I thought it might be good to have a general chat thread, just for all kinds of stuff and for some general talk We didn't have it on the old forum, often resulting in these kind of things ending up in all kinds of other threads

It happens because high and cold mountains are close to considerably warmer sea. And that is especially crazy under the Velebit mountain. Official strongest measured gust was 248km/h. However, there is also an unofficial record of 307km/h from 2003. It's unofficial because instruments that measured it were not designed for such strong gusts.

I ja nisam nesto optimistican sto se Jokica tice ali realno Jokic nam jeste najbolji centar ali i bez njega imamo fenomenalnu ekipu, ne bih voleo da budem na Sasinim mukama.. Verujem da ce Marjanovic dobiti poziv ali da li ce biti u timu ne znam, trenutno bih pre na poziciju centra stavio Raduljicu i Kuzmica ali pripreme ce pokazati ko je spremniji!! Takodje se nadam da cemo opet imati 3 pleja Teo, Jovic i Pepi (da se okane penzije)

Teaser for Serbian song. Song title is In Too Deep. This is fucking good

Trebalo bi da odmori

SONG SELECTION DEADLINE EXTENDED BY 24 HOURS The deadline to enter the contest and select an eligible song has been extended until Midnight on the 6th March 2017, this is in order to allow @Jur the Spanish user an opportunity to pick a song since he has been active on the forum. Other nations yet to enter the contest will be allowed to enter during the extended song selection deadline. Once the clock hits midnight tomorrow the entry window will be closed and any country yet to pick a song will be disqualified. I hope this gives everyone who wants to participate in the contest the best opportunity to do so!

Wow!! Amazing 4th for Andrew Musgrave!! Our best ever result and only 1.5 seconds outside a medal!! Who would of thought that GB would be in the mix for a cross country skiing medal at the Winter Olympics next year. Incredible!

and as to pure predicting - ski jumping was tricky. After Asia i really thought we`re going down a bit and Germans are too strong. Norway? I didn`t expect it. And i thought it will be Kot who gets a medal for us instead of Żyła. Kot was looking dominant in Asia. I predicted Watabe`s medal when he was 4th and Austria on the podium in nc team sprint for example. It was all decided by details, very small differences. Thx to you all, especially to Tunisia!!

TWD yeah! the best show

We live in such bad times

Well... Terrorism isn't only the islamic terrorism For United Nations terrorism is : Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.

And in a non-sports-related news: Portugal runs for four days straight on renewable energy alone Zero emission milestone reached as country is powered by just wind, solar and hydro-generated electricity for 107 hours http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/may/18/portugal-runs-for-four-days-straight-on-renewable-energy-alone Had to share this!

I love how some sports federations are trying to geoblock viewiers from some countries from their broadcast on youtube because they sold the rights to some tv channel For example in theory FIVB broadcasts all women's OQT games live on youtube, but they are geoblocked in many countries. The Result? There have been like 5 additional live streams of the previous match Netherlands-South Korea, one of which had at one point about 8k viewers, whike the official one had at the same time about 3k And there as I said have been a few other streams... so basically they didn't only create larger audience for the TV transmission, they did not make profit either from a wider audience watching on Television, or on their channel where they could have had like four times more people watching, either. They just helped to create a bunch of pirated streams I know that's probably part of their deal with television, but they really should have learned something by now

Good results for extreme-right in Austria and Serbia Dark times are coming for Europe

Wow, and I was just reading today about her proposal for Tokyo 2020 Olympic stadium. It wasn't accepted because it was too expensive.

I just read these comments about the attack in Bruxelles, and just want to make a comment. Even though it is terrible what is happening (I do know a couple of people down in Bruxelles), we're still living in a world (at least Western Europe) where terrorism isn't and shouldn't be a part of everyday life. Just look at the 70's and 80's. These were much more dangerous times. Yes we're threatened by terrorists (mainly islamic, but also both left- and right-wing extremists) and these attacks most likely aren't the last ones to be planned, but in Western Europe we've only had 2 years with more than 100 casualties from terrorism on Western European soil since 1994 (both being because of single attacks (Madrid and Paris). This happened every single year between 1971 and 1992. I am not saying that we should take lightly on the threat, but if these very few attacks means that we drastically change both lifestyles and politics, we've taken them one step towards victory or at least our loss

I honestly don't see a problem For the song contests, I think is normal for the long waits, due to: trying to reach the maximum number of participants (not eveyone is here all the time); giving time for choosing a song to send (this will take time depending on your available time for it, and on the number of jurys your nation has because you have to reach some agreement); giving time for listening to ALL the songs; to allow the host to organize everything. I have only been in the previous contest, but I prefer a long wait and then have such a well organized event!
