- Alan (Giraffes)
Damn you, foot, why are you tapping?
- Amy
You know, Jeward are bound to come out at some point and start poking people, singing over the top of them and causing a riot. That's all part of their act, just because this is Eurovision they cant NOT do that, right?
- Simon Wicks
*bobbing head*
- sofarsoShawn <Jell-O>

- Amy

- Simon Wicks
I always wondered how foreign people sing and how they rhyme. Like, do they hear the rhyme in their own language
- Alan (Giraffes)
HUGE shift in the harmony from Gangstar to vocals
- sofarsoShawn <Jell-O>
Does the rhyme have to be in English for it to be a rhyme?
- Alan (Giraffes)
Better than we do, I'd hope?
- Amy
or can you rhyme bonjour with ya poo?
- Alan (Giraffes)
im sure they could rhyme their own language
- Simon Wicks
Can they?
- Alan (Giraffes)
But the song is english, for the most part,
- Simon Wicks
Yeah. That must be a problem
- Alan (Giraffes)
No to solely English, many of them are using HEAVILY accented French
- sofarsoShawn <Jell-O>
FIIIREEEEEE
- Simon Wicks

- sofarsoShawn <Jell-O>
Blue do have some good support in Europe; it might get some decent support but yeah, it's not great.

Yep, that happened in 2007 when gas spiked to $145 a barrel and was a major cause of the economic crisis that we are still dealing with today.

Yeah. Its beyond a joke. I know I keep repeating this, but there is no other way to describe it. We pay a road tax, and luckily Im in the 2nd lowest band where its just £30 a year and its based on emissions. None of the tax raised here gets spent on roads are the UK's roads are getting worse and worse.

One last thing America. See when an item is labelled as $1 I only want to pay $1, not $1.07. Stop adding tax later. Do it before!!!

I know it's a hassle for the shops who have branches in different states. But I'm the consumer. Make my buying experience easier. :)

Visible separate tax is always better. Hidden tax just doesn't allow people to get quite as indignant about paying it. In some jurisdictions it cannot be included in the price by law.
- Brian Sullivan
There are many invisible taxes. Gasoline tax, for instance. Also, cigarette taxes are included in the price but you know when it's $5/pack, there has to be a tax in there somewhere!
- Morton Fox
Incidentally, if the sales tax were included in the price, you'd still pay $1.07 because that's how it'll be labeled. Either that or you'll pay $1 but get less product, which is just as bad. Better to try to lower the sales tax than to sweep it under the rug.
- Morton Fox
Some places do include the tax in the advertised prices - movie theatres pretty much always do, for both tickets and concessions. I was somewhere the other day and it surprised me not to have tax added...gas station, maybe, buying candy? I don't remember. I prefer it already added in, too, and rounded. I hate dealing with pocket change.
- Jandy
Move to Alaska, New Hampshire, Oregon, or Delaware. :)

It was a good goal but I want Korea to get a draw out of this at least for their discipline in the first half.
- Mark H
Discipline? 11 men defending?
- Alan (Giraffes)
Yup straight into the goal.
- Eivind
When you're being attacked by a superior side you defend. You can defend in a disciplined manner that limits your opponent's attack, or you can not bother. They chose the former. They also play the ball out rather than thumping it up field. So, yes, disciplined. Good tactics, executed as well as can be expected.

Rochelle, that's our Graham Norton.
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh, he's on now.

- Mark H
Hahaha. Graham Norton is a legend. He's basically said this was recorded yesterday this little interview. hahaha
- Alan (Giraffes)
He was not told they were going to come an chat to him, hehe.
- Kol Tregaskes
We get some Graham Norton show on BBC America but I've never watched it.
- Rochelle
It's quite racy I would think, Rochelle.
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh, it's "The Graham Norton Show" that's on here.
- Rochelle
This Georgia song sounds like something from a Disney movie.
- Rochelle

Synchronised blopping.
- Kol Tregaskes
This sounds like English J-Pop.
- Rochelle
Ukraine: I liked this in the semi. A bit quirky.
- Mark H
Is this girl wearing anything?
- Alan (Giraffes)
What's J-Pop? I'm completely out of the loop with this "pop" music thing.
- Kol Tregaskes
All she needs a pentagram and some goat ;)
- Alemsah Ozturk
J-Pop = Japanese Pop.
- Mark H
Kol, Japanese pop music.
- Rochelle
Nice hood.
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh right.
- Kol Tregaskes
It all sounds just like Iceland's song, except in Japanese.
- Rochelle
Sweet People? The band or the song?
- Eivind
Bring back the volcano, please je ne sais pas!!
- Citronella
ahhh, the wind ...
- Alemsah Ozturk

- Alemsah Ozturk
She missed one or two notes but generally OK. Better than most.

