Last year I livetweeted the Eurovision Song Contest and it went down surprisingly well.
Ever a sucker for trying to make lightning strike twice, I decided to do the same again this year.
Here, then, are my tweets of the night in the order they were posted.

New to That Was A Bit Mental? I usually do film reviews, you know. Mostly of utter shite. Here’s my review index, and here’s a list of the most batshit insane films covered.
I love the idea of Valdimir Putin tuning in to the Eurovision Song Contest and seeing his fully manufactured barbie-doll clean-cut Russian star being interviewed by an Austrian transvestite. Highlight of the evening for me.
