hah hah My lives a mess at the mo Beanie and my finances are even worse but im gearing tonight up around this and by hook or by crook i will be here shouting on something. Is there any eurovision 2008 internet stream for it?

[Beanie]

Yep, the official site streamed it last year(need to download Octoshape client for it) and plan to do so again this year. Was brill quality stream last year - I'll stick up a link later on.

cool Beanie. Worst case scenario for me is that i lose my last bucks playing poker. Im hoping for money to come my way for another source hopefully for 5pm. I dont know where i will have money and how much so things a mess. Maybe i should just go play poker the now and take matters into my own hand. I'll be back Beanie

[Beanie]

Aye get involved in the Israeli party tonight if you can

[kompressaur]

You calling me a wanker Beanie?

i will laughj it off non the less as heh is eurovision semi night pt1. Beanie you think we'll get paid out tonight on 'to qualify' bets? Sounds daft but ive got a feeling that they dont settle the bets on this till Sunday night when the official semi results are announced. I cant really tie up any of my poker money till then.

I don't think I can handle watching. My butterflies are frenzied and all I can hear in my head is the Isareal song. "Hwach llama oooooo yach a hammock.." *two slightly distorted bongos*

[Beanie]

They will pay out on the 'To Qualify' bets tonight, yes.

They announce official results in terms of Rankings after the final, but naturally we will know the qualifiers at the very least.

Any 'to win the semi' and 'top 3' bets etc tho - they will only be settled after the final.

No nerves Mick, we both know he'll nail it vocally, there's no choreography to mess up etc. Just all lies in the voting - draw is still the big handicap, but nah, I'm confident.

I still haven't heard all the bloody songs either. Jeezy peeps. I'm away to find the stragglers. I've only got my Israel bet at the moment so could do with something else.

Im putting the finishing touches to a lay of Finland at the moment. It's a bad semi to be in for them - crammed in amongst all the big songs, and only 1 Skando country(Norway) to help them(and only 1 Balkan country (Estonia) too) so not much help on the voting front, and there's nothing Eurovision about the song. Can't see it getting through at all - can lay at a shade over evens.
