Eurovision
Sorry about all the posts today, folks, but people keep asking me questions that are just out of my league.
Lara wants to know “where I can watch Eurovision in Greenwich this Saturday. I could go to GAY in town but I want local continental fun!”
As someone who last watched Eurovision when I was about 14, I am once again, totally unqualified to speak on this.
The only one I actually know about is at the Greenwich Picturehouse which does look good – there will be prizes for the best Euro-outfit, the bar will be open all evening and there will be plenty of dancing in the aisles.
Interestingly they have a disclaimer on the ad, saying the entrance fee is for the party, not for the live broadcast from Oslo they’ll be showing. Not sure what would happen if a party-pooper turned up without Euro-kit on, refused to dance or drink and demanded to see the broadcast for nothing. One would hope they would be condemned to sit in a booth on their own whilst Jemini’s 2003 entry was piped on a loop through their headphones.
Anyone know of any other special screenings?

If you want a pub, go to The Rose and Crown on Crooms Hill. Friendly gay venue with a boisterous and vocal euro crowd.
Just popped into The Rose and Crown and I can confirm that they are showing Eurovision for free unlike the £17 entry fee at The Picture House!
Phantom, you said “not for the live broadcast from Oslo they’ll be showing”.
I know you are a little behind with your post box but Oslo was so last year.
This years broadcast will be from Dusseldorf.
Tee hee. I guess my mentioning Oslo implies that I’m actually interested…
Can anyone recommend a good pub where I can’t watch Eurovision?
I don’t think many would show it!