Not bad this one.
- Kol Tregaskes
France: this one's catchy.
- Mark H
Ukraine's song is good.
- Uğur GÖK

- Alan (Giraffes)
Yep Kol, I am agree.
- Alemsah Ozturk

I hope you're all memorising the dance steps for the club scene in the Summer.
- Mark H

- Uğur GÖK
Subtitles - LOL

- Kol Tregaskes
WOW. I mean really WOW. This song took me so wildly back...

- Rochelle
Where, when? I must have missed them, Alemsah. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Even the rhythm of the song is sexy. Well played...
- Umut Gultekin
a little bit angelina jolie, can we say, guys ?
- Alemsah Ozturk
Folk-influences typically do well at Eurovision. Not sure about giant apricot props.
- Mark H
WTF is apricot props?
- Rochelle
LOL!
- Kol Tregaskes
Apricot stones hidden in my head?
- Rochelle
Someone has opened the door again.

The internet stream is breaking up, too.
- Rochelle
I like her voice
- Alemsah Ozturk
Germany is really good.
- buraKargın
Feels kinda like previous year with this song....
- Umut Gultekin
she reminds me of Paloma Faith
- Charley M
Love the german song
- Citronella
Charley, yeah sort of.
- Kol Tregaskes
but the stage design and performance is weak and these are important things.
- Alemsah Ozturk
although her accent is very strange
- Charley M
I've actually heard this song before. That's a first tonight.
- Eivind
The plain black dress was a poor choice. Needs more glitter and bling.
- Rochelle
Charley, yeah what is that about?
- Kol Tregaskes
She misses a violin.
- Umut Gultekin
is almost cockney!
- Charley M
Isn't this Australian accent? I am almost sure...
- Umut Gultekin
I don't like.

It was almost Bjork-like English.
- Mark H

They're free to choose which language to sing in?
- Eivind
This is awful.
- Kol Tregaskes
Eivind, yep.
- Kol Tregaskes
The singer can be from any country too but I think the writer needs to be from that country. I'm sure our resident Eurovision expert will tell us. Mark, over to you. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
No idea.
- Mark H
The Israeli song has a lot of support but I thought it was dreadful in the semi. See if it's any better now...
- Mark H
So far so bad.
- Kol Tregaskes
Boooooooooring.
- Rochelle
You said it.
- Mark H
Please no more Disney songs
- Alemsah Ozturk
Help, someone please stop it!
- Kol Tregaskes

They've only done voting for 19 of the 39 countries so far.
- Rochelle
Half way.
- Kol Tregaskes
I liked France and Iceland and they're not doing so well right now. :(
- Rochelle
a Drunk German Girl....having flashbacks here to backpacking days....
- Alan (Giraffes)
Rochelle, are you getting the adverts now or the back stage stuff?
- Kol Tregaskes
Backstage. They're interviewing the drunk German girl.
- Rochelle
LOL, Giraffe.
- Kol Tregaskes
OK. Yeah we're getting that too. Parts of Europe are supposed to be getting adverts.
- Kol Tregaskes
I know we're used to the disappointment, but why do the UK plough so much money into this show when we do so bad? Shouldnt we sit back and just attempt to get through the semi's. Maybe we'd care more about our song?
- Alan (Giraffes)
Belgium is doing that well? I'm shocked. That guitar guy was awful.
- Rochelle
bulgaria's 10 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
rochelle, you're obviously right.
- Yalçın Erdemir

