Just curious how spread out we are. I’m up in West Yorkshire myself.

Hi from Oslo, Norway!

Prynhawn Da from South Wales 👋
I’m ashamed to say the only words I know in Welsh are “Bore da” and I’m not entirely sure how to spell them. Thanks for reminding me that I should learn. :)
The only one I know is Gwasanaethau because it means Services and I’ve seen it on the M4 so often
Melbourne, Australia
Ah yes, my favourite European country. They must be, they compete in the Eurovision after all. And usually with a better song than us. :)
ahahahahaha i think the thing is Australia does have European immigration so I guess that lets us into Eurovision?
Really? I thought it was just that the Aussies loved to watch Eurovision from the peanut gallery, then asked if they could come and play, and we collectively said yes we’d love to have you. :)
As a self-certified Eurovision fanatic I feel qualified to butt in here.
That’s basically what happened, yes. Eurovision is open to all members of the European Broadcasting Union, and Australia became associate members by special arrangement. The EBU membership rather than a requirement to be in actual geographical Europe is also how we’ve had various other countries like Israel or even Morocco in past contests.
Today I learned! Thank you. :)
Directly above the centre of the Earth.
…take my upvote and get out of here.
Very kind, old bean. btw, West London originally, now tropical north Australia.
How are you enjoying the summer? /joke
Canada… This post appeared on my feed on kbin.social 🤷
I am addicted to UK panel shows and comedy though, so there’s a connection?
Favorite panel show?
I love QI and Cats does Countdown. And although it’s not exactly a panel show, I’m a big fan of Taskmaster.
Have you managed to find a shred of info about why the latest season of Cats only did one episode then just… stopped? Whenever I try to google it I can’t seem to find anything about it
Not OP but 8oo10cdc and wilty.
Oh I love WILTY
