No worries, just a little joke. I just have to try and try again

“Serbia is the most generous nation with Spanish songs (27 points), followed by Italy (19), Ireland (16)“ Checks to see what Ireland received in return....

True, and hopefully we will see plenty of music being released before then. I'll allow everyone to decide on it anyway.

And that reminds me, probably next week, once the dust settles on this, we will have a little poll to see what we should do about the Annual. I understand that with COVID that it has probably meant there's a lot less music to choose from so it might be good to allow the rules to be a bit more flexible for the year that's in it.... possibly extending the period of time to choose from. But we'll talk about that next week in the Discussion Thread.

What an epic contest, privileged to part of the drama right until the very end! Huge conrgratulations to Serbia for their first TISC victory, a dominant win by all means! Ireland salutes Irish Stew of Sindidun Congrats to Canada for their second medal of the year, a very impressive year for them with a gold and silver in both 2020 contests. And finally, so delighted for Malta on making it onto the TISC podium for the very first time. A great achievement for the tiny island nation who now has a shiny medal in their cabinet! It was great to be part of this historic moment also And finally, a big big big thank you to @heywoodu for all of his work in the last few weeks and for taking on the mantle of host. I have enjoyed every moment of this final, but throughout the whole edition, it has been a pleasure to be part of and thank you so much for your efforts! And now, you can take a breather and put your feet up for a well earned rest! Thanks to @dcro also for those entertaining interviews and for all the other little stats and things that just helps make TISC even more enjoyable. And as always, thank you to all who participated in the contest. I feel like we just keep getting stronger year after year, and it's great to see interest and enthusiasm is as high as ever. Just a final thank you to all who placed votes in the Irish basket, especially to @Vektor for giving me a very nice surprise with that 12 points! Enjoy the celebrations everyone!! Long live TISC

Thanks so much for the points Malta I think that means Malta wins the tie? And if so huge congratulations to @Glen.... you're on the podium

I actually think Malta is keeping this medal this time. Would be nice either way

I have my lawyers at the ready if this goes wrong

Oh boy, here we go again. Malta and Ireland swapping places all day. This is the real contest

Thank you so much for the 9 points Mexico

Good luck @Glen. Malta and Ireland have been battling all day long for this bronze medal, I just wish we could both be awarded a joint 3rd.

TISC Open 2019.

France

Thank you for the points France

Yes and as a farmer I bet you appreciate how good it tastes especially this time of year when you come in from the fields to a nice warm plate of stew

Like this.... well this is how I prefer it anyway and I like to add barley:

(Irish) stew... I'm actually not joking haha

Ok, well I do think that's a little weird. Is their stomach not growling all day at work? Especially if they are drinking coffee?

No "lunch" break, only one pause during the whole workday?
