Whaaaaaaat? No trolleys?
...It's gonna be so boring this time :lol:

 

[Urwumpe]

Good news: Bringing warning signs with you is still legal.

Eurovision always entertains!
It's a tradition to watch it, regardless of the actual musical quality

The forbidden objects poster is hilarious!
The list itself is nothing out of the ordinary, it's the same for football and other big events.
But it' funny to have icons for all that stuff :rofl:

It's that time of the year again...?

 

[Urwumpe]

It's that time of the year again...?

It is. Does somebody know who fails for Germany this year?

 

[martins]

Hang on, I am confused - does this list refer to things the audience isn't allowed to bring to the venue, or stuff that won't be allowed as stage props for the performers? How will they put up a convincing show without ropes, adhesive tape and, er, handcuffs?!?

Not to forget the ladders... Always very useful in combination with these things... :shifty:

And pyrotechnics. Hard to tell where Lordi might have ended up without them. Possibly second place.... :lol:

At least some good news.

I still have no idea, who this German participant is, but his song sounds like a rip-off parody of Ed Sheeran.

Eurovision 2018: Ireland through to final

Good news, I can watch that Father Ted episode again...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44044248

The other acts making it through the semi-final were:
Albania
Austria
Bulgaria
Cyprus
Czech Republic
Estonia
Finland
Israel
Lithuania

A further 18 countries will take part in the second semi-final on Thursday ahead of the grand final at Lisbon's Altice Arena on Saturday night.
The UK's hopes this year rest on London-born singer SuRie, who will perform her ballad Storms during Saturday's final.
Speaking at the first semi-final, the singer whose real name is Susanna Marie Cork, said she was excited for Saturday, adding: "It's such a dream."

Its a dream alright.

It was a decent semi-final with good songs.
Although it's not my type of music, it was enjoyable.

Just curious, is there anywhere in Europe that doesn't carry the Eurovision Song Contest?

Liechtenstein. But that doesn't really count as a country, right? :lol:

Well, that's strange. Considering San Marino and Monaco are.

Even the Vatican would be allowed to participate. :thumbup:

:hesaid:

I don't associate the Catholic Church with pop tunes at all, it would be challenge!
But somehow I think singing nuns would fit Eurovision.

Absolutely. Or singing monks.

Or a Pope rock'n'rolling the devil out of his guitar like Chuck Berry. :hmm:
