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 :-)
