Eurovision!
Time to play the game again....( originally featured in 2006 on this blog and also in the Guardian)
This year's refreshed categories...score 1 ONLY if they appear during a song performance. Multiple appearance of characteristic still only counts as one, scoring during songs only, not links. Easiest way to play is to write on bits of paper and pull out of a hat.
UPDATE: The Sunday Times picks through the politics and the sequins

heheh,
have already seen half of the them...
It was very camp as usual, though I preferred it when Dana International won, or the Finnish death metallers in fright-masks.
We all scored highly, which is not ideal in a drinking game - Russia on the ascendent, which chimes with global energy politics...
It was nice to have my sister and 2 mates round, and to be finally able to relax a bit, now I know my uncle is out of the woods.
the voting could have a drinking game of it's own. You'd drin when an eastern bloc country gives another one 12 points, the cyprus-greece connection, sucking up the hosts and you'd probably have to down a pint when the UK get a point - it's a rarity nowadays.
Wouldn't it be great if the UK set out to find an act next year who offered all 30 items on the list. We'd certainly stand a better chance of winning.
