Just proves that no one likes the UK! Our only allies are Ireland and even then Poland and Latvia came above us! Even though our song was much better than most! But Poland too, I thought was a good song but landlocked with only old USSR states and Germany who was not in it, they also fell foul of the voting!

Exactly, apparently nobody likes Poland either.. :-S I just cannot believe how such horrible songs like the one from Greece or Ukraine could get 3rd and 2nd places, even the Russian song was very mediocre. I thought that the German song was bad, but the UK had a nice one this year... something creepy is going on there!

Quoting catwoman:

Maybe that is not what he wanted to say, but with the way he chose to say it, it was clearly implied.



Catwoman, this sentence is contradicting itself, and you know that I didn`t mean all the Germans are nazis.

Latvia did come above UK, but it's probably because of that semi-pirate hymn they committed (yes, committed is a word used on purpose here). But Poland was not above you, we, you and Germany got 14 points so we made the bottom 3. It is the alphabet that put you in the final position.

Quoting Saskia1970:

If you are implying that German inhabitants / Germans are all nazi's, then I ask a mod to remove your (and mine because of quoting) posting. I find it most insulting - and I'm not German!


That post of tamikidakika was very insulting. I have removed it. Maybe that is not what he wanted to say, but with the way he chose to say it, it was clearly implied.



excuse me

but if you have deleted the post of tamikidakika, why this entry still stays here?

and while you are saying things about Turkey, and some friends of us gets upset and state their feelings, you were just saying how nationalistic the Turks are and how patronising they are...

till where we will continue with these double standards

There is nothing creepy going on at all! The contest is a joke because political allies and neighbours in Eastern europe will continue to vote for eachother - thereby ensuring that for the next 100 years, an Eastern European country will always win, and the likes of France, Belgium, UK, Netherlands, Spain etc. will always be at the bottom because they are "stupid" enough to vote for the songs they like! lol

I watched the contest for the first time in a few years and my sister was able to 95% predict the voting of the Scandinavian and Eastern European countries (even the order of the votes for each country!!!). Is she psychic? Nope! She just has a good knowledge of geography and european politics lol lol lol

Eastern europe has killed the contest. It used to be fun - crap songs and an unpredictable outcome. Now it is just crap songs and a predictable outcome!

PS My favourites were Turkey and Greece

Oh, I see! Well, the reason is that there are many more Polish immigrants here than the British ones. Still it remains a mystery why Latvia scored so much...I guess in a country where a turkey called Douglas wins national voting, pirates might do aaaaaaarrrrrriggghht lol
