Where does the Eurovision Song Contest go from here? Is this just allowed to keep happening? How many more close calls until enough is enough? Because the day they win, it's over. It doesn't come back from that. Break contracts, stand firm, do what is right.

@ESCApocalypse Oh matey thank you so much for those words. Almost brings a tear to the eye, I looked up to you and admire you and work greatly! It's an absolute pleasure getting to know and meeting in real life!

@ESCPifPaf A sad loss to fankind! Always one of my favourite reads! But I also know exactly how you feel! Onward to the next obsession! You were always one of the best of us!

Decided it's time to call it a day. It's been a bloody laugh but all good things come to an end. pif-paf-blog.com/2025/03/19/goo…

@ascottreid Aye, it was lovely to actually meet after years on the birds site! I'm over there but just as me.

@ESCPifPaf Ah rubbish, I understand completely but your stuff was always great fun. Good to meet you IRL too. :) *makes cooing “come to own-brand Twitter (Bluesky) noises”*

@chrnochan Thanks mate, appreciate that! I think it's been a tough time for everyone's relationship with it.

@ESCPifPaf It’ll be sad to no longer see you on my feed during the contest week, but I also don’t blame you. Even I found out last year that my love and enthusiasm for this contest has bounds. Good luck with the future!

@ScottyEm Thanks mate, very much appreciated.

@ESCPifPaf You’ll be sorely missed. Definitely one of the “good eggs”.

Yes by Ben & Tan is a perfect three minute delight. Like just the ideal level of heartwarming and sweet.

@esc_tim My thoughts exactly. Had to explain to my flatmate who he is.

@ESCPifPaf Why is he there 😭

Pop When TV Goes Horribly Wrong on Channel 5 and there's a bloody familiar talking head on there.

@kariebookish @anngav @escinsider Aaaaaaah, I hadn't realised the format had been sold to Denmark. Oh aye, I've heard about Sam's time on Jeopardy. Funny how none of you have been on Tipping Point! 😂

If I had a nickel for every time a friend I know through Eurovision has competed for OU on University Challenge I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. @anngav @kariebookish

@eurovisionmate Even if it's not F1 he could definitely win Le Mans or something next year. Needs to realise he can multitask his motor racing career and one man bee crusade.

@ESCPifPaf DUDE I would die - I need him to leave his nursing home immediately and get back on the track 🔥🔥🔥

The only acceptable people for that Sauber seat are: 1. K-mag: because reuniting the dilf squad after everything they've been through in the twilight of their careers is fucking funny 2. Franco: bro is hilarious, his fans are passionate, can actually drive 3. Bottas: RAH🗣🇦🇺

@CQEdinburgh (insert anyone famous from Liechtenstein) your boys just took one hell of a beating.

@ESCPifPaf WHAT A VICTORY

The world is full of horrid things but seeing how happy everyone is for San Marino to have won a football match is genuinely heartwarming.

Certainly didn't have Sebastien Tellier popping at the Paralympic opening ceremony on my bingo card.

@PandjesPrins Haha! I'll admit the hashtag's not quite as catchy 😂

Now that's a familiar face! #DutchGP #F1
