#Eurovision is the greatest event on the planet. What are the rules? Write a song. Should it be good? Shut up. How weird can it be? Yes. Who will win? Not Britain. The greatest event on the planet.

I think this system actually works better. For me, it's 2 out of 2 for Russia, Iceland, Germany and Finland. And then I can stop worrying about placing everyone else. https://t.co/er63cLhhta

Whoever wins tonight, thank you #Rotterdam2021 for such an incredible #Eurovision2021, it’s been so amazing to have it back, and back with a real bang too. So much love, so much happiness, so much joy – we’ve all won, thank you! #Eurovision

The UK will remain in #Eurovision whilst getting no points every year out of sheer stubborness and just to make things awkward for everyone.

UK & Germany to form #Eurovision Super League
Only legacy fans will be allowed to vote.
As I hear Graham Norton explaining that the Romanian presenter used to be an Olympic gymnast I find myself imagining viewers all over Europe having Amanda Holden explained. “She used to be married to Les Dennis”

How ironic that, on the night Glastonbury faces live streaming problems, the alternative music attraction is a song contest created 65 years ago to showcase the potential of satellite broadcast technology. #Eurovision

The lovely thing is that this has been a night when my timeline has been 90% talking about the same thing, opinions have been wildly different and yet no one has been abusive. Maybe we should only use Twitter for Eurovision.

I believe in preaching but I do think in the New Testament we see debate & conversation as more normative in that culture. I also believe dialogue rather than monologue is empowering for people without a voice and is more engaging for working class estates

As the number of online scams grows, I think I have a solution. We need a .con domain.
— Dave Gorman (@DaveGorman) May 26, 2021
If we just make all the scams register as a .con we'll all know they're cons and be able to avoid them.
I can see no flaw in this plan at all.
I did the big food shop this morning and when I got home couldn’t find my bank card, panicked, I blocked my card, retraced my steps but no joy.

A number of people have already pointed out that this is very Alan Partridge. But the most Partridgean part of it, by far, is, as the difficult question comes in, the "can't stop, running! bye-bye now" backwards wave. https://t.co/0GzVrqy0pa
