- 16:50:31: Headed back from #gc4. Am in coach 8 of 7. Southeastern assimilated by confused Borg?
- 16:51:58: @DoctorMikeReddy Well who is going to argue with someone waving a sword? #gc4
- 17:00:42: @DrEvanHarris What if it raises some cash, but less than the cost to business/taxpayer to administer?
- 20:15:51: Time for #Eurovision kickoff, song 1: Finland. Odds:21. It's a terrible eco-ballad. Also, they have run short on actual words dum de dum
- 20:16:25: RT @sixthformpoet: Dana International is the world's most confusing airport. #eurovision
- 20:16:44: @narrativium Shame the rest;'s terrible.
- 20:20:05: OK, #Bosnia at odds:46. I think this mathematics loses a bit in the translation. Ugh, tambourine-based instrumental can't save#Eurovision
- 20:22:39: Our response toopening #Bosnia 'wohohoho' : 'dudedumdedum dadedum dum dum', swiftly followed by 'Everybody was Kung-fu fighting" #eurovision
- 20:24:28: It's #Denmark on #Eurovision (25) even in this crazy-crazy world, that hair isn't well-advised. Quick! One of them's getting away!
- 20:27:30: Hello, #Lithuania's brought fog. I Highly doubt a win here, but the odds are at 620, so who knows, worth a flutter? #eurovision
- 20:28:14: RT @Nosemonkey: It's Andrew Lloyd-Lithuania. KILL IT WITH FIRE. #eurovision << Burniate it!

- 20:34:44: It's the #Ireland comedy entry with the Jedward at an amazing 5.8. Net it not be said that terrible #Eurovision entries are dead!
- 20:38:42: A change of tone now with #Sweden (24) It's a crazy man with a box! #eurovision
- 20:40:54: Even worse, now it's a crazy man with a box, without his box! #eurovision
- 20:42:51: #Estonia time now (19) My 28mm scenery looks better than this! #eurovision
- 20:45:02: They really are moving like computer game heroes, everyone's hiding behind chest-high walls #eurovision #estonia #zeropunctuaton
- 20:46:39: Now: #Greece (200) Apparently, this includes a stereo microophone which is a wrapper (whatever that means) #eurovision
- 20:48:51: Apparently I should whatch his dance. Where? Is it on the You Tube? #eurovision #greece
- 20:52:44: The ever-popular #Russia (85) on now. He chooses his words like wise men do. If those wise men were 2nd rate pop writers #eurovision
- 20:55:56: The favorites, #France (2.7) now, going with the controversial tactic of entering someone who can actually sing. #eurovision
- 20:59:54: Time for the long-un-awaited return of #Italy (220) 'Beyond the shadow of a coffee' it says on these subtitles. #eurovison
- 21:02:31: I've been transported to Italy. The lobby of a fairly nice hotel. (Not an excellent one, or they'd be hitting the high notes) #eurovison
- 21:05:48: It's #Switzerland (170) now. this is the background music for an aggressively chirpy television advertisement for something. #eurovision
- 21:07:09: Bubbles cannot save that song #eurovision
- 21:09:51: Aaaah, time for UK(13.5) Buzzcocks-lineup-entrants Blue, with ICAN (according the signs behind them). Bad: I nned the subtitles #eurovision
- 21:12:50: As far as I can tell, Blue's song relates to either a kidnapping or the type of thing that would keep Max Mosely happy #eurovision
- 21:14:20: #Moldova's Rock Gnomes up now. (+2 Str, +2Con, +2 to Climbing). It's at 150, but this deserves to win on hats alone. #eurovision
- 21:15:24: RT @Nosemonkey: [...] Why hasn't anyone else realised this is what #eurovision's meant to be about before now? It's song 15 ffs... <Seconded
- 21:18:01: #Germany (19) back , and Lena's satellite has fallen back to earth, and it would appear not to have been a controlled re-entry. #eurovision

- 21:27:04: @DavidAllenGreen Well from the sound of that, you just got your way. #Austria #eurovision
- 21:30:23: #Ajerbaijan up now (5). Looks like they're at risk of being abducted by aliens. This actually sounds like a pop music record. #eurovision
- 21:35:14: OK #Slovenia (75) this isn't bad, pretty catchy. Plus, you know, see other comments on the visual appeal. #eurovision
- 21:38:39: Oi, #Iceland (150), I think you'll find that's *our* piano now. #eurovision
- 21:43:15: Perennial non-winners #Spain(160) 'You can't take the fun away from me' The same appears to be true of the microphones #eurovision
- 21:46:45: #Ukraine time (130), and they've slightly broken the stage. Get rid of the damn singer, we want more of the evils sand witch! #eurovision
- 21:48:06: RT @stebax: I like the Mystic Meg sand person. She scares easily but she'll be back. And in greater numbers.
- 21:50:03: Nearing the end with #Serbia(130), and we're back to the 60s. Groovy baby! #eurovision

- 22:11:25: Much as I think Norton's #Eurovision commentary has improved, I am not backing down, they should give the job to Eddie Mair.
- 22:25:29: Help! @bbcEurovision's Graham Norton is pinching @AFNeil's #bbctw material.
- 22:30:23: Jeepers! The UK gets a 12 from Bulgaria! #eurovision
- 22:33:39: Oi, other #eurovision tweeters in this room. Stop chearing hte UK score, it was terrible!
- 22:44:58: Well, we gave the Moldovans 10 and 12 to Ireland, so we're obviously treating the voting with the seriousness #eurovision deserves.
