon close to the time you’ll find some half decent deals…there were in Liverpool last year.
