Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

“What The Hell Just Happened”

No, not a cry for help, but a follow on from my Eurovision post #1981…. Which coincidently was the year Buck’s Fizz won for the Uk.

That above, is the title of the Uk song this year, from girl group Remember Monday…. I’ve heard about 3 seconds of it, but it’s being played in full tomorrow morning at 8am on radio 2, so I’ll delay judgement until then.

Other euro news, the Maltese “Kant” song has been asked to change the title and lyrics because of its similarity to a big sweary word.
Apparently, the BBC are getting the blame, but really it’s OFCOMs rules. The same BBC that didn’t mind Olly Alexander last year grinding around in a male communal shower room set.

Just pronounce it a different way…. Like William Shatner shouting “KHAAAAAAN” in Star Trek II



Belgiums Red Sebastian… who is a guy called Sebastian, and wears a lot of red… His song “Strobelight” will probably come with an onscreen epilepsy warning because of the flashing lights…



Australia…. Where did it all go wrong? Keep sending stuff like “Milkshake Man” and you’ll end up getting kicked out. You’re not in Europe anyway.
Sounds a bit like that Badger, Badger, Badger, Mushroom video that was really popular about 20 years ago… and the video reminds me of “Relax” by FGTH…. Which was also banned by the BBC.



Austria is trying an operatic style, clearly copying last years winner Nemo. Hitting notes only dogs can hear.



Favourites include Finnish “Ich Komme” (I’m coming)…. The Irish Norwegian Emmy, singing about a Russian canine and whoever Sweden puts forward from their national selection process which could be Mans Zermelow who won 10 years ago or Dolly Style, who have previously entered the selection process 4 times in 10 years with 9 different members


Finally, Slovenia are sending a song called “How Much Time Do We Have Left”…. And looking at geopolitics at the moment, we might not make it to May 17th if WWIII breaks out.

They're bang on with that title.

Trump being more dictatorish than even bloody putin right now.

Quick move to NZ. The least likely to suffer if everyone hits the N buttons.

We’ve got relatives in NZ, so that might not be a bad shout.


Did you also hear on the news that South Korea accidentally dropped a few bombs on their own country….. about 25miles from Seoul… where my daughter is!.

I’ve just read that it was a joint manoeuvres with the US military…. I’m not wanting to put 2 and 2 together but…….

OMG no I didn't!! Christ the bombs we have zooming around gaza and Ukraine are more than enough for this year already!

Just seen Remember Monday girls on Scott Mills in a news clip will go try find it somewhere to see the full interview. Is the track released now then?

 

[Dan]

Found it

[littlespark]

Yes. It should be online now. YouTube and Spotify have it. Not as bad as a thought it was going to be. Reminds me of “Last Friday Night” by Katy Perry….. Not so much the tune, but the subject of the lyrics.

Ohhh I'm not much for that.

I'm going vote for the kaaaaaaaants for the hell of it.

Unless a stripper does a lap again and I'll vote for them if I can.

Just listened.

We don't seem to be going for a win then!?

You heard which ones have the best odds now more have come out?

 

[littlespark]

I’ve not even mentioned Italy (the winner of their national selection pulled out, so their second place is going) or Iceland in their silver coats

Estonia’s Tommy Cash with his “Espresso Machiato” song is the comedy entry this year,

Odds are still on Sweden who don’t decide on their entry until tomorrow…. But finger crossed it’s the 4 girls of Dolly Style…. (That’s dolly… not doggy) whose country/ pop/ dance song has got Eurovision written all over it.

 

[Dan]

Is this the Tommy cash one?

Yes…. And I would advise you don’t look further into his past video uploads.

Well now I'm dying to!

Are they just dodgy humour or something?

Last ice skating day of the season and it was competition day!
Weeks of planning, teaching, getting the kids to stand properly in preparation for this more formal day…..

And the ice plant broke down last night.

Everything was delayed for over an hour as the rink had to be drained of an inch of water and re scraped with the Zamboni.

The performance programs from the senior age groups were up first, but the still wet ice caused a few issues where a knee slide would go a little further than expected and the kid would end up crashing into the side wall.

As everything was running late, the practice part of the ice was much more congested than it should and one kid from the group I teach took a tumble, twisted her leg, had to be carried off and ended up in the hospital.


At least I’ve got my Sundays back for the next 6 months.

It's been a quiet morning. Walked the dog then went to Screwfix to pick up my free lap dry lining back boxes. Off to Sainsburies to get dog food then home and pack my case. Will be driving up to Chester this afternoon ready for a 7am start tomorrow.
