The hype train gets rolling...and then goes off the rails. With Ireland I don't suppose it even leaves the station, does it? Link to post Share on other sites

I've never known many songs like that, quite literally the only song I remember them ever singing but I still remember most the words. Even if a lot of them are oh-oh oh-oooooooohhhh!

Apocalyptica the following year as part of the "entertainment break" while the votes were being sorted was brilliant, the BBC didn't know what the *** to make of it 😂 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,327 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I literally have no idea how Australia and Isreal qualify for Eurovision maybe with Russia not being involved we might see a entrant from Japan! Link to post Share on other sites

Australia is in just because they love Eurovisision and it was something to do. Israel is in because they're part of the European Broadcasting Union, and that entitles them to entry, countries in North Africa could also submit entries if they wanted. Morocco has entered before. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ah ha well it is well known that broadcasting signals go very far so possibly one day day in the future we will have an entrant from Alpha Centuri!

Australia is associate members of EBU (but so is most of the world) Their love for ABBA probably dident hurt either, Sweden plays a big role in the Eurovision.... so some kissing our asses goes a long way 😜 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,641 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I'm irritated that the England match is only on Sky this afternoon. The Home Nations national team games should always be available on "free" TV, even if it is a friendly. Likewise irritated with the Scotland and Northern Ireland games, at least Wales is being shown on S4C at the same time as on Sky. Though I suspect that's possibly only because it's a competitive fixture. But then the Nations League games are already Sky only. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I always wondered the same thing - thanks for clearing that up. Still - seeing entries from countries that aren't European is still weird! Link to post Share on other sites
