Just off to William Hill's O/T

[shrimper]

Big bet on Norway - very short odds but an absolute cert (in my mind).

May put an each way on Ukraine just in case it's as rigged as usual.

What do you think??

[Mark S]

I am glad you got around to making your mind up!

[Christies Child]

Let's hope it's Congratulations and not your Waterloo....

[Posh]

Congratulations Glen. You're like a puppet on a string to the bookies, they'll tell you all kinds of everything. I think you're a bit Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley if you ask me putting money on a non-former Soviet block country.

P.S. If anyone can find room in a witty retort for "Fångad av en stormvind" then you'll have my greatest respect.

UK odds have been tumbling, 40/1 a couple of weeks ago. The best high street price you can now get is 12/1. Listening to a radio show last night, apparently some eurovision expert mentioned that the Russians have told everyone to vote for us.

Sorry, you'll have to find your own retort for "caught in a stormwind"
Mind you, Eurovision is more of a storm in a tea cup

Have a look here for some funny swedish/english idiom translations.

[Number 1]

Good call Glen. Hope you lumped on!

[Joe Oh]

My mate gave me evens on UK finishing outside the top 4. It went right down to the last vote in the end but proved a shrewd bet.

Anyone see last years winner get his coat stuck in his wires at the start? That's what we watch Eurovision for!

[shrimper]

This year I have been mostly lumping on Belgium.

They were 40/1 yesterday but are now down to 14s in most places.
Still worth a punt if you can get each way (a couple are doing better odds but 'win only').

Even coming in 2,3 or 4 your each way stake will return better than a straight win punt on the runaway favourites, Azerbaijan, who have put a lot of money into marketing their entry, desperate to host the event next year.

I'll leave it with you.

[captain sparkle]

I can't help thinking that too many people on here know too many eurovision song titles!!
I'm off to have a word with Dorothy to see if she's heard of you.

If anyone can find room in a witty retort for "Fångad av en stormvind" then you'll have my greatest respect.

I think it should be the stock phrase on the Magic Bus with Freez driving, after he's had a curry and chips the night before.


Sorry Bro', couldn't resist the posh set-up !

[shrimper]

Ooooh! not long now. Me and the girls are just setting up the crisps and nibbles!!

[RedRedWine1]

Hope you haven't tried to cheat on the multi-cultural nibbles by just canvassing the Walkers World Cup crisp flavours. Roast Beef and Y******** pud aside, they are all pretty gash. Stay away from the Spanish variety. They smell really bad, as do the French ones....but thats nothing new!

[shrimper]

My EW looking okay so far!!

[Heysham_Shrimp]

Looking good for Germany. They wont need a penalty shoot-out.

[shrimper]

Damn East European mafia cost me money!

[Mighty Red]

Not this time. Still, what's another year?

[Morecambe Player]