Look at the boobs on Miss Ukraine!!!
- Alan (Giraffes)
ukraine's 8 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Ukraine has good genes.
- Mark H
last years thred got bumped the other day
- Simon Wicks
UK slightly ahead of Ireland
- Nils Sandin
The crowd are booing.
- Kol Tregaskes
Another 'great' night that was. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
More booing for Russia!
- Kol Tregaskes
What is Malta wearing?
- Kol Tregaskes
There was booing in the semi when Russia went through too.
- Mark H
12 points to the UK?
- Kol Tregaskes
Wow, that Malta woman? Wow.
- Rochelle
Noooo!
- Kol Tregaskes
1182 comments last year : http://friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Simon Wicks
Thats UK officially not won it.
- Alan (Giraffes)
What the heck is that Malta lady wearing?
- Nils Sandin
Graham Norton FTW.
- Mark H
norway's 2 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Its impossible for UK, Ireland and Belarus to win it.
- Alan (Giraffes)
We need to catch up then, Simon. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Giraffe, really? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Germany got this one in the bag surely now.
- Kol Tregaskes
LOL, Graham Norton.
- Kol Tregaskes
Graham Norton: "SRSLY?"
- Alan (Giraffes)
I feel sad for anyone who doesn't get Graham Norton commenting. :)
- Kol Tregaskes
lithuania's 4 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
The only commentary I have here is Akiva's.
- Rochelle
Im getting excited for the "Race to Double Figures" between UK and Ireland. Its gonna be close!!! *BITES NAILS*
- Alan (Giraffes)
Hehe, Rochelle.
- Kol Tregaskes
belarus's 3 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
At least we are beating Ireland.
- Kol Tregaskes
More booing.
- Kol Tregaskes
Why are they booing Russia?
- Kol Tregaskes
switzerland's 3 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Because the song was shit.
- Mark H
Ireland get 6!
- Kol Tregaskes
noooooooooooooooo
- Simon Wicks
why the russia beating?
- Charley M
I reckon Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland all submit their own entries, and we all vote for each other?
- Alan (Giraffes)
That Russian song was awful.
- Rochelle
We're second from bottom.
- Kol Tregaskes
And probably because their neighbors Belarus gave them 12
- Nils Sandin
Giraffe, good plan.
- Kol Tregaskes
belgium's 6 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Russia booing because of the constant yearly abuse from them. They always commanded votes from their neighbours, and the voting always failed. You had Georgia and such always giving them full points in fear of political stances.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Scott Mills!!
- Kol Tregaskes
Looking very orange today.
- Kol Tregaskes
uk's 10 point's for turkey. i love british english :D colour and favourite with the letter U :)
- Yalçın Erdemir
opa
- Simon Wicks
opa uk ;)
- Citronella
This is it! If Germany get 12 points, they have won it.
- Alan (Giraffes)
:-)
- Kol Tregaskes
netherlands's 8 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Germany have won. Boooooooooooo. Its Official now.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Yep. I thought it was OK but liked Turkey's more.
- Kol Tregaskes
Israel guy sounded like Dale Winton
- Alan (Giraffes)
israel's no point's for turkey. the fucking terrorists!
- Yalçın Erdemir
Hehe.
- Kol Tregaskes
She's scary!
- Kol Tregaskes
I think mathematically Germany has won.
- Nils Sandin
She?
- Mark H
LOL, Mark.
- Kol Tregaskes
Nils, most definitely.
- Kol Tregaskes
I reckon Belarus will steal some votes at the end. Leaving UK at the bottom.
- Alan (Giraffes)
macedonia's 10 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Belarus are now 1 point behind UK. Sheesht.
- Alan (Giraffes)
3 points for Belarus. Close at the bottom.
- Kol Tregaskes
moldova's 0 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
Georgia will give points to Belarus. UK will be bottom.
- Alan (Giraffes)
3 points!!
- Kol Tregaskes
10 points for UK!
- Kol Tregaskes
WTF?!?!?! 3 POINTS
- Alan (Giraffes)
Double figures.
- Kol Tregaskes
F*CK YEAH!
- Alan (Giraffes)
I'm going to faint.
- Kol Tregaskes
georgia's 5 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
We're bottom!!!
- Kol Tregaskes
WOOOOOOOOOT. IM AWAY TO GET DRUNK! *opens bottle of Champagne*...
- Alan (Giraffes)
WAIT. WAHT.
- Alan (Giraffes)
last!
- Simon Wicks
we're last!!!
- Charley M
*PUTS LID BACK ON CHAMPAGNE*
- Alan (Giraffes)
last again ;-)
- Nils Sandin
sweden's 5 point's for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
