Time to split up The United Kingdom

[Giraffe]

Not into countries but about 20 regions designated as countries. Then all enter the Eurovision and vote for each like those bloody Eastern Europeans have done!!!

 

[Notters]

So long as Sussex is a country and we get our own tv channels.

 

[Giraffe]

I'm thinking we could split up as follows:

Sussex
David
Isle of Wight
South West
Middle bit
London
East Anglia
Kent
North
Wales
Scotland
N Ireland

 

[Conkers]

If we are going to split up for Eurovision at least do more than 11 regions!

 

[Giraffe]

Or alternatively the Governent organises a mass evacuation of our population across Europe so we can vote for ourselves from other countries. Again just like the Eastern Europeans have done!!!

 

[BensGrandad]

Much simpler solution do not take part anymore, would we be missed..

The voting system was a bit better when only the participating countries voted. I was wondering whether Greece just put all the names into a hat tonight, seeing as Cyprus were not competing.

i reckon the Yorkshire mob will insist on being a seperate region. then Manchester will want one, and Merseyside too. Kernow will be very pissed at being lumped in "south west" and they even have a name ready.

might as well just split along county line and save the arguements.

It's 12 now. I forgot David

The BBC should drop the show and get Dave to do it.

We could have East and West Sussex as countries - that would give us another ten votes.

Seriously I haven't watched this for 20 years so I cannot say that I am other than very cynical on the subject.

Living a mile from East Sussex, I don't think I could take the BORDER TENSIONS between the two countries, when one of them has nuclear capabilities!

We should do but it's a part of Eurovision and if we drop it then we lose the right no show European football. Well that's what the rule was but these days I'm not so sure, I can't see how that ties in with Channel Five showing the Eroupa League and Sky and EPSN's involvement. Granted I haven't watched it for at last forty years but the whole event is a travesty in any case. You can count the successful acts in music from most European countries on the fingers of one foot. Apart from the occasional club act the only three countries in Europe who can offer a large number of successful performer are the UK, Eire and Sweden.

The Eurovision Song contest hasn't really produced a long lasting act since Abba, the songs are not in anyway representative of what people will buy, winning it means nothing to anybody apart from the performers of the winning tune. It really should be got rid of, at least in this country. Frankly I'd much rather watch repeats than that.

You only say that because your name is a shortened form, Dav-Ed

Or if you want to get votes in Eurovision ...... write a decent song and get some decent performers. Sure the neighbours will still vote for each other, but we'd pick up enough second and third points to mount a creditable challenge. At least this year though we were bland as opposed to shit.

I thought that being shit was the only way to get an entry.

I thought we did really well compared to a few years ago. However, it still gets my goat that most of our European neighbours forget how we came to the rescue 70 years ago and if it wasn't for our rearguard action then Germany would be winning this competition every year!!!!

Having said that, there is a sense of pride in the fact that virtually everyone sings/communicates in Gods language, even when giving the points out (that is of course except for the arrogant French who have never forgiven us for having a better and more successful empire than them).
