    Due to it going out on a phone vote for 50% of the points, there are a lot of variables.

    We've got a strong song, and a good singer, so we'll see after first rehearsal in about 50 minutes.

    ETA: Strongest so far is Ukraine. Malta are on now (another contender) and we're on after. I'll be back about 9pm UK time.

    You haven't allowed for Greece voting for Cyprus,......

    Neither of which are in the contest. It didn't go down that route for few years, but being the one with most participating countries around us, we'd benefit from that anyway :eek:

    I think the problem is that I'm not that confident person, and that's starting to reflect in the way I'm doing things. I am feeling a lot happier now with our chances, after watching through the video again few moments ago (without attention being on the kids in the room.)

    I agree. It is funny how different people can be in RL to on the net.

    I guess it is easier to be less shy/more confident under a veil of anonymity.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    I guess it is easier to be slimmer, taller, blonder, richer, POSHER.

    I'm all of those things in my head. Then I look in the mirror and talk. B*gger.

    And yet when we have met I had few surprises I think. If anything you were all lovelier than I have thought.

    I have an unplanned day at home. Mr S was to be home whilst my windscreen was replaced, however he has had to pull out. So I have phoned work/delegated/moved and taken the day off.

    Have no car...so what to do?

    I might have to resort to a list or I will spend too much time pottering about on here.

    Pretend it were one of your potential days of a shorter working week. What would you do? Would it always involve going out.

    I pad just types c0ck as !!!! for me but the sensor wipes it out.

    I pretty much gave up texting after the mind melt. I think my brain might work a bit like a predictive text thing, and the two conflict horrifically. I occasionally type out texts slowly and agonisingly.

    Usually I give up and call the person half way through.


    DH gets texts like

    Y



    N. or avsjvxkywgkysxl


    He always seems to know what they mean, oddly.

    That's true love that! A soul mate will know what you're saying, even when you can't say it.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
