I'll admit I did watch every single year when I lived in Ireland, but I didn't have much choice. The Eurovision was held in a very small town right near us in 1993 called Millstreet. I moved to Ireland in 1996 and the locals were still on a high from hosting it a few years earlier. They STILL are if truth be told. My kids love watching it and we never missed a year's viewing. There isn't a house or pub in the area that doesn't have it on and if you dare try to have a conversation while it's airing, you'd be told in no uncertain terms to hush. I got my first laptop in 2009 and that was the first year I was able to do something other than watch that stupid programme. Left Ireland in 2011 and haven't watched it since. Roll on to now and I find myself missing those times watching my kids all animated when this one or that one performed. And then their cheers and roars while the voting was going on. If I do watch it tomorrow night, I'll be thinking of them. But I'll also be playing the bingo to pass the time.

It all went downhill after Abba... wild horses wouldn't get me to watch it. I did see a clip on the news with a 'bearded woman' from somewhere who is performing... which made it more impossible to watch. that bearded woman is the Austrian one So, so sorry Clivia... but at least you have restored their reputation for beautiful women.

I'll be watching it, I'm one of those sad people who will watch it every year and be excited about it. I really only enjoy the novelty acts which there wasn't enough of last year
