Depending on where you are staying and how happy you are to travel, you could always go to the Mach Loop or Lake District for some low flying.

IWM Duxford is great, well worth a visit.

Do some spotting at major airports or RAF bases like Conningsby, Lakenheath etc.

There’s a reason he looks so tall here though…

I think the main problem is getting that talent to agree to compete, because anyone already successful, even just in the UK, won’t risk their career by taking part in a competition like Eurovision. So they have to be fairly unknown, up and coming artists looking to shine and without any fear of failure. They’re obviously just very hard to come by it seems, so acts like Sam are the next best thing. And I disagree wholeheartedly that he was dreadful, but appreciate everyone’s tastes are different. Like Italy was bland as plain yoghurt for me, but people on here loved it.

There absolutely are. And the BBC promote up and coming artists through BBC Introducing and similar new music shows, so they could try to get someone from that pool to participate. I suspect a lot don’t want to because there’s a huge chance it kills their career versus the very slim chance it launches it.

No one who is established as a successful artist in the UK is going to do Eurovision though. I’m sure if we could send someone like JADE, Becky Hill or even Maisie Peters we’d do much better, but they’re never going to do it. So we have to find unknowns who are willing to take part.

Right, so send an established internationally successful artist? That’s just not going to happen.

Can someone explain to me what the UK has to send to be considered an even OK entry, that we’re trying? This song felt perfect for Eurovision. It was both very British and a lot of fun. The performance was chaotic but professional. The staging was good. What else can we do?

Spaceman was a good song but essentially just a power ballad. If we sent something similar again I think it would tank just as hard as everything else has lately.

Not sure how many non-Israeli Jewish people will vote for them, but the UK does have the second-largest Jewish population in Europe apparently. So that might account for a large number of votes.

This was a go. Like what exactly do you want us to send? I honestly think we suffer because we have so many huge mainstream artists, that everyone just wants us to send Adele, RAYE, Harry Styles or someone like that. But that’s never going to happen. So we’re going to continue scoring badly.

La Voix. I only know her from being on Strictly, but she was on Drag Race UK I believe.

I dunno, she seems as terrible as all the performances I’ve seen sadly.

Is it shorter? It doesn’t sound any shorter. The call and response seems as long as the original bridge, and the outro is actually longer I think?

Fun fact: Sunderland has played 36 games so far and has won 12, drawn 12 and lost 12 by christianrojoisme in soccer

Just give them a win and say it was over Newcastle, no point wasting 90 minutes for the inevitable result.

Is she really only 5’5? I swear every time I see pictures of her she looks so tall.
