    Eurovision Song Contest 2004

    Eurovision Song Contest 2004 I like the look of a Serbia/Cyprus double in them group matches Stereoman. Nice prices too :) Bloody hell Greece are as low as 3/1 with Hills. Still don't think it's a good bet. Ukraine's been topping a lot of euro polls Stereoman ive noticed. Wonder what the price is to qualify now? Just going through my fancies and fianlising a few things and Cyprus is sounding better and better. the young lass on the night will bang it out and give an emotional performance i reckon. 16/1 thank you very much. Where's the payout window? Just noticed this Keemanan- 49th Eurovision Song Contest - Reach The Final Abdi Ipecki Hall, Istanbul, Turkey Live on BBC3, May 12th :( I'll have to keep in-touch somehow. Radio could be best? Shite Cyprus are 1/8 now to qualify with Corals :( 1/2 last week. Looks like ive missed the boat on the qualifying. Might as well look for the winner :( No i have it CYPRUS @ 16/1 E/W. I even had a wee tear in my eye and welled up then when i listened to it.

    Re: Laddies Aye you did that Gett1n just a shame it was all your own team members :lol oyu took out 43 and became despised in CODLAND. Theyre gunning for you now mate. I'd stick to losing your money to Jezza Gett1n. shot0041.jpgshot0043.jpg Im a great card player but only with skillfull games and not things like poker and it variants brag etc. I like a game of Crash though. Any whilst based game and you'd be doing well to be able to sit at the PL Hearts Squad's Hearts table. It is NOT true that we are all shite with -1500 ratings and we never get a game finished as we fall out with whoever sits in. shot0039.jpg ;)

    Finalists Austria - Dont know what i was thinking of. This is just plain dull. If they were to sing in English though. France- Another poor song. I wont be listening to it nor backing it. Germany- Pomp's fav. Maybe top 5 but not a winning type of song imo. He's like a pub singer. It gets better but fundementally a poor song. Iceland- With a good performance on the night this boy could go right to the top of the Euro scoreboard. Quite pally with the other nations about it. the 25/1 at Hills could be awfully big. I like it, well i dont but you know what i mean. Between them and Cyprus imo so far. Belgium- Nothing great imo even though its widely fancied. the singer is lovely with nice big mouth. Close but no cigar. Ireland - Dull Norway- nope Poland- A joke song right? Never know could go well if folks see the joke. Sweden- will be sung in English on the night. Will go well but i dont like it. well i wouldnt would i? Turkey- I quite like it. Its a differant kind of Euro song and with the home support they could be....nah it wont win. UK- Dull

    Eurovision Song Contest 2004 I'll read all the above after ive posted this. Bloody murder having to listen to all these songs. SEMI Albania - Possibilities. The lass is quite attractive and might have large knockers and a tight wee top on the night. Quite catchy but not really strong enough. **** Andorra - Too foreign sounding. Nice singer though. A bit lovely. *** Belarus - Did Keemanan fancy this one? God it's awful, really grating. I can just see a really annoying woman singing it. :( Sorta cross between some yodeller, b*witched. Arrrrghhhh it really does get worse......stop yodeling. Argggg its got an awful beat. Aye best so far. 6/4 to qualify :) ***** Denmark - Oooo nice chants at the start with latino guitar in the background. Oh it's Justin Timberlake :( :( Not a good song but if performed well a definate to get through. 1/2 too with Corals. Croatia- Smooth jazzy chords. Is he singing in Spanish? Nope no chance. Horrible song. Bok. Cyprus - Ooooo this looks very promising. Women like a song that they can sing. Needs to get some more melody though. 1/3 tq a defo. **************************** Estonia- A little scary :unsure Getting scarier :( Nah this aint popular. No chance. It's like Jefferson Airplane meets Pocohantus. Finland- Im quite stunned. Surely not? Greece- No i think that folks will see through this. Crap. Israel- This is horrible. I want to stop this now as these songs are doing me right in:( This is so bad. Nah its quite a nice feel good song i could take the 6/4 tq Do Israel get the sympathy vote? ***** Latvia- Ooo a stinker of the highest euro order. It has nothing in it that will appeal to the euro audience. ** Monaco- A lovely lady from the tax haven wearing expensive jeans. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE ** Macedonia- Choppy strings, spanish guitar, latin Macedonian, Terrible lyrics. Good voice mind. Another def qualifier so i like to see the 2/1 quote to do so:) ****** Holland- I just dont like it. Some could nut its beginning to really bug me. Boring and shite. I could do better if i could be arsed. Portugal- Oh aye im for a wank.nah her tits aint big enough and the song is very plain. Poor effort. * Switzerland- This is a bit jolly :( It's Black Lace with a new lead singer. Could qualify @ 2/1. ***** Slovenia- a a proper song again. It's Peters and Lee without the specs. A bit dull but possibiliteswith a good performance. 2/1 tq too. Ukraine- Scary stuff again from Eastern Europe. I might go there and set up a stall in death metal patches. Far too weird so far. Mmmmmm a bit dancy. Yeah, nice singer. A Nena for the 2000's I quite like it but then again ive always been a bit of a metal bashing fan:o 23 Skido anyone?

