Yeah, such people are such a good example to us all

Yeah, or Saudi Arabia on women's rights commission ...... oh wait....

I was thinking the exact same thing . Come on users, let's get our Mokorotlos on

3 dead, 365,000 homes without power.... national emergency declared and all public services and almost all places of employment are closed across the whole island. Schools will remain closed tomorrow. I am returning to Ireland by ferry tomorrow morning from Scotland. Hoping it won't be cancelled as the storm is coming this way tonight.. It's worse not being at home during this in a way, you feel the worry more when you aren't there and just relying on updates. The storm is expected to hit my home place in the next hour so am keeping in contact with family to see how things are.

Yes, and I will (hopefully) be travelling back by sea to Ireland early next week

I am going to Scotland tomorrow so I am planning to listen to the TISC entries on my journey . Maybe I just fluked it last time guessing your 12 points. I just had a feeling but maybe this time my psychic senses will desert me

I haven't started listening to the songs yet so the answer to that is no

Thanks a million for re-submitting a new entry and keeping Malta with us as an ever-present

Yes, same thing happens to me when I access it on my phone (on my laptop it's ok). I probably should have hidden the videos in spoilers to prevent that from happening. In the meantime you will find playlists for the contests on Youtube (I think only the first edition is missing). I don't have any lists of the Festival of Music songs however, I guess we could start adding those to the history thread too for future contests. I seriously need to overhaul that TISC history thread and make it neater and add more info..... after the old website went down I just wanted to add the history on here ASAP so it wasn't lost. Unfortunately we lost some songs from the first edition in the move..... Romania, Slovakia and Lebanon. No one seems to remember these.

@Glen I think Malta competed with this song at TISC Open in 2015?

Poland?

Ahh, that makes sense to me now . #NeverForget

Wait, what?

Commentator saying regularly that any team winning 9/10 matches (Switzerland) deserves to be at the World Cup.... well no, the groups were very imbalanced. I doubt they would have won 9 games in any other group.

Haha, I understand .

Have you ever played darts? And by played I mean thrown darts at a dartboard, nothing too serious

I can only imagine that non-darts fans on here in countries where darts is not traditionally popular are probably reading this thinking, "what is wrong with you people, what's so interesting about darts?". If only they knew

We are always unseeded

I think Northern Ireland have dropped into the unseeded pot, the defeat to Norway didn't help. I hate seedings in play-offs btw. Seedings should only be used for group allocation, all second place teams should be there on merit in the play-offs after that.

Too bad we can't have an all-Ireland derby / fight to the death .

Thank you so much buddy . And I am so sorry for Slovakia, I would not wish it on anyone. I hate this system of best second placed teams, it's unfair

I see the schedule was updated to show that the Grand Final will be held on Saturday 18th November.

Faroe Islands are a different beast to Gibraltar though..... I mean, who would fail to beat such a team? @hckosice Sorry buddy, I couldn't resist.

Or if Greece fail to beat Gibraltar Or if Serbia lose to Georgia. Both very unlikely If both of those matches you mentioned end in a draw then Wales are out (Group D are the worst 2nd place group)..... unless Serbia lose in which case Wales may overtake them on goal difference and qualify to the World Cup leaving Serbia out too...... so many permutations, most of them unlikely
