Eurovision Song Contest 2013

[AndrewT]

In a bold move, fuelled by gin and tonic, I have left my staking rules crying and frightened in the corner by unloading over a monkey on Ukraine to finish in the Top 10 at 1.27.

Cash machines only pay out at 1.0 and yet I use those all the time.

Whatever happens in the final happens, but Sweden is the best song imo. Robin Stjurbjur driffed badly for Melodifestivalen but still crushed. Will be making him my biggest winner ever.

Also, despite tonight's performance, I'm now expecting Netherlands to do well. The performance doesn't actually count for a lot. Azer was not well done on the night and still won a couple of years ago. Netherlands was always one of those that would either do really well or bomb and the fact it's qualified is promising.

Moldova v Belarus match bets @ 10/11 each of two would be pleasing.

I've backed Sweden cos you're the daddy on this stuff but I just can't see it winning. But I'd guess he's the.......errrrrr.......festive type? Ummmmmmm, you know, flamboyant? And I think the pink vote helps a LOT in things like this.
You can get better than even money on it finishing top 10 which I guess you should be smashing into?

I like Holland, it's a little different and I think it can win. That's where I've put most of my money.
I also really like that Moldova song. If it was in English, I would think it had a real chance.

It's the more masculine one out of the Scissor Sisters - she's pretty tez. Can't seem to get the right mix of mocking without sneeriness.

Ana Matronic is the bird, remember when Scissor Sisters were pretty big back along. Used to like some of their stuff, and it was always good post club music...

Oh dear, be giving each other foot rubs in a minute.

Betting thread girls.

You have to credit Scissor Sisters for getting away with that name. It was as though no one made the connection when they made it big.

Some stretch getting to foot rubs from that?

I was talking about listening to music in a drunken and chemically induced stupor

If that's what happens with you and your boys so be it...
