I’m sure you weren’t around for its first airing on Channel 4 in 1993, so I’d be interested in your opinion on
#Eurotrash
which has been repeated late on Saturday nights on Talking Pictures TV. It’s co-hosted by Jean-Paul Gaultier (yes that one, the now fashion designer!)

Hey Andrew. I've come across some old interviews from NBN from around 1973 with Johnny Lockwood & Pat McDonald in their No 96 days. I doubt anyone has seen these in 50 years. I've marked the time sync in the comments on the YouTube video.

Delta Goodrem, there, essentially cheating by entering an actual pop song. Why isn’t she dressed as an armadillo, or rapping about jacuzzis or something.

Just voted for the UK from the UK (no VPN or other IP trickery) by changing my country on
esc.vote
to Australia and using my Australian debit card (which luckily had 70c left in it).

Boy George performing for San Marino and not qualifying is probably a good case for performers needing to have some sort of (non-financial) link to the country they are performing for. Citizenship or long-term residency should be the main criteria.

, … that’s it. Just couldn’t get into any of the others. I started about 45 mins behind so I could skip the songs I didn’t like. And I’ve been a fan of Vanilla Ninja for many years.

I have 16 debit and credit cards. And I can create a bunch of virtual cards. Does that mean I can vote 160+ times??

My pet hate about subscriptions is not having an online cancel option. The same mechanism used to sign up should be available to cancel. Brisbane Times is happy to give you an upgrade option online to take more cash but you need to call during business hours to cancel.
