  1. It just feels a bit flat to be honest. I dunno what it is but it’s just not connecting with me. And I’m not wholly opposed to the song but idk it didn’t seem to work. ISL - 10 PLN - 9 SLV - 0 EST - 5
  2. Bit early for a bathroom break but ok For the first time ever I can’t back Slovenia. I’m too cynical for sob stories. Been jaded by xfactor coz I just think they’re emotionally manipulative. If it wasn’t for Israel his wife appearing on stage at the end would the most blatant and tasteless manipulation of the contest And the song is boring as f*** ISL - 10 PLN - 9 SLV - 0
  3. Chaos vibes to start us off tonight. I’m here for it. This is vocally very impressive, but the running on camera was a bit questionable 9/10 ISL - 10 PLN - 9
  4. That was a f***ing mess. We have no choice but to stan
  5. Ok I like these hosts. They’re sympathisch and a bit funny
  6. Here we Here we HERE WE f***IN GOOOOOO
  7. Excited to kick off ESC! Really rooting for San Marino and Iceland in the first semi final and let’s see what make it. I’m leaning more toward SF2 as the better semi but let’s see how that pans out
  8. The diplomatic pouch with the information on the representative from République d‘Áskorza has boarded one of the 12 daily Qantash flights between our two capitals
  9. Very long time ago! Spiral is a good like 20 years old. Quite infamously has the square root of f*** all vocals from Heidi, it’s 99.9% just Keisha and Mutya
  10. Same old Putin, always moving goalposts. The trumps of the world will fall for it as per usual Russia don’t want peace, they don’t want to end the war, they want to destroy Ukraine. Let’s not forget Russia can end the war any time they want to by f***ing off and leaving the country they illegally f***ing invaded.
  11. These companies will always find a loophole. They’re using the new so called „chance card“ in Germany to exploit these workers and as a result a good 95% of the riders in Berlin are from SE Asia, speak no German at all and get thoroughly exploited by agencies who run these schemes for Wolt, Flink and UberEats. I’m with you Iz, that this is a loophole that needs closed down and fast. It’s visible, would take some steam out of the far rights balloon as a consequential benefit, and ultimately is for the benefit of the workers exploited in a quasi modern slavery deal. The Berliner did an interesting feature from the perspective of the workers The BerlinerHow Berlin's South Asian delivery workers are navigating...Essential to Berlin's food scene, delivery workers from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and beyond, are enduring isolation and exploitation, struggling to build a life within a flawed framework.

    Regardless of polling model or forecast model, it’s always those rats in the southern uplands and Aberdeenshire that let the side down and prevent us from our dream of a c**t free Scotland.
  13. Bitch how old do you think I am???? The military of today is not that different to that of the 90s. I still have family that serve. Do I have to make a manosphere youtube video for you to understand?
  14. Yeah from what I’ve been able to read online this seems to be less of a trade deal and more of a tariff equalisation deal to try and undo some of the f***ing insanity coming from the White House. But it is trump so tbh it holds about as much weight as wet 2 ply bog roll and he’ll probably have slapped us with a new set of tariffs on all of the items in the deal before the end of the year
  15. And it’s quite clear you have less than zero idea either. The military is huge on discipline and rules being followed. Zero chance he wouldn’t Land in hot water for that. Xoxo former military kid, born in a military hospital during the military occupation of Germany
  16. I don’t speak Italian but I can read enough body language to get the distinct impression the Italians were initially quite unimpressed that they picked the yank. The way the woman on TG5 special show said “un paps… Americano” spoke VOLUMES. Also my bfs family not impressed either. It’s the only thing that’s been on Italian TV all evening. Highlight of the coverage was one of the on the street interviews they did with some priests from Texas. The dude went off on some stream of shite about the Holy See being filled and gods plan and the presenter on the street who had to live translate for the audience at home translated less than half of it 🤣 my other half said he cut quite a lot out and knowingly Obviously not in Roma or Lazio but still interesting experience to be in Italy for it

    Alpine not be a mess for just one season challenge Only five races it says which implies some Toro Rosso Liuzzi/Klien back and forth bullshit. I’m guessing that Oakes was very strongly against this and decided he’d rather quit than defend what has clearly been Briatores plan from the start

    It’s extremely hard to be able to freely comment on what’s happening in Gaza as someone applying for German citizenship because the German Gov take any slight or vague criticism of the actions of the Israeli army and government as Nazi levels of antisemitism. There are some wild mental gymnastics going on here to avoid acknowledging that their commitment to “never again” comes with exceptions

    From what I understand, that is a monumental scalp. Dutton, while politically absolutely rancid, is well regarded locally and was generally well liked in his constituency and anecdotally would remember people months later having met them briefly once at an event. My friend circle is fairly left in Aus so it’s not reflective but they’re very much any Labor gov is better than than suffering through more coalition From what I’ve read, This is the first federal government to have made it through a full term and haven been reelected with an increased seat share. AusPol has certainly stabilised in recent years compared to their phase a wee while ago at being Italy and throwing out either a gov or a PM every few months
  21. Congrats Addy!!!! Top 20 for Elodie is a nice showing, I’m happy with that! Huge thanks and congrats to Josh for an excellent first time hosting! Was a flawless rendition
  22. Honestly the stuff the Vatican has on display in its museum is nothing compared to what sits in the vaults under it. There is priceless artefacts and wealth hidden away from view. The Catholic Church may just be the richest institution on earth
  23. It’s for sure a thing, and it’s not restricted to the U.K. either. Happens a lot in Berlin and just yesterday in Genova we passed a young couple walking up the Main Street blaring and half singing along to music from a phone. It’s unenforceable as a law, but parents should be better at educating their children about respect for others and society. So many problems we have could be solved if people just had a little more respect for each other
  24. Congratulations on the new place! You’re willing to rearrange half your schedule to vote, defo no ban. That rule needs an update
  25. The votes from Rd‘Á are in
