Drove a car for three days on the opposite side of the road as I’m used to without getting in any accidents or blowing a tire running into a curb like I did in Scotland.
Walked along the cliffs of Dover without falling off them.
@designatednerd We once did a house exchange in Scotland for a month and exchanged cars as well. In the end, I had to leave money for hubcaps because I hit the curb on some of those narrow roads so many time, I lost the them somewhere.
There is always at least one song that is clearly just an excuse for the #Eurovision production crew to go absolutely bonkers with the fire effect, and this year it is brought to you by Georgia.
One of the interesting things is that whoever wins Eurovision has to host it the following year, which is expensive. So there are a few places that send people who are good, but just a little too basic to win (Hi, Cyprus!) #Eurovision
@designatednerd Yeah, on Swedish television earlier tonight they even said that many involved in organizing Eurovision here were relieved about us not having a winner song this year, because hosting it again would be too expensive 😅
@designatednerd This was always the joke about Ireland that they were trying so hard not to keep winning because they couldn’t afford to host. There was an excellent Father Ted episode with this storyline.
Last year BBC budgets were cut drastically everywhere because of the cost of hosting Eurovision.
After the incredible staging and general insanity of Ireland's entry, Latvia's ballad with with a relatively minimalist vibe is suffering in comparison. #Eurovision
OMG if Ireland wins, the American right-wing conservative christian freakout about all the satanic imagery in this is going to be fucking hysterical#Eurovision
I love that both hosts are fluent in both English and French and literally nobody is surprised. Last year Hannah Waddingham breaking out in French caused a near-orgasm in the audience #Eurovision
@jsq@DeepDishSwift the real problem is that time is many different constructs simultaneously, and trying to align all those constructs is an absolute fucking nightmare
