I love that Amsterdam is bringing all the #Eurovision gangs back together…the beauty blenders, the Slavic girl gang, the old timers, the drunken Brits. We love to see it! Instagram is one big party right now!

Does anyone know how far in advance #ABBAVoyage tickets go up? If I wanted to buy for next November, roughly when would that go on sale?

Currently watching on BBC2 and oh my gosh, what a talent she is. The UK is lucky to have such an amazing artist right now. #JadeAtTheProms

I’m very behind on #CelebrityTraitors - is it just me or is Jonathan Ross an accidental style icon? He looks like he got dressed in the dark & shoved on any old thing, but also everything he wears is somehow fabulous? How?!

Genuinely fascinating deep dive into what makes a Eurovision song. I live for this kind of geekery.

Another thing they missed out of #GirlbandsForever was that Heidi Range was originally in Atomic Kitten. She was right there, so why didn’t they ask her about it?!

Just finished watching #GirlbandsForever last night. Why did they leave out Girls Aloud? They didn’t mention them even once!

Why do old people care so much about Halloween suddenly? When I was a kid we didn’t decorate for Halloween or have a pumpkin or anything. But if I don’t do it for my kids now, my mum will not let it go! 😂 When it did become a ‘thing’?! 🎃

Apparently a third of the internet relies on Amazon web services. Do we think it was a good idea to put so many eggs in that one basket…?!

I’ve just seen a beauty campaign using a model inspired by Ophelia, similar to the Taylor Swift Ophelia imagery. Why is everyone obsessed with her now? Don’t you all know Ophelia went mad and drowned?!

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!

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…
