Me checking in to see how everyone’s getting on at the OGAE UK Facebook group…

Years ago I bought this cat cake in Asda for my daughter’s birthday but I think they’ve stopped making it. Does anyone know if any other big supermarkets have a cat themed cake? It’s all she wants for her birthday!

Take That are doing a special announcement today and I swear if it’s all 5 guys together again I may just have a heart attack!

What kind of animal is a labubu supposed to be? Why are they so expensive?! How come they’re so ugly??

Most fun Monday night ever!!!

My two little chonks #cats #catsofbluesky #caturday

@ewanspence.co.uk @escapetothecymru.bsky.social I want to introduce you two to each other! Charlie has an interesting idea for a blog post for you!

People are wandering around in bucket hats and putting strawberries in sandwiches, and it rains every time I try to hang my washing outside. This country is so strange.

Well done to the #Lionesses. Now that we’re champions (again) can we retire that awful ‘It’s Coming Home’ song? That song is all about being hopeful losers. Our women are winners! Women’s football should have its own song anyway. Can’t we get the Spice Girls or someone to do one for them?!

About to watch the final of #BuildingTheBand and I’m obsessed with 3Quency! These girls are going to be huge!

I think my cat attended the Tyra Banks school of modelling. Look how he can smize on demand!

Missing #BristolCalling today as I’m not feeling great but I do get to listen to my daughter singing in the next room. She’s really good but shy about it - every time one of us goes in, she stops! I wish she’d be confident enough to do it in front of people, she’s a lovely singer!

Ok who else is watching #BuildingtheBand ? This format is addictive to watch! I’m obsessed with group #1. They’re the best. When do they all get band names?!

Ok #Eurovision geeks help me out - I know there were once plans for an Asiavision contest and they’ve done the American Song Contest. Has there ever been an African version? If not, why not?

Maybe they could go Paddy McGuinness style: Let the douze see the points!

Can we please start a thread of suggestions for a new catchphrase for #Eurovision voting now that Martin is good to go? Here’s what Chat GPT thinks…

Well, having just said all was quiet in #Eurovision land…

It’s so weird that nothing much happens in #Eurovision world for ages now. I need to find more hobbies to fill the gaps between seasons! 😂

I know it was controversial in its day but I really wish they would bring back The Swan. I’d love to go away for a few weeks & come home with a whole new face and wardrobe! I would 100% sign up for it!

Wise words from ar Sam 👏

As a Seychelloise I grew up aware of the plight of our neighbours the Chagossians. Today’s ruling sounds like progress but what difference will it make to them really? Many have died already waiting to go home. It’s all so desperately sad. 😢

These two are proper cuddle bugs!

Blimey, I thought we were meant to be in #Eurovision off season but it’s all kicking off today!

The broader point here is solid. This system, generally, can be gamed. If people lose confidence in the voting system the result could be an existential crisis for Eurovision. Anyway, good luck with that over the summer. escinsight.com/2025/05/19/e...

I’m going as Queen Celine tonight. Ne party pas sans moi! #Eurovision

That’s me! #Eurovision

She is the moment. Slaying the PR game. The social media game. The diva game. #VoteMalta #Eurovision

Here are a few pics from #MyFirstEurovision - at least the first one I attended in person anyway!

I did about 5 BBC local radio interviews about #Eurovision yesterday and there’s a TV interview coming out this week on ITV too! I wonder how many more there’ll be before the end of the week? Just call me Mrs Eurovision! 😂

Ok genuinely no idea what will happen for the UK at the final now, given tonight’s results. It truly is anyone’s game! #Eurovision

Also mourning the loss of Croatia. Marko really served tonight. I thought the audience were gonna eat that poison cake! #Eurovision

Super shocked that Belgium and Cyprus didn’t make the cut. What the hell just happened?! #Eurovision

This is so real 😂 #eurovision (credit: escxlucian on Twitter/X)

Cyprus looked absolutely amazing on TV. Whoever staged that is going to be inundated with jobs next year! #Eurovision

Just spotted @mradamr.bsky.social wielding a sausage for Sweden on stage in Basel. He gets everywhere that lad. #Eurovision

I keep getting all these emails from OGAE about all the wonderful things happening in Basel & now I’m having FOMO cos I’m not attending #Eurovision this year. Booo hoooo! 😢

Ok wait up, so the first rehearsals at #Eurovision are closed this year? When do we get to see it all for the first time then?

I can’t wait to get on everyone’s nerves with this next time I go into the office.

✨ HAPPY ✨ ✨ EUROVISION ✨ ✨ MONTH ✨

If you’re trying to avoid the Sunday night scaries, why not have a listen to the latest ESC Insight podcast, featuring me butchering a disco classic very badly, plus @ewanspence.co.uk & @philjdore.bsky.social being very knowledgeable about #Eurovision…

In the run up to #Eurovision I’m a guest on Juke Box Jury this week discussing Malta, Ireland, Georgia, Croatia and Switzerland, and also the brief true story of how I almost became a member of S Club 7 back in the day…

Is this an angry face or a happy face? Nala always looks angry to me! 😂

I’ve got a feeling about this one…

Is that a tear?! Omg so proud of our girls! 🇬🇧 It’s just a shame they can’t take this song! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHY5...

When #Eurovision arrives, so do the cameras! It’s almost time, people…!

Remember Monday have just dropped a teaser for their cover of Husavik and I have a really good feeling about this… vm.tiktok.com/ZNdYKu4cD/

Omg this lad made a right show of himself during a podcast recording tonight. Just hoping his miaows haven’t ruined the edit! 😂

When you’re just so damn handsome you make everyone late for school.

Has anyone done a study on the relationship between pre-party appearance/pre-contest PR & actual contest performance? Does not doing it have a negative impact on points gained? @escinsight.com surely Ben has some stats nerdery on this?!

Ok so from Eurovision to…er poo. Yep, I’m spending the next 2 days up north in a Poo suit for the charity I work for! If you’re in the north west you will likely see us on your local news tonight…!
