    Eurovision

    We enjoy watching this contest in Türkiye and we really take it serious.I dont know Scotland's situation in UK(I know you are not but UK is in the game) but i wonder, do you live this excitement too?In my neighbourhood so many bosnians,albanians,bulgarians,russians and turk imigrants from all over balkans live and they say in the eurovision time their all relatives watch the contest,like breaking the feast time you can find no people in the streets of bosna.what do you do there in Scotland?clapping the British singer?or the Irish?

    I do not watch a lot of television. Here in the U.S. most people are addicted to it though. I suppose it is probably the same for folks in the U.K.

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    Dervish are representing Ireland, their song is just wonderful as all their music is.
    you can see it here.

    I did wonder about the words pandering to the melting pot that Europe is becoming. I would have rather seen them do a traditional Irish song.

    Not a clue to the program. I'm like Dirk, I don't watch a lot of television. Ours seems to be on quite often (the wife is a couch potato ) But, other than falling asleep to Nick at Night re-runs, I don't really watch.

    I don't watch a lot of T.V, but here in Scotland we do tend to have a bit of fun at Eurovision time.
    Some of us have parties where everyone has to dress up as a particular country.
    Some people just are not interested at all.
    I usually don't support the U.K act because they are usually very bad.
    This year my favourite act is Slovenia, so that is who I am supporting.
    But I will be sure to support Turkey, too.
