Looks like UK and Ireland (not sure those terms are mutually exclusive) are fighting it out for the bottom 3 places.



Also - Does noone from the UK want to present Eurovision? Terry Wogan and now Graeme Norton present on the BBC.


It is a show that needs a bit of humour though, so I guess a uk presenter is ruled out.

Would we want to win this contest of the mediocre? To win would be embarrassing


Popular musically we can hold our heads up high with the Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin and Paper Lace all being from these shores.


Far better to put in a shite entry, come last and take the piss out of the whole thing.


Next years UK entrant has to be

That ....



"Winning" song by Germany was written by an english songwriter & performed in english ( with a silly impersonated moc irish twang )


Still, they've got all the pleasure of having it "blared" across the airwaves at them all summer long



Serves 'em right...



( Ooo don't get me started on the presenters, he looked like "pee wee Hermans" love child & ... )

Mind, my first loyalty is with Ireland.

Get Morrisey up there for 2011. Come on Steven Patrick, play up fer th' auld sod.

Even if he just rejigs a previous song, Everyday Is Like Good Friday, Swede&PotatoHead, The Last Of The Ganger Men To Die, just anything really.


Come on, Moz, it'd mean so much to us.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
