So if you are bored while I go to eat something, you can watch this video of a man eating street food in Budapest. Nice, this should be informative. I had planned to visit Budapest this Spring. It failed, but still hopefully I will be going this year. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,195 Posted May 7, 2022 Author #776 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Session 1 Summary I will post a bit of summary after every session. For this session I won't reveal which countries got the most points because you can already see that on the scoreboard. But I do want to show the progression of the nations during the session that ended up in the Top10 by the end of it. Malta 13th 20th 3rd 5th 2nd 2nd 2nd 1st 1st Spain 3rd 1st 1st 1st 1st 1st 1st 2nd 2nd Brazil 13th 23th 27th 19th 9th 5th 7th 5th 3rd Colombia 13th 6th 10th 9th 4th 3rd 3rd 3rd 4th Finland 12th 22th 15th 4th 3rd 4th 4th 4th 5th Mexico 9th 17th 4th 2nd 5th 6th 5th 6th 6th Argentina 1st 2nd 5th 10th 12th 12th 6th 7th 7th Italy 7th 12th 13th 16th 8th 10th 10th 12th 8th China 5th 8th 2nd 3rd 7th 9th 11th 13th 9th Great Britain 13h 23th 27th 30th 23th 27th 19th 8th 10th hckošice and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will the two weekends split votes and hand the victory over to Ireland. We have seen that movie before. Ed Sheeran? Surely not after the Mendes-gate? Weekend always wins before other days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,195 Posted May 7, 2022 Author #779 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The Bells Are Ringing It's noon in Hungary, which is the time when the bells are ringing for the Siege of Belgrade (Nándorfehérvár), which happened in 1456. The Pope ordered the Christian countries to ring the bells at noon for Belgrade when the Ottomans attacked Hungary. They knew that if Belgrad would fall the entire country would fall with it and with that Ottomans would march on forward to Western Europe. The Ottomans suffered great losses and lost the siege, which delayed the Ottoman advances in Europe by half of a century. The Hungarian army was led by János Hunyadi, who's seen as one of the most legendary figures in Hungarian history. To this day the bells ring for this victorious battle in Hungary every day at noon. The bells even ring on the national TV and radio at noon. konig, mrv86, heywoodu and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,557 Posted May 7, 2022 #780 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The bells ring at noon every single day? Huh, never heard of that before. Kind of reminds me of the daily ceremony at the Menenpoort in Ieper (Belgium), where every single day at 20.00h the Last Post is played to remember the victims of World War I.