LOL
- Eivind
Poor UK! That song was awful but there were worse songs.
- Rochelle
Agree, Rochelle.
- Kol Tregaskes
Rochelle. Its all because of the Iraq war because we supported it. I challenge anyone in here to prove me otherwise :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
Please help us Armenia.
- Kol Tregaskes
armenia hate us. its 0 point's of course for turkey.
- Yalçın Erdemir
not wanting to bring the convo down, but since we went to War in Iraq, the UK has struggled big time.
- Alan (Giraffes)
There we go, last again!
- Kol Tregaskes
and ill leave it at that! :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
Well at least you got second. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Well, nice theory Giraffes but then how do you explain last year's result?
- Mark H
great result
- alper kenet
yeah man :D
- Yalçın Erdemir
It was a fluke. Andrew Lloyd-Webber payed Europe off... and we still didn't win. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Mark, It was because Webber payed them off.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Yes. See, Kol knows!!!
- Alan (Giraffes)
And we're no cynical. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Congrats, UK! :)
- Eivind
LOL, Giraffe.
- Kol Tregaskes
:)
- Citronella
Hehe, Eivind.
- Kol Tregaskes
Where did Greece come?
- Kol Tregaskes
Are they going to let the drunk German girl speak?
- Rochelle
Germany are probably the only country who can afford to hold them next year. The UK just announced 6billion pound cuts. I doubt the ConDems would allow us to spend £30million hosting it! Haha.
- Alan (Giraffes)
8th, Kol!
- Citronella
why lena is so confused? :D
- Yalçın Erdemir
Not too bad, Greece was one of my favourites.
- Kol Tregaskes
heh... UK bottom of the pile. When are we gonna just stop with the crap songs and get someone like Radiohead or Muse to perform?
- alphaxion
Radiohead on Eurovision would be amazing! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@ alphaxion. No, what we need is Alphabeat
- Alan (Giraffes)
Im gonna start a petition for "My Lovely Horse" to be UK Entry next year.
- Alan (Giraffes)
She is completely drunk! This song is going to be fun. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
The Fall on Eurovision? I think getting Mark E Smith to be on there would really represent our approach to the show ;)
- alphaxion
The drunk satellite :)
- Citronella
Is she really going to sing again? While that drunk?
- Rochelle
Yep, could be interesting.
- Kol Tregaskes
Wow!
- Rochelle
ficken drunk woman wins that gay contest :)
- Yalçın Erdemir
Germany Song - http://open.spotify.com/track...
- Alan (Giraffes)
Oh thanks for that, Giraffe. :-) Added immediately. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hahahaha. :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
It is a really catchy song.
- Rochelle
The track is not available in Norway. WTF?
- Eivind
she has an odd voice.. a random irish accent pops into the mix :S
- alphaxion
Should we let the Americans join in next year? Considering Israel takes part as does half the middle east. I dont see it being a problem.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Alpha, it's a right mixture.
- Kol Tregaskes
She just went cockney again.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yay! The end.
- Rochelle
I need a lie down.
- Kol Tregaskes
heh... I guess getting the US into the competition would put someone more hated into the mix than we Brits!
- alphaxion
We should just send The Proclaimers next year.
- Alan (Giraffes)
if she sang in German the accent would be right!
- Charley M
same time next year then yeah?
- Simon Wicks
Only 5 minutes late this year.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yep.
- Kol Tregaskes
Bitte sehr!
- Eivind
Well, considering last years competition was 1 year and 2 weeks ago. God knows when it will be!
- Alan (Giraffes)
lol!it was fun :D
- Citronella
Fun wasn't the word that came to mind. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Channel 4 now for Lee Evans :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
The important thing is: I won money off the bookmakers. Sky Comedy for me now; Starsky And Hutch movie will finish the evening off nicely.
- Mark H
822 comments now :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
I forgot about Lee Evans. See the show before, very, very funny.
- Kol Tregaskes
Well done, Mark. At least someone in the UK has won.
- Kol Tregaskes
This thread is what should be used as "Reasons to still use Friendfeed" :)
- Alan (Giraffes)
:-)
- Kol Tregaskes

