We could have been listening to Iceland again now you fools! #eurovision

@antimega Or is that a lie?!

@antimega I don't believe anything you say now.

@holgate @katylindemann Yeah, I thought it was like a reject from Nashville (the TV series, not the movie or the place).

@simonth Yeah. But I do like that even at something so silly and fun people aren't pretending it's not happening.

@simonth Er, yes? Not sure what you mean. I'm not saying they shouldn't boo.

The booing of Russia is like a rift in spacetime, like when soap opera characters discuss something happening in the real world. #eurovision

China joke in the song was actually really good. At first. #eurovision

Ukraine. Iceland. Maybe Finland. #eurovision

@antimega Well done! #facts

@suegyford I'm relieved! It's weird seeing him smile, never mind attempting to tell jokes!

@suegyford If you think this is "normal" you'd better have some post-Eurovision recalibration.

@anneshewring I think that's a quote from 'Fame': "Here's where you start paying… in sweat. You have to move to dance."

@anneshewring You should be a choreographer.

@peterme Time well spent.

@peterme @holgate seems to spend weeks preparing to watch #eurovision every year.

@matlock You're all the same, invading neighbouring countries, craving moustaches!

@maxgadney You're going to need at least ten minutes of ITV and Dave in between to make sure you don't get the bends.

"Undo my sad." Going to remember that for future emo tweets. #Eurovision

Germany seem very passionate about something, but even reading the lyrics I'm not sure what it is. #eurovision

Re Poland: “@quantick: This makes the Cheeky Girls look like Echo and the Bunnymen. #Eurovision”

Now watching the lyrics on the red button. Poland eschewing all metaphor and saying what they mean. #eurovision

@maxgadney I can't remember who anyone is now. I've eaten a load of salt and vinegar crisps and can barely focus.

@maxgadney I'll take your word for it. You are obviously more down with the kids than me.

Iceland 👍#eurovision

Iceland look like men who founded a dotcom agency 15 years ago, who have a band together in their spare time. #eurovision

@katylindemann Well jeez, if you're going to be picky…!

I could happily that one (Ukraine) again, which I think is going to be an unusual feeling this evening. #eurovision

@jenniferdaniel @jennschiffer FWIW, for this reader, the watermark conveyed (purposeful) ineptitude and humour, not mindless theft.

Stop talking French! This is Europe! #eurovision

COME ON TIM! #eurovision #uk

@holgate Betteridge looked up and popped his monocle.

It never rains in 67% of Spain.

Two girls, one coup #russia #Eurovision

We'd call into question the milk churning methods of the Polish #eurovision entry.

I'm so happy with the brilliant weirdness of #eurovision. It's like the charts in 1973.

My wife walks in as I try to squeeze in the middle. I tell her it's for a Eurovision tweet. She sighs sadly.

This makes the Cheeky Girls look like Echo and the Bunnymen. #Eurovision
