[livejournal.com profile] vindolandia is in Hemel, although I'm sure it's our turn to host it since I'm convinced I won the Singstar contest afterwards last year!

Given the state of the UK entry I can only assume proceedings would be enhanced enormously by large amounts of alcohol.

Surely that's the only way to enjoy Eurovision!

True but it hasn't always been to drown out the fact that our entry are a bunch of cabin crew who've been locked in a closet with Lesley Phillips for a year.

nice one - The drinking a single shot of alcohol native to a given country sounds like a challenge!

Alternative list ....or combine! o_o
Have one sip of your drink per successfully met condition:

Hosts

Sing
Speak in rhyme
Gaze into each others eyes -- drain glass if they pash

Singers/Backup Singers

Wink at camera
Drop to their knees
Make a peace sign
Sing in language other than English or native tongue (ie. Ukrainian sings Hasta La Vista)
Wear a hat - drain glass if wearing horns
Flick their hair - drain glass if bald
Have a moustache - drain glass if female with moustache
Show décolletage - drain glass if wearing a codpiece
Rapping - drain glass!

Dancers/Musicians

Mime heavy guitar solo
Play an 'ethnic' instrument
Play piano while standing
'Ethnic' dancing - drain glass if Hip Hop dancing
Pretend to fight - drain glass if martial arts
Contortionist - drain glass!

General

Helicopter shots
Sped up or slowed down film
Any costume change
Any key change
Use of props (i.e. candles, ribbons, dummies)
Use of fireworks - drain glass if singer catches fire
UK gets no points - drain glass if UK catches fire
Your country wins - drain glass!

Sounds great fun! I'll have to see if I can find any folks having a party that will have me along :-)

Though of course I don't actually drink ...

... and given the UK act, I think a mandatory watching of at least one episode of The High Life will be mandatory!

The High Life, depicted a cabin crew for Air Scotia, an airline flying out of Glasgow International Airport. The crew consisted of an effete steward, Sebastian; his sex-obsessed colleague Steve; the chief stewardess, Shona Spurtle; and the obtuse, semi-demented pilot Captain Duff. Sebastian and Steve longed to be promoted from the short-haul flights to landing the more exotic locales frequented on the long-haul routes, and they also wished to escape from the clutches of their hard-as-nails superior Shona, whom they described as 'Hitler in tights'. The seven episodes - a Comic Asides pilot and subsequent series of six - were frantically paced and the programme existed in an unreal, farcical world. Cumming and Masson's stage training was evident in the production of The High Life, which was more overtly theatrical than typical sitcoms, even down to the credits and closing sequences which were elaborate music and dance numbers.
With Alan Cumming and Siobhan Redmond among others ... I particularly liked it when the spaced out Captain showed up in full Captain Kirk outfit for one flight :-)

Sadly, I'll be out of the country for it.

Though if it were just a few hours earlier, I'd be able to get riotously drunk with some Americans, and watch it on some random cable channel (which would have been just as good)
