The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

This sounds like it's about to descend into an argument over which buckfast is better, green or brown bottles

This will make you laugh. The house is actually called 'The Towers' because of the towers on each corner. I used to use 'Basil' as part of a password.

There is a house 400m away on the market for £1.000,000. Go figure.

Does that say one pound, a thousand pounds or a million pounds?

It’s one pound accurate to 6 decimal places, pretty sure

Sorry. £1,000,000. I need new specs but can't get an eye test thanks to Covid....:D It is a lovely house though.

Sure Baku has hosted it. And Baku is further east than Baghdad.

It is "nil points" au francais.

Does anyone know was the song completely rubbish or was it a bit more of a "political" thing because of Brexit?

Didn't watch it, but I'd say the latter if I was a betting man.

Well having seen the garbage that won, I can't imagine I ever want to hear the song that scored nul points!

Well they did say they wanted nothing from Europe.

The winning song was terrible. Looked like one of them was caught snorting a line on TV too

Not a rubbish song but just not what Eurovision is about any more, just like our entry.

Brexit isn't relevant because a heap of countries aren't even in the EU. Why would the Georgian or Azerbaijani juries care if the UK left the EU?

They wouldn't be relevant either way unless it was a particularly good song. The UK missed out on a heap of votes from Western countries they would have got in the past because of the current mood, no doubt. The vast majority of Eurovision songs aren't my bag at all but even I think the song they entered didn't deserve 0 points, there was some unbelievable ****e in there that picked up the odd few pity points.

To marry the Brexit and Eurovision themes further, Amanda Holden dropped a clanger that just came across completely un-self-aware and insular:

I think it comes from the French points giver, speaking in English in years gone by, and their pronunciation sounding half English half French.
