Thx

Eurovision Drinking Game
Given the likelihood that you will be drinking quite a lot, according to these rules, we would recommend a low-alcohol beverage. Passion Pop mixed with lemonade to taste is ideal. You may also want to consider a perversion of the national drink of your favourite team. How you interpret “sip”, “gulp” and “skol” are, of course, up to you.
Sip for:
•Any all-white ensemble (skol for a full white tuxedo)
•Glitter or rhinestones
•Hair or headgear bigger than the wearer’s face
•Face paint
•Any song actually sung in the native tongue of its country (France excepted)
•Any song you believe to be sung in the native tongue of its country, but that then turns out to be in English
•Shirtless beefcake dancers or bikini-clad tottie
•Any points actually received by the United Kingdom
•Tenuous ring-in competitors from other countries (see: Celine Dion)
•Off-key singing
•Stage junk: fake instruments, performers who aren’t singing, dancing or playing anything,
•Any instrument onstage that nobody in the room can identify.
•Any appearance by an accordion.
•As a special tribute to 2009’s winner, any gratuitous string accompaniment (the saxophone solo of the new century)
Gulp for:
•Costume perversion of national dress
•Any performer who arrives on stage through a means other than their own feet (e.g. stilts, motorcycle, lowered from ceiling on glittering camel)
•Any outfit so ridiculous that you feel the need to drink to make it go away
•Pyrotechnics
•Oversized novelty anything
•Onstage disaster of any kind
•Human pyramid
•Any item of clothing ripped off during a performance, accidental or intentional
Skol for:
•Gratuitous inclusion of a celebrity (See: Celine Dion)
•Wardrobe malfunction
•Made-up languages
•Yodelling
•Veiled references to facism
•France sings in English
If the United Kingdom still has nil points at the end of the show, finish your drink.

Call me weird but I actually like to watch the Eurovision final, just because it's cheesy, terrible and gives you such a good laugh. The worse the song/performer/outfit the better! It's also funny to see how some countries take the competition so seriously. If there's no bar where I can watch it, I'll try to look for an internet site that shows it live. Although, considering the time difference between Europe and HK, sleeping might seem more appealing to me...
