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.
Ahh but we play the full rules drinking game ... so it really doesnt matter how crap the UK entry is - and to be honest I prefer this year to the classroom thingy ...
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!
Lol - Hardly .. there were 10 of us last year and Eurovision was followed by a singstar marathon well into the small hours of the morning .. basically went on till everyone dropped lol ... Its a good thing EV is on a Saturday ..
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 :-)
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)
Eurovision song contest?! I LOVE that.. I always sit there, take notes of the songs and groups and then give them marks out of 5! *SAD GEEK THAT I AM* LOL!
