Eurovision 2008 - Douze Points!

[luckykaa]

Eurovision went well.  This is the first chance I've had to update. 

I tried making far too much food.  This was the right choice because I ended up making slightly too much.  Hopefully nobody starved, although I did have a slight problem providing a decent selection of non-dairy;non-tomato options. 

And I cocked up the Spanish omelette.  This was not a problem dues to luckykaa's buffet catering tip #73 - Expect at least one dish to go horribly wrong. 

I think I need to run smaller parties.  My place is a bit too small for 10 people.  Although I want space for a bigger party!  I did provide far too much alcohol.  This is a good thing but I'm a little concerned about how long my cider will last having been opened. 

I rather liked Croatia - Kraljevi Ulice and 75 cents - just for the scratching on a gramaphone, and the song wasn't too bad.  Latvia's Pirates of the Sea was also rather fun.  I'm disappointed to find out that Latvia isn't landlocked.  Ours was rubbish although the lead singer did remind me of The Hood in Thunderbirds.

Then we played Singstar.  That was fun.  Some people are worse at this game than me!

And before anyone else asks, Eurovision is a sub-organisation within the European Broadcasting Union that is responsible for such events as the Eurovision song Contest.  It has nothing to do with the EU, and being in Europe is not a requirement for EBU eligibility, and Israel joined in 1957, seven years after the organisation was formed.  So that is why Israel is allowed in.  M'kay.
