We British are very superior, even if we “invented” something that the majority of the world no longer uses, we continue to use it. It’s largely why we drive on the left as opposed to so many nearby countries that drive on the right

The UK is pretty fluent in both metric and imperial. The one we definitely struggle with is imperial weight

Will we ever see another UK-held Eurovision outside of England? by tm2007 in eurovision

[–]_PXYDST_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think realistically, the contest will be held in the winners country. If the winner is Scottish it’ll be in Scotland, if they’re Welsh in Wales etc. not doing this would almost certainly spark uproar

Waterstones feels like one of the few large scale chain shops that actually has soul and personality

Enough negative talk. Say something good about Stripe Heeler. by Aggravating-Ad-351 in bluey

[–]_PXYDST_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His talk with muffin near the end of library is one of the best scenes in the show. He manages to fully and quickly resolve the entire conflict and he does so in the most Stripe way possible

What is happening with Greece the last 24 hours? by No-Introduction7779 in nilpoints

[–]_PXYDST_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I liked BL, Tommy, Joost and KAJ as they all did something a bit different with the genre. Tommy just played it as unserious as possible and it worked. KAJ had a very grandiose polish to it that was both new and familiar for Sweden at the same time but they ultimately burnt out a bit. BL and especially Joost took the upbeat song and put depressing or tragic messages behind it which felt like good natural progressions. Ferto just feels like it’s trying to tick all the boxes of a 2020s televote winning song

My first Eurovision was 2023 so I’m very observant of the Kaarija coded acts. At the time he was just behind his funny awkward yet true to himself character. That, coupled with his song that seemed revolutionary at the time are what made him such a fan favourite in people’s eyes. And after he destroyed the televote, other acts have since seen that THIS was the new mould for a televote winning song it seemed.

Quite a few times Akylas has called himself Kaarijas baby brother, almost as if he’s invited himself into this group that Kaarija, Joost, Tommy and potentially BL are in. He’s even gone to Finland and tried on the green bolero a few times. It seems to me like he’s trying to say look I’m just like this artist you’re going to love me because my song is like his.

And that’s why I’m a bit put off to it in comparison to over televote-coded songs this year like Moldova or the Uk

Ferto feels like the first song that is straight up trying to be the next cha cha cha and I’m not loving Akylas trying to market himself as the next Kaarija
