Scot Goes Popcast: Eurovision 2024
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.
Looks 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.
I 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.
I 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).
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.

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.

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.
