mossdog Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Time for the Brits to be blown out of the water again in the pop music stakes! The continentals seem to love to take a political swipe at us when it comes to this musical farce despite having produced some of the greatest pop/rock in the world for decades. What's betting we are in the last 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASGOWOODS Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Cameron will ensure we win! Then we will all fall in love with Europe and vote to stay. Personally, i would rather squat over a nest of fire ants with my dumplings swinging low, than watch this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is, we do not want to win it, so we enter absolute rubbish into the competition. If we won, we'd have to host it, and hosting it costs lots of money.

Incidentally, I taught Lindsey everything that she doesn't know about Chemistry. She's a lovely lass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face facts though, we not entering our premier musical performance artists are we. Until Radiohead are let lose on Eurovision, I won't believe that we take it seriously.

Guest Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) In recent years Britain has had poor results at the Eurovision because of how the voting system works. You can't vote for your own country from within your own country, but you can vote for your own country if you're in another country, so because there has been lots of movement of EU citizens, particularly eastern Europeans moving to western Europe, they're using this to their advantage, while Britain suffers due to there being relatively few Brits in other European countries. Ireland did so well for so long because of all the Irish people in Britain Germany and Spain. Edited May 10, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not viewer, but we've had englebert Humperdinck, blue and Bonnie Tyler amongst others if memory serves. They can hold a tune if nowt else. Hasbeens yes but I've no idea who or what they were competing against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
