Er…..really?

In your haste to rubbish my post you’ve misquoted me by missing off my smilie. Nice try. 🙂

As if I believed Eurovision voting was democratic. Honestly :rolleyes:

I’m not anti-European, I am pro-democracy.

Thank goodness that Eurovision is decided on a completely democratic basis then. 😀

I suspect you are right Edgar, in which case we got what we deserved. I have a suspicion though that if the winning song was the British entry it still wouldn’t have won.

For all any of us knows, he might get chancers asking the same thing every night and he’s fed up with it. All I’m saying is it sometimes worth seeing it from the other side.

I guess where you’re concerned ppp if they’re European they must bad eh? :rolleyes:

There seems little point in moaning about coming second from last when it was a poor entry.
There is no doubt that the best entry won.
Having said that, I was disappointed that the Danish and German entries didn’t do better – they were good songs well performed. Apparently the German entry was written by Jamie Cullum.
Political voting didn’t affect the winner but may have affected those finishing last.

I’m not sure I see the problem here. You turn up after the park is closed to entry and expect to be let in? The bloke might need to get off , catch the last bus or whatever. Soemtimes it is worth trying to see things from the other side……

As far as moaning at the RVP is concerned, these are the best spotting facilities in the UK. Nowhere else has such spotter-friendly facilities and we should be grateful they exist at all.

Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon (2011)

The Decepticons and Auto-bots are back. Great effects and action sequences but strangely uninvolving. More plots holes than a swiss cheese don’t help either.

The Conspirator (2010)

James McAvoy plays Frederick Aiken, a lawyer tasked with defending Mary Surratt, one of the alleged conspirators in the plot to kill Abraham Lincoln. Nicely played courtroom drama. I’m a bit of a fan of courtroom dramas so I enjoyed this one.

Membership of the EU is a massive benefit to UK business. How do the UKIP say they fill this gap if we were to withdraw? The EU is our single biggest trading partner. Why on earth would we want to jeopardize that?
EU regulations are a lot more involved than straight bananas. Any business that works within the EU will know that homogenized tax and employment regulations as an example make for easier working.
From personal experience, we conducted an intensive flight trials programme while adhering to the Working Time Directive. It was not a problem. We were initially sceptical as normally we would have to work 50, 60 70 hour weeks to deliver such an intensive programme. What we had to do was resource it properly and the reult was an efficient and above all safe test programme. I’ve worked 70 hour weeks and 48 hour weeks and I know which one works best. It is just a shame that British bosses feel that restricting employees to working 48 hours a week is somehow a bad thing.
