Really enjoyed Halloween (1978) at cinema tonight. Also the first time I saw the film. Just kind of annoyed that a lot of fellow movie-goers couldn't cope with "cheesiness" of old movies, what caused laughter at parts that certainly weren't intended to be funny.

Looks like the Bougainvillean independence referendum should go as planned next year, as the referendum question has finally been confirmed. Do you agree for Bougainville to have: (1) Greater Autonomy (2) Independence?

12 points from Croatia.

Pretty sure is the only longterm participant who never finished outside of top 20. That's crazy. You probably have a lot of friends, neighbours and emotional ladies songs.

No way! I actually have Canadian songs from both 2013 Open and 2014 Annual on my playlist. Despite not participating at those contests and having only 110 songs on a playlist in total...

Netherlands is otherwise REALLY consistent. Maybe the users are just giving points because Netherlands. I'm surprised though that the Dutch have never won 3 medals in a row.

Will be watching Night of the Living Dead tonight.

This sounds way too idealistic however.

Welp, again Russia and China took the remaining spoils. I guess Canada underperformed on beam mostly.

Nowadays it's just cool to complain about everything. Just like it's super cool to feel offended 24/7.

So, after a nice live stream on Youtube we had yesterday, today's final is blocked?

And I remember now that I also entered 2014 Open but forgot to put forward a song. So... I've seen it all.

I entered 2013 Open, but got disqualified for not sending the votes, so there's that.

Btw, is there some practical restriction for a contest to end at 3 p.m.? Final session with 10 min intervals looks quite stacked.

It's a little late , but I finally got to it. TISC Records matched or broken during the 2018 Annual Grand Final: Highest number of participants (Annual): 42 – 2018 Annual Lowest number of 12-point scores awarded to the winner: 1 – Italy (2018 Annual) Longest medal less streak**: 39 – India (2014 Open), Italy (2014 Open), Indonesia (2018 Annual) Longest pointless streak: 38 – Venezuela (2018 Annual) Longest pointless streak (time*): 456 minutes (7 hours 36 minutes) – Venezuela (2018 Annual) * Only voting periods are considered. Scheduled breaks are excluded. ** Only nations that won a medal at the respective contest are considered. Highest number of entries over the 100 points threshold: 12 – 2018 Annual Lowest ranking for an entry that received a maximum 12-point score (Annual): 34th – Malta (2018 Annual) Other all-time TISC Records can be reviews here.

It has been updated now. Everything except this page is updated now. This one will too get updated shortly.

Yes, perhaps it should indeed be on Team Captains to decide the swapping (if one of their members has unreasonable voting time).

It was actually. Priority will be given to swaps within the team (only the relay running order can change).

Medals.

1:0 for Lavreysen vs Glaetzer.

Bertram and Molly are back.
