Wow, this lady has absolutely the best song of the night. I remember when hosted a couple of years back & some grijzaards singing Ding Dang Dong blew everyone else away.

The best thing about Eurovision is that you will never have to listen to these songs again.

Here are the votes of the Edinburgh Jury.

Entry is officially…not as crap as they usually are.

Yeah, but & are neighbours & we totally hate each other.

Totally the best so far.

Very modest only pretending to play three instruments. I’d have pretended to play a sitar & tuba as well.

I’m with you, first 25 secs were the best.

“And this one means, I’ll have the octopus salad”

Bet nobody noticed that was the Royal Family!

Spolier: gave 12 & vice versa.

Was saying elsewhere this was a typical song, just not with guitars.

Tense moments here in as the FA Cup Final over-runs & almost overlaps Eurovision.

Ukraine to win & Mariupol Opera House to host in 2023.

Phew, we don’t want any issues with Eurovision coming up!

Double win for - Georgia Taylor Brown in the women’s, Alex Yee in the men’s.

Definitely did. Vadlejch 8m down on the record, though,

Going to reignite some debates.

Pole Vault in Doha postponed due to high winds will compete tomorrow indoors. Good news is that in the technical events it is still three best only in the sixth round of the technicals, but scores from rounds 1-5 do now carry forward. Alison dos Santos continues to impress with a 47.24 in the 400h. Doha takes a radical new approach to the whole uneven lines issue in the big throws by having no lines at all. Aha! Last minute change of direction. Javelin throwers taking advantage of the wind! Peppering the 90m line, if there was a line. Woah! Anderson Peters 93.07 AR! 5th on the all-time list! World Indoor HJ Champ Woo continues his breakthrough year with a first timer at 2.33. Tamberi out early, though.

Canoe Slalom mainstay David Florence retires after 21 years in the National team. 3 Olympic Silver, 3 WC Gold.

Here in the West, many people think women can have penises. Nobody, in the history of the world, going back to the days if the cro-magnons, has ever believed anything as crazy ad that. Yet here in , I can go to jail for denying it.

They always say they’re giving marks “for good defense”. It’s crazy, in what other martial art do you get marks for defense? If you don’t defend yourself, you end up on your back, that’s how you tell if someone’s defending.

This is hilariously out of touch, given that The WNBA exists as a tax write-off, it always runs at a loss. Their relentlessly Marxist take on everything bar their own convenience. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10810339/Fly-commercial-said-Breanna-Stewart-slams-WNBAs-refusal-use-chartered-flights.html#comments
