People who've actually read anything Yahtzee wrote before setting off to Australia may remember how he used to run daily updates. And one of these about the Eurovision Song Contest. I'm not going to link to it, FR is still there, even if no-one cares. Basically, he said the only bit of it work watching was Terry Wogan's drunken, angry commentry, and also that "Terry Wogan will eventually die, and his part in the contest is one [he] was fucking BORN to play."

And now Terry Wogan's stepping down. And being replaced by Graham bloody Norton.

Now I'd rather stick spiders up my urethra than watch Graham Norton camping it up and taking the gimpy twats seriously, so I'm forcded to admit, the only way forward is to fly Yahtzee back to England, and get him to commentate it. He's shown he can get pissed and rip on things on the fly; just listen to any Australian Gamer podcast he's done.

So everyone else in England; I am willing to stump up some money to get Yahtzee home, hire some hitmen to put the heat on Norton, but I'm unemployed. Who else is in?

If I wasn't being laid off myself, I'd stump up some cash...

[Gobbler]

So that's how other countries deal with it... interesting. Too bad it won't happen here, people are already far too deluded and generally have a thing against humour, especially the dark kind, or so it seems.

[Game Over]

How much?

[Chyld]

Gobbler: No, we used to have Terry Wogan getting lashed and telling us how shit it is, but he's left. Now we've got Graham Norton, who's basically going to go head to head with the competition to see who can be camper. Which just won't be worth even complaining about. Yahtzee may be an arrogent twat, but at least he won't describe any of the acts as "FAHbulous".

Game Over: I don't know. We need to find out how much a return ticket back to England from Oz is, and how mujch it'd cost to get Norton kneecapped. Then see how many people we cna muster, and split the cost.

[Spann]

I'll be honest, even if all we achieve is getting Norton kneecapped, I'm in.

[Game Over]

Yeah, I doubt a ticket would cost more than £300 (no, he won't be sitting first class). Maybe I'll finally get the chance to meet Benji.

[AdamM]

Norton?

Fucking NORTON?

Why did I not hear of this? Jesus Christ...

Actually, reconsidering, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to shoot him down, he's a witty guy, maybe he'll be good on the night.

No, you could hear the utter contempt for the entire rigimarole coming off of Sir Terry. Norton, however, genuinly likes it. You can tell from all the gameshows he keeps hosting to find who's taking part.

And as an ancillary point, why bother with those fuckers? Get Bill Bailey, give an acoustic guitar, and let him loose.

[Spann]

I believe Bill Bailey was attempting something to do with Eurovision.

Tim Minchin lives here now too, I say give him a piano and Bill a guitar and we're sorted.

Certainly Wogan became more and more disillusioned with the whole thing as time went on, but that doesn't mean Norton won't be above taking the piss out of the various acts in a similar manner.

At least, I hope so.

[Chyld]

You keep hoping, lad, I'll just make a drinking game where I take a shot everytime somethings described as FAHbulous.

nothing wrong with a bit of camp cander... except when it's a Geordie speaking in the camest voice you could imagine, I nearly shat myself in disbelief, imagine Stephen Fry with a Geordie accent :S obviously a farsight less intelligent.. he was talking about castles..
