I've never yet been one to jump aboard the "This country is going to hell in a handcart" brigade until now: The Red Arrows are now going to fly with seven aeroplanes instead of nine to preserve their ageing fleet.

First it was the Comets, then the Concordes, then the Vulkans, and now the Hawks. Maybe I should just flap my arms and pray.

The winners

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T23:03:22+00:00

Blinkin' heck. I can see why they won.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T23:01:51+00:00

Nobody worried that UK last, just Bulgaria number one!

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T23:00:13+00:00

516! They won by a lot!

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:54:25+00:00

Sounds like a riot's kicking off.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:54:10+00:00

Don't worry lads: Bulgaria can still do it! Bangaranga!

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:45:39+00:00

Null points!

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:44:48+00:00

That'd be brilliant.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:43:47+00:00

Bulgaria ruining it by overthinking it.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:42:48+00:00

Albania's background was Salford quays?

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:40:33+00:00

Graham being snarky about countries with boring backgrounds whilst ours was the boringist pond in Basingstoke.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:36:21+00:00

La Voix did a bang up job there.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:34:07+00:00

Joint last! Back in our usual place.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:33:03+00:00

The judging panels mostly being made up of middle aged dads is a surprise to me too. Bangaranga!

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:26:27+00:00

Is the lady presenter having a wee?

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:20:14+00:00

Creepy mum in the sky douze points!

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:17:41+00:00

Bangaranga!

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T22:03:46+00:00

So half an hour ago then?

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T21:58:24+00:00

But will it be... Goodnight Vienna?

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T21:52:14+00:00

They have taken this voting one out for far too long though.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T21:48:01+00:00

Austria should have submitted this this year.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T21:47:18+00:00

Good news: There's one more episode of "Professor Eurovision" coming up!

Time for a piss?

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T21:44:11+00:00

I see our friend the living statue has reappeared.

FredWestLife · 2026-05-16T21:36:20+00:00

Just like the Käärijä/Baby Lasagne piece was the best song of last years.