- Nils Sandin
This thread helped me live through it tonight. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Let's keep going. We're quite close to A THOUSAND comments!
- Eivind
I jinxed it. Damn!
- Eivind
Just checked there. Theres nothing standing in the way for Scotland to enter the Eurovision by themselves. STV have the rights to enter a Scottish Entry.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Typical Fecking Germans. Look at how they celebrate!!! - http://twitpic.com/1s9e9x
- Alan (Giraffes)
Hey, that's just a screen-grab as he was waving to the crowd!
- Nils Sandin
LOL
- Eivind
Amy, yeah, these are always good each year. No exception last night, was quite a laugh. :-)

Hello Friendfeeders. I apologise for not being here lately but its Buzz's fault. I know my Twitter posts direct here and I sometimes forget that it comes here until I get an e-mail saying that one of the more dedicated users here like or comment on something Ive tweeted about. But since Google Buzz came along, it was total overload for me....

and i couldn't cope with Buzz shouting at me telling me all the same stuff I was getting here and there, getting asked to Like things, it was all a bit too much. These days, i find myself just clicking Read All in Google Reader and then i feel as though Im clued up on every single possible news story there, all the other feeds i subscribe to and so on. It just feels like theres too much happening every minute of everyday.

Every 2nd article seems to be about the iPad and its being shoved down my throat. If its not the iPad, its all about Gizmodo / iPhone / Vietnam Leaks / Another person murdered because of Facebook / England and the World Cup / I could go on for ever.
- Alan (Giraffes)
Anyway, how are you all?
- Alan (Giraffes)
And one other thing is it seems all my friends from High School finally made the switch from Bebo / Myspace / Friends Reunited or whatever, onto Facebook. Sigh.

Way too many social sites now. I can't get into Buzz atm, needs a few features. FF it is for me.

BBC News - David Cameron to be UK's new prime minister #ge2010 - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...
Lit, FALOB, Nispell and Jeff (Team マクダジ ) liked this
"Conservative leader David Cameron is at Buckingham Palace to accept an invitation from the Queen to form a new government. He is poised to become Britain's new prime minister after Gordon Brown resigned. Mr Cameron's Conservative Party won the most seats in the UK general election last week, but not an overall majority. They have been in days of negotiations with the Lib Dems - who were also negotiating with Labour. But the Lib Dems said those talks failed because "the Labour Party never took seriously the prospects of forming a progressive, reforming government"."

Finally, we have our new PM. We're still awaiting the news of the deal (or lack thereof) with the Liberal Democrats.

What do you think would happen if the US government decided to devalue the dollar significantly to reduce our debt burden?

I wonder what China's reaction to such a thing would be.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Heh, Johnny, I'm just wondering if such a move would lead to hostilities or a cyberwar.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I'm afraid China will be rather THE problem.
- Отборнейший бред
There would be a lot of griping on the internet.
- John (bird whisperer)
Yep, China is the biggest issue, with trying to use devaluation as a tool, their currency is linked to ours, so that debt, through devaluation stays neutral.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Johnny, it has nothing to do with China doing a thing, if the US was to devalue it's currency, China takes the hit, in the value of their currency, the ratio remains near 1:1, and 1/3 of the US debt remains unaffected by devaluation. China isn't involved at all in any decision making over this, it's a US government decision.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
The US dollar underpins the world ecconomy. Anything the US does to it's dollar shakes the world. Alex asked what would happen, I say the flow on effects would be huge. You now have African counties, with strong ties to the dollar, suddenly hit with debt they have no chance of repaying. Look at Greece. You get one country defaulting, that's bad. Get a few and the financial system of the world collapses. No decision happens in a bubble.

For me personally, I think what would happen is that I'd have to put off international travel even longer. No clue what would happen for the world at large, except for EVERYBODY PANIC!

1 Tory seat in Scotland. No change from 2005 election. Good result. #keepthetoriesoutofscotland
Guid auld Scotland.
- Spidra Webster
Too right. Ive swore in my last few tweets, but im sick of it. If the Tories do take control, they are a controlling party of the United Kingdom, but they only hold 1 seat in Scotland. Its sickening. I can see Independence looming. The days of Thatcher brought hardship to Scotland with the poll tax. I was too young for it to affect my income, but words of warning from older relatives never to let them back in charge is enough for me to not vote for them.

Chris Moyles vs Scott Mills (particularly on the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 1).
EBJT, "Fatih !", Chatsohbet and Nispell liked this
I prefer Scott, Chris talks too much though can be very funny, particularly with guests.
- Kol Tregaskes
Chris may talk more, but he's much more interesting. Chris also has much better taste in music. Scott thinks he's funny, but he's way too childish.
- James Myatt
I can't stand Chris' opening 'cheesy' tune, he's been using that for far too many years and no redo will help.
- Kol Tregaskes
The opening cheesy tune is epic. Its my sign of "you're early/late for work" If im in the car and i hear it, then Ill be on time for work. Chris is much easier to listen to. Scott (who is a nice guy and i got to see the Scott Mills Musical in Edinburgh earlier this year), you just feel he plays far too much r&b songs. Its a shame Mark Chapman has left the show.
- Alan (Giraffes)
I don't listen to either but Scott Mills was a local radio DJ around my parts (er, region (er, here in Hampshire (man, that's a lot of double entendres to avoid))) so he gets my vote.
- Mark H
Yeah, Mark Chapman is funny.
- Kol Tregaskes
I didn't realise Chappers has left, but I didn't find him funny either. But then I don't find "Comedy" Dave funny either.
- James Myatt
Moyles and Mills are two of my guiltiest pleasures.
- EBJT
Chappers is really being missed. I've heard Scot Mills and it's just not as good without Mark Chapman.

To be fair to the BBC this list is apparently according to the CIA and Americans do have a little bit of a reputation where geography is concerned. :)

Well Mark. I checked the CIA website. It says the UK is part of Europe. So maybe they got some geography lessons since April 2009 :)
