For those of you planning to watch the Eurovision tonight, I've recorded a short podcast with some scene-setting thoughts, which you can listen to below.

I always vote for the small Independent countries, and I'm against the non- existent United kingdom
ReplyDeleteRidiculous comment.
DeleteSupposed to vote for the song aren't you?
DeleteYou can vote for whatever reason you want, in fairness.

ReplyDeleteLatest Redfield & Wilton poll on indy, looks like Yes on an extraordinary *49%* of the vote, truly remarkable resilience in the circumstances.
Very encouraging.
DeleteLooks more like 48% to me, it'll be 47% at the absolute minimum. As ever, the real numbers are buried somewhere in the data tables, I'll have a look and put up a blogpost after the Eurovision.
DeleteI gave myself 2 options:-
Delete1) Watch Eurovision.
2) Self- extract my troublesome tooth.
I went for option 2.
Option 3 is simply do not watch it. Back to your toys.
DeleteAnonymous May 11, 2024 at 8:48 PM - Aren't those two options the same?
DeleteI can't watch it because Scotland doesn't have its own entry. Like asking me to support a UK football team. I think we would do well. As the UK(England) is despised in Europe. We are not.
ReplyDeleteIt’s the only event that makes me happy we aren’t Independent.
DeleteIt’s only Nationalists that despise the English.
DeleteIt's but Anglo-American slop onyway
ReplyDelete. We hae oor ain richt music.
Very glad that UK got zero points from the voting public
ReplyDeleteI did nor like the UK singer or the performance which seemed in poor taste.
DeleteYes it was far too sexualized.
DeleteIt has gone downhill and is no longer family-friendly.
DeleteA bit like yourself. If what they tell me is true.
DeleteScotland has better taste.
ReplyDeleteFinland should have won. Everyone else who performed was a nut job.
ReplyDeleteSpain should have won.
DeleteCall yourselves a country? As if. Forget about World Cups, Scotland’s not even won won a Eurovision!
ReplyDeleteGrow some self respect and cheer for England.
Very disappointed by the hatred shown to Malta.
DeleteI watched Eurovision last night with my daughter. We both laughed a lot and the best song probably won although I thought the Croatian one was very catchy. Production values and bare body parts have increased exponentially since I last saw this (a fair few years ago to be fair).
ReplyDeleteI still can't get past the guys from Cyprus or somewhere being better in their sweater last year.
ReplyDeleteAnd the yodelling Andoran dentist! oh my word!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite was the whistling Faroese costermonger.
DeleteThink I remember reading the blog about your Eurovision misadventure at the time
