Fox News only care about how they look - the presenters that is - they all look like ads for botox and tooth whitening agents

C'mon even Fox news don't know Wales exists on their weather map of the UK. What hope for Eastern Bloc countries?

Do you think that will make a difference ??..... I am Welsh .
Do they think the Eastern Block know the difference ? We are all from UK.

Was that BBC or ITV cos they have different weather forecasts too !

I liked the original too but I don't know why we bother to enter, waste of money and if you were that bothered humiliation guaranteed.

Once Israel (Europe?) entered a transgender singer all credibility went out of the window. We should have chosen somebody really outrageous who crossed every PC boundary then we may have had a chance to score more highly. After all no country would wish to be seen as bigoted

I loved Bonnie Tyler when i was a teenager ,but what made me mad tonight was watching a piece on the welsh news,they say that she will score lots of points because they all know shes welsh and not . English so she wont get nil points because shes from wales,even though shes singing for the UK :-P

Bring it on Bonnie!!


It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
It's a fools' game, nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown.

It isn't in Europe it is Asia Minor.

The Europe handle is a hang over thing from when it was first tsarist possession and then a USSR republic and Russia decided where "Europe" was.

In any case David Cameron and William Hague believe nearby Turkey is in Europe while Bulgaria and Romania are clearly not.

A former foreign secretary, Douglas Hurd, believed that Serbia, Croatia etc were also clearly not in Europe and therefore NATO (an organisation founded to protect peace in Europe) had nothing to do.

FIFA / EUFA also have an elastic definition of Europe and it would be perfectly possible for Vladivostock to host a game if it had a good enough team.

So don't worry about your school geography.

Blondie should get all the BBC2 listeners bouncing away on the sofa anyway, smart move by the Beeb. She is up against some tuff stuff, the home team have a Black Sabbath heavy metal number ( rustling sounds as Blondie fans hide behind the sofa ).

Nul points, quelqu'un ?
