EuroVision

[Dirty Dave Lincoln]

How about the Pogues song Navigator?[8D]

The Pirates song was brilliant and should have won. What are you on about, Spain was a superb pee-take and another possible winner! I also favoured Armenia and Ukraine, for purely aesthetic reasons...

The block voting thing puzzles me as I'd have thought that most of the countries concerned would have no love for each other. Certainly while Lativia, Lithuamia, Estonia, Finland and Poland will perhaps not be fond of Russia, ethnic Russins living in some of those countries will vote for the 'mother country'. However some of the other groups have recently been engaged ina bitter civil war. The power of Eurovision for reconciliation perhaps?

So what to do about it? War is of course one option. More measured responses might include a north-west Europe block. We would have to be reconciled with Germany and France of course.

Splitting the home nations would not work. Sorry Hosty but the Scots and English will never vote for each other.

Maybe no country in any one pre-defined block should be allowed to vote for another in that block?

This needs to be resolved, or I can see another Great War breaking out.

Yup... I'm a tad confused...

We may have been at each others throats.. causing a massive wave of human suffering.. but.. hey.. you can't beat a catchy tune

Whaddye mean the UK should win - it was rubbish!!! The tragedy was that Irelands "Turkey" was booted out at the semis stage. Finland was probably the best entry closely followed by the Latvian pirates for sheer silliness.

Jolly Rogers Go!

Of course one of the problems with the UK entry (and has been for many years) is that the powers-that-be seem to be stuck with inflicting blandness on the rest of Europe. What we need is a smart, up to the minute, rocking band that truly represents the modern UK.

Could I suggest Oi Va Voi or the Afro-Celtic Sound System.

At least then if our song comes last, us Brits will all know that we came last with a damn good song rather than a pile of cack.

Infact, maybe I will write to both bands and ask them to consider the possibility. I will post back any answers I get....
