Have the freestyle skiing on over lunch, and they're blasting Tutta l'Italia over the speakers - I wonder if Gabry Ponte was playing the long game getting this into the zeitgeist a year before all eyes turned to Italy...?

I just know we're going to get a pastiche of these big headed boys during Sanremo #Olympics

It is a cliché to say, but these past few passages have all felt a bit Eurovision interval act #Olympics

I cannot wait for this to appear in Una Voce per San Marino #Olympics

She's no Topo Gigio #Olympics

Welp the commentary I've got on just said that the blonde bob lady was Raffaella Carrà, unfortunately omitting that she died five years ago and it was clearly a tribute #Olympics

I need a Moka pot outfit in my life #Olympics

Dialling out now, hopeful for the band, expecting Birdy #LSC

If this wins then the Luxembourgish budget will be decimated by the need for talcum powder to cope with the chafing from the leather #LSC

The resemblance is uncanny for the chorus at least

Birdy, are you hearing this?? Get your legal team on the phone ASAP #LSC

This is *so* Melodifestivalen coded, namely a big name/diva trying *one last time* to get back in after last winning it in 1987 #LSC

Philip Rivers going from the Colts to trying out for Eurovision #LSC

He won't be going to Vienna but I can't wait for the merch drop #LSC

Highlight of the year is already "I sing in public toilets" #LSC

Yes I like bands in Eurovision so am immediately biased, but this is so clearly the best so far, vocals can be worked on over the months but it's by far the best package as of now #LSC

I am so stoked for the inevitable shift into colour with this camera work #LSC

Tbh 'send the band' is my own personal Eurovision mantra at any possible opportunity #LSC

Luxembourg yet again wooing me with shots of their free trams #LSC

Daryss, I'm sure you're a lovely person and you clearly can sing, but we need a real rest on songs like this until they can't be compared harshly to Voila #LSC

I gather there might be a mixing issue but I was really having a hard time hearing anything over the track

Luxembourg once again going for visuals first and everything else second #LSC

First live NF song of the year for me, and it's a stage show b side... #LSC

As it stands, I'm going to do all of Sanremo, likely my usual NFs, and then I might just stay with the songs/acts I like and park it there - I'm not going to get any excitement after this point I expect

I'm trying to find more eloquency than "on your head be it", but it's not coming to me - I cannot wait for the EBU to have to face the mess they have caused by refusing to recognise exactly what letting that country participate represents

Also every year Fast Animals and Slow Kids are rumoured to be in, and every year I am left disappointed...

Breaking hibernation to pre-warn you all that if Fulminacci gets even a sniff of winning, I will become even more insufferable than usual during Sanremo week

(realise I sound odd only referencing one song - I've seen Daði before so have luckily heard his bops from esc live already, first time for Montaigne though!)

Seeing two of your fave singers (one from halfway around the world) just down the road from home is such a privilege, what a great night 💃

(hearing Don't Break Me live, my fave from 2020, may have changed me forever)
