    Hello All.

    I'm guessing some old friends from the various Big Brothers, I'm a Celeb and Love Island threads are posting in here. Hope all is well.

    Ya, RTE cant afford to take the risk of a song winning, it was a typical forgetable Eurovision entry but it doesn't look like we are deliberatley trying not to win like when we sent Dustin.

    Anyway, looking forward to the 2 semis and the final, light entertainment at its finest, especially with this thread.

    Groningen.. I was asked to go there by a pig farmer's daughter on Erasmus here in 1998. I didn't go. Should have, she was nice.

    Most of those who vote just tune in for the craic (well the final anyway)

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    Why are they all sounding so vocally weak? Has something changed, not allowed use that autotune gizmo or something?

    I loved the recording but her live vocals were a bit dodgy, it still did well though.
    She was so young.

    I think a mic stand would have aided Belgium, aesthetically.

    She looked a bit in the ha'penny place just standing there.

    At least no boring little activists in the audience, I heard no boos for the Israelis.

    Noticed it myself there all struggling not a patch on the woman Estonia sent in 2018. That effort scored criminally low.
