Eurovision Rewatch: Dublin 1988 (13/06, 20:00 BST)

[dmlaw]

I'd do a 1977 sometime but it won't be tonight.

 

[Tisch]

This is like a poppers bottle full of the souk.

 

[COB]

The middle one looks a bit like the man my mum lives with in Marmaris

45 Iceland

Turkey SMASHED IT

 

[Madíson]

Scott Fitzgerald’s son co-wrong Saara Aalto’s “Monsters”

 

[dmlaw]

I don't think that's actually an omen. Did this guy go on to write for Alanis Morissette?

 

[Tisch]

Oh my DAYS. I never knew I needed a Spanish Bucks Fizz in my life till now!

 

[COB]

More perverts

 

[Tisch]

I don't think that's actually an omen. Did this guy go on to write for Alanis Morissette?

Whom?

 

[lolly]

This is pushing my HOT SHIT buttons

[win_the_game]

DOUZE POINTS POUR L'ESPAGNE

 

[lolly]

I may rework my scores

 

[dmlaw]

Whom?

The presenter. A band with the name decade two decades after the country won is an omen in the same way that rain on your wedding day is ironic.

 

[D5K]

Was this guy in de toppers?

 

[Tisch]

LIVE TO TELL?

 

[D5K]

Oh I’m enjoying this already

Oh I seeeeeeeee. I thought you were being serious.

 

[Iguana]

More like it!

 

[Madíson]

Was this guy in de toppers?

He was, but not in the line-up that went to Moscow.

 

[dmlaw]

Was this guy in de toppers?

He looks more like a bottom to me.

 

[Tisch]

Quite big mullet

 

[dUb]

Er... this is great

 

[Suomi]

The Netherlands is QUITE GOOD

 

[lolly]

30 Iceland

[dmlaw]

The Netherlands is pretty good. Nice and dramatic.

 

[lolly]

Like a young Jennifer Rush

 

[dmlaw]

There must be a nationwide shortage of red crepe paper in Israel.

 

[Iguana]

Leg rate, boys?

 

[Iguana]

Quite CATCHY

 

[lolly]

One of Israel's poorer efforts

[win_the_game]

I'm not normally the BERET and NECK SCARF type but those accordion players are rather

 

[D5K]

I was bored with Israel then the whole ‘start slow then speed up’ thing hooked me right back in

 

[Tisch]

Israel are so good at Eurovision aren't they? (sometimes)

 

[Pingu]

Damn my uncle rang and I missed Made in Esthpain.
