Alrighty, to avoid clutter we had to combine something. And you folks are quite ...close each other ;)

So complaints can be send to me or Ms. Wibbs :D

Irish, British...continue talk!
 
^ No complaints here... this means we will get to celebrate St Patricks Day soon in this thread :) *yay* for virtual beer and dancing!
 
I must say I think it's a very good idea to combine the two, it makes perfect sense to me. :)

Also, as I have a little bit of Irish in me (my Nan was Irish) I feel right at home. :lol: And there's bound to be Guinness in this thread, so it's all good. :lol:
 
I have Irish/Manx Ancestry, my maiden name was Queenan...could explain my fondness for guiness and potatoes ;)
 
I have a question?
Anyone go to Nottingham Trent uni?
I'm going in September ;)
oh and anyone live in the midlands?
Does anyone else, when they are on the internet, feel like they are talking to people ages away? I was just wondering if people actually live near to me. :lol:
 
I'm a bit Irish too, two of my great-grandparents were Irish. :)

No, I didn't go to Nottingham Trent university, however both my parents did, it's where they first met! That was many years ago though, so not very helpful... All I know is that Nottingham has a ratio of 3 women to every man, or was that just a rumour circulating when I was choosing universities 10 years ago? :lol: I'm sure you'll have a great time, I've not heard any bad reports about Nottingham student life.

I'm from Yorkshire so not the Midlands I'm afraid and I went to university in Leeds, actually I technically still do as I am doing a PGCert at the moment there. Leeds is a great university city, I loved it when I was there. :)

On a different note, it is Eurovision 'Making your Mind Up' on Saturday. What do you think our chances of having a decent Eurovision entry will be this year? Not very likely would be my guess. Yes, I am very sad but I do love the cheesiness of Eurovision. :lol:
 
^I think anything will beat Daz :p

I will remember to laugh in Helsinki in May when I see 'em :p
 
^^I'm still disappointed that Morrissey isn't going to give it a go.

I'm sure dispite how good an entry we produce, because of tactical voting of the Eastern Bloc countries we won't fair well.

Well we won despite of it :p

They actually said last year that it doesn't go like that... someone had done some math... or something. I mean... we usually get points from...Sweden and perhas from Estonia and Norway :p But last spring only three didn't give points to us :D
 
Who is representing us this year? I have no idea of the contestents or anything. I havent seen anything on tv yet either? I heard Morrisey was going to go for it, has he pulled out?
 
It's a choice between: Justin Hawkins, Liz McClarnon, Big Brovaz, Brian Harvey and I think there are some others too. It starts at 7pm tomorrow night.

I won't be watching or voting, but I'm sure we can trust the British public to choose the worst possible song. My guess would be Justin Hawkins. :lol: I'm not sure it can be worse than Daz last year, I didn't see the other choices last year but I cannot see how Daz could possibly have been the best. :eek: :)

Oh god no, were doomed.

We're so lame at Eurovision. One day we'll surprise everyone and win. :lol:

I was all for Morrissey representing us. Oh well.
 
Happy Saint Patrick's day everbody! :D

The contestants for MYMU are: Liz Maclarnon, Justin Hawkins & Beverlei Brown, Brian Harvey, Scooch, Big Brovaz and Cyndi (<--no I haven't spelt her wrong :lol:).

The "making your mind up" programme starts at 7:30pm on BBC2 (I think).

My favourites to win are either Big Brovaz or Hawkins & Brown.
