That I won Series 100 and convinced everyone on the show that Margaret Thatcher was a good prime minister.

Rhys Benjamin

...Margaret Thatcher...she's inspirational by saving millions of lives That's odd, I generally keep up with the news but must have fallen asleep or something when she saved millions of lives. How exactly did she accomplish this? By closing down the mines so as to save the miner's lives. we don't co...

My right wing support has meant that all the Year 9's (Year 10's in NI, S4 in Scotland) come up to me and say, Margaret Thatcher's a whore! Ah well. I try with attacking James Callaghan, saying that she's inspirational by saving millions of lives, saying that we don't complain about the poll tax any...

[sigh] My cousin, who is 22, is (and has been) standing for councillor elections in his Local constituency (well, sort of(the one his uni's in)) and he represents the Conservative party. As such, we have "inside knowledge". It's clear you're having a hard time justifying his opinions ty h...

I know I'm jumping in to this discussion a bit late, but a poll done for The Guardian yesterday (4 May) predicted 68% 'No' and 32% 'Yes'. The poll on this thread (admittedly of 31 people) predicts 84% 'Yes' and 16% 'No'. Quite a discrepancy there. Any thoughts? Some people here are just too left wi...

Rhys Benjamin

Prediction still says Ed to win. Sorry.

Rhys Benjamin

One more input - I did a survey today at school with 50 people, and I retired to count the votes. I provided the totals and the reactions were (under First Past The Post) "I'm happy with that." Under Alternative Voting, the reactions were, "that's fucking well messed up, blad, innit, ...

Here it is on the BBC.

Please. Not again.

He would have lost under AV as he didn't get 50% of the max.

Edit: Actually, 70 is 50% of 140, isn't it? Some people here are just too left wing.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Ian.

omg. Merry-go-round, Episode 4 now on the cards.

Sorry, James. Would have taken it but didn't want to disturb the wallpaper man.

Odd... this was mentioned to me at school and I gladly turned it down - never smoked Weed, never will. Plus it's illegal.

Rhys Benjamin

I just had a question saying, "You are a xxx, living in xxxxxxx, born on the xx xxxxxx xxxx. Is this correct?"

To which I proceeded to say, "Yep, thanks. Now leave me alone."

Rhys Benjamin

I'm still not sure, Ben. When do you need entries by at the very latest?

Rhys Benjamin

Feel like BUMPing the thread

My -10th birthday!

Tuesday 31 May if that's possible, please.

Nope - They're all through

In 2009 Azerbaijan authorities arrested people for the crime of voting for Armenia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia%E2%80%93Azerbaijan_relations_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest Yet Malta deliberately gave 12 points to us in 2007 as a protest against Eurovision politics and it didn't work.

Countdown recap for Thursday 19 May 2011. Into the 89th prelim now and Tom Barnes could become an octochamp. He says he's more nervous now. That won't dismantle the pressure, then!

I'm sure it's fine. I imagine it's easier to amend the series than for Rhys to go to the effort of doing a full new recap. Also he is doing tomorrow so I'm sure it's not too bad. Probably edit your post above to reduce the amount of smileys? It hurts my eyes? Please? Oh how we need likes back.... T...

Rhys Benjamin

It's all right - I'll let you off!

I apologise for my lack of posting yesterday but I had a monumental internet failure!

Rhys Benjamin

Me? (Half-joking and half-serious)

Rhys Benjamin

I quite like it, but, like all toys, you grow out of it.

Rhys Benjamin

The BBC did a Eurovision scorecard which could help you decide who to vote for. I had Romania on 28/30.

Rhys Benjamin

Douze points a la Ireland.

Rhys Benjamin

At least you're no longer

Rhys Benjamin

Eoin, are you getting "You Can't vote for the UK" or "You can't vote for Ireland", to settle this debate once and for all.

Rhys Benjamin

Well, if you can't do Thursday, then can I have it?

Rhys Benjamin

We're starting to be like the Williams Formula 1 team.

Every year we're confident, then we do completely crap!

Why oh why did Cyprus have giant sperm? And why did Garden Gnomes invade?

Rhys Benjamin

Jamie Warren is CF.

Rhys Benjamin

Who is he though?

Rhys Benjamin

We are the only honest voters. So Greece won last year, not Germany.

Ireland didn't give us anything significant last year

If they gave us 12, then we wouldn't have been last.

And in 2003 I found out we had NO POINTS whatsoever. Nil poi.

Rhys Benjamin

OK< can't take it any longer.... who is CF?

Rhys Benjamin

I hated Eurovision until last year, when I gave in to peer pressure in 2009 and watched the X Factor. The next year, I watched Eurovision. I quite liked it, so I shall watch it this year.

Rhys Benjamin

If you're east of it, then the other side of east is west!

I have someone at my school who is proper Irish, and he was jumping hoops when I told him about Jedward

Next year, the United Kingdom should have Wrong Direction.

Are you there Rhys? Bit of a kerfuffle on the BBC at the moment as (I think) Ferrari gave Alonso a message in Italian or something.. which begs the question, why are all the radio messages in English? Is that a rule?

Amazing but unsung. I have the game on VHS and I watch it over and over again. I love the fact that Richard Whiteley states true insurance forms for a car crash, summarising the details, including, "I though my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it." The game...

Gotta be Hastings v Noble in 2000.

Rhys Benjamin

Labour supporters won't second pref The Conservatives and vice versa. The second one will be more tactical.

40 mins to polls close - so get a move on and vote no!

Rhys Benjamin

Hated it so much, and I only watched the last 5 minutes so I could watch Doctor Who.
