No, not seen anything in advance. The UK always gets bad scores because we're not liked in Europe anymore. This year is likely to be the worst, due to Brexit, and I suspect we will score many NIL POINTS

Good to talk again

@Ironicman Hey, you guys won it a couple of times in the past 😅
And sometimes you just have the bearded lady go first... that's how it works 😅

At least the germans and the russians will be out of the heat, because of england... goooo england 🤗

@Kwek00 I'm really not up on Eurovision. Have we knocked them out?

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Ironicman 🤷‍♂️ the first semi finals is tonight

but my german friends are always complaining about how Europe is all against them
and well... The russians have been "boohed" 2 years in a row now... I thought it was pretty shamefull from the crowd. As if the artists are for some reason responsible for foreign policy.

It's a guilty pleasure of mine... I bought a lot of cheese, just to get by.

@Kwek00 I see and the UK get to go straight through because of our financial contribution. That doesn't seem right.

@Ironicman Bwa, I don't mind it that much.
The big 5 , they contribute to the party, they should be there.

It's more "folklore" annyway. Like some years you find a diamond in the rough. And some years it's just rough. lol

And some years the best songs just don't win, because of politics 🤷‍♂️
But I do like the entire folklore behind it, it's fun to see certain countries be all stereoptypical. Like some stuff, only the french can do as they do it. Or the Germans... It's a bit of a celebration of the chaotic pluralism that is the european continent.

@Kwek00 agreed, I always end up watching it and having a good old chuckle. There have been some great winners over the years.

@Ironicman A lot of good second places too :)

Common Linnets, lost against conchita wurst
Dami Im, lost Jamala

But yeah, like the french say... "entre les gouttes et les couleures on discute pas!"
