So you're now an expert in the food standards of USA, Brazil and South Africa? Maybe work on your comprehension skills, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-read your sentence I have no idea about the food standards of those nations but considering the processed shite the US lives on, the lack of produce available to Brasilians and the fact South Africans will eat anything they kill, I would say Britian is deep in the shite if that's what the Tories are going to be feeding up to you.

Until then, they can import my balls into their gobs. Your balls will be covered by the trade deal with china and probably go quite well with British cheese.

Sonatine 13487 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 You'd think the penny would have dropped years ago that sending over naff songs, which are then poorly performed, isn't a great way to pick up points 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 22505 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Three Commonwealth countries didn’t give UK a point Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Israel (they’ve just finished murdering the people they keep in an open prison but still got 100+ points ) etc didn’t give UK a point Nothing to do with Brexit, UK sent an atonal potato to croak along to a backing track that sounded like a three minute cry for mercy just before a lethal injection. Try sending someone with talent, charisma and a decent song next time Having said that, it was the first time I’d watched it since I was old enough to drink and it was better than all the Newcastle United games I’ve watched this season put together Voted for Ukraine. Liked Azerbaijan very much indeed. There was about 10 very decent acts/performances, including the winners Italy who looked a bit like extras from Velvet Goldmine who’d recruited Lenny Kravitz to play guitar. Switzerland song was insipid wank, liked the French Edith Piaf girl though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it's exactly the same as the jury vote - each country gives points from 1-12 to the top ten in their respective phone votes - except instead of going to each country individually to call them in, they lump them all on at the end for dramatic effect. I think the idea is also that it hides some of the worst excesses of neighbourly voting, although the juries are just as bad at that, so I'm not sure it does really. It does mean you have to go on the Eurovision website afterwards and drill down into the data if you want to see how each country's public voted. Which, of course, we have done. The nearest we got to a point with the public was our 14th place in the Maltese vote. Bless you, Valletta. The Polish jury had us 11th though. So near and yet so far.

Alex 42155 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Yep. And it’ll be spun as the EU being unreasonable for making the UK stick to the what it signed up to, what its MPs voted for and for what the voters endorsed (arguably at least and certainly under our electoral system) in the last general election 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
