All set for 8.00pm!
Get yourself a nice glass of wine ? or cup of tea brew & enjoy.
Good luck Sam - our very own Spacemaaaaaan! We’ve actually got a brilliant song this year so should do well.

See you at 8.00!

A night of surprises indeed, eGJ.

ShazzaKanazza Sat 14-May-22 23:37:22

Oh my gosh I could cry I think we might win this!!

Grannmarie Sat 14-May-22 23:40:03

Glad you made it Shazza!

crazyH Sat 14-May-22 23:40:38

Yes ……I think we’re winning ?

grannyactivist Sat 14-May-22 23:42:14

So the UK has won the Jury vote. That’s amazing.

crazyH Sat 14-May-22 23:44:27

Why is Australia in the Eurovision ?

Grannmarie Sat 14-May-22 23:46:56

Wow, Moldova ??

grannyactivist Sun 15-May-22 00:01:29

And the winner is………Ukraine!

grannyactivist Sun 15-May-22 00:02:04

United Kingdom in second place! ????????????

Grannmarie Sun 15-May-22 00:05:38

Slava Ukraine ??

Well done Sam, what a lovely man, best result for UK for a long long time!

rafichagran Sun 15-May-22 00:06:46

I thought this result was obvious. I am pleased for Urkrane, but I am glad Sam came 2nd, he was gracious, and as Grahame Norton said a great ambassador for Eurovision.

ElaineI Sun 15-May-22 00:14:21

Good result. Glad Ukraine won and the public supported them but also glad for Sam. Seemed more about the music this time I feel - some surprise votes too.

boheminan Sun 15-May-22 00:14:28

Good result. Finished the wine, thanks for the use of the sofa Kindinsky. Great night.

G'night allmoon

gillgran Sun 15-May-22 00:21:48

A great result, I'm pleased that Ukraine won, (as expected with the public vote).
Also happy to see the UK doing so well to come second.
Most relieved that we came ahead of Spain, I'm far too old & staid for those Spanish girl's bottoms.......!!! wink

Cherrytree59 Sun 15-May-22 00:34:31

Agree gillgran if Spain had won they would have had to change title to the Eurovision thong contest ?

As it was a great result ?
Solidarity and love to Ukraine.
Well done Sam ?
Hopefully in Ukraine next year.
If not, can see that the contest could be held in UK on behalf of Ukraine.

BlueBelle Sun 15-May-22 06:10:24

Well I stuck it out and was very happy that the two ‘Uk s’ won and came second
I don’t believe anyone would mind coming second to Ukraine which was obviously a vote of love and support
Sam Ryder who I d never heard of did very well and has broken our run of ‘nil poi’s’ He seemed an easy going happy chappie and not up his own xxxx looks as if he takes life as it comes and has a good voice too
???

Bad news for UK. Better than nil points for the last ten years. Think Europe finally likes us. Or maybe being kind cause no longer part of Europe anymore. And great for Ukraine even though song was crapxxx

BlueBelle Sun 15-May-22 07:25:28

What do you mean bad news for U.K. it was brilliant news !!!

Iam64 Sun 15-May-22 07:32:39

Great news for the Uk. Of course Ukraine ???????

Let go of all the Europe doesn’t like us victim stuff. Go on holiday anywhere in Europe and be warmly welcomed

TillyTrotter Sun 15-May-22 07:50:25

Huge respect for Sam and Space Man ?. He did us proud.
Huge love for Ukraine ?? ?
I wish the world could do more to help them in their hour of need. ?

AGAA4 Sun 15-May-22 09:03:24

So glad Ukraine won. A much needed boost for their country. Sam Ryder did a great job for the UK the best result for 20 years.

rubysong Sun 15-May-22 09:11:47

Great result! Sam did a fantastic job. I loved his sparkly jumpsuit. I hope it goes on display somewhere, I'd love to see it.

Visgir1 Sun 15-May-22 09:11:54

Ukraine obvious they would win no one would begrudge them this joy , but Sam's Song was really the best.

Looks like Europe loves our talent after all, even France 12 points, it is a Song contest not a Political one.

Big career for Sam now, he deserves it what a credit he is to the UK.

timetogo2016 Sun 15-May-22 09:28:32

Spot on Visgirl.

Kandinsky Sun 15-May-22 09:38:21

Yes.
Ukraine was always going to win no matter what, so basically 2nd place is the real winner.
Well done Sam!
Even though it is a great song I still can’t believe we came 2nd, especially after brexit ?