    Eurovision Song Contest 2004 Ive been listening in on these tunes Pomp and have gave up on my Austrian entry as it is worse than some of the crap that could win. then i thought maybe Spain will get the sympathy vote due to the bombing but after listening to it no the bombings were bad but they aint gonna change anyone's mind into voting for their latino charged number. I'm purely concentrating on the Semis forst then the grand final and will have my third listen to all the tunes tomorrow and give my views. Looking forward to it all now:)

    GRAND NATIONAL

    in At The Races - Racing Forum

    Posted

    GRAND NATIONAL Hedgehunter and Seen's Amberleigh House. Here's another pinstickers guide. This time from the Daily Record-

    1 LE COUDRAY OWNED by JP McManus. Very classy and could run a decent race judged on his third to Florida Pearl at Leopardstown last time. Likely to wilt under a welter burden. F4-422 C Roche (Ire)C O'Dwyerxxx 2 MONTY'S PASS LANDEDamonster £1million gamble when romping home last year. Has run deplorably since, has too much weight and heavy rain would scupper his chances. 1-5000 J J Mangan (Ire) B J Geraghtyxxx 3 WHAT'S UP BOYS SMASHING horse, but injury prone. Was second to Bindaree two years ago but has raced only twice since. Should certainly run well if back to his best but it's a big if ! 52/F-4 P Hobbs R Johnsonxxx 7 RISK ACCESSOR ANOTHER one owned by JP McManus. Consistent and well named he's prone to the odd jumping error, which isn't good news around Aintree. 161F20 C Roche (Ire)S Durackxxx 8 DAVIDS LAD WINNER of the Irish National in 2001and was going well in Bindaree's National two years ago when falling four out. Shrewd trainer and has legitimate claims. -35626 A J Martin (Ire) T J Murphyxxx 9 BINDAREE WON the 2002 Grand National and was sixth last year when not at the top of his game. Has already won the Welsh National this season and has genuine place prospects. 6-F216 N Twiston-Davies C Llewellynxxx 13 HEDGEHUNTER THIS became one of Ireland's leading National fancies after producing an exhibition round of jumping when scoring at Gowran Park in January. Plenty of support andhas chances. 0-2431 W P Mullins (Ire) D J Caseyxxxx1 4 SHARDAM TRAINER Nigel Twiston-Davies has already saddled two winners of this race and Shardam hit top form when second to Fork Lightning at Cheltenham last month. 11P024 N Twiston-Davies T Scudamorexxx 15 TAKAGI WAS well-beaten by Hedgehunter in January but has shown improved form since when tried in first-time blinkers. Wears them again today and looks nicely treated. 435601 E O'Grady (Ire) D N Russellxxx 19 TYNEANDTHYNEAGAIN HE is suited by a test of stamina and won over four miles at Newcastle. But has he a change of gears needed to win in this class? I think probably not. P2101P R C Guest H Oliverxx 20 BRAMBLE HILL DUKE LAST-minute substitute after he was called off the bench when Red Striker was pulled out yesterday. There is no way he'll pop up to be the winner. 6P3250 Miss V Williams James Daviesx 21 GUNNER WELBURN EXCELLENT fourth a year ago and his trainer says he has got the Gunner cherry ripe for battle. This one definitely has a big each way chance. 4-P1P1 A Balding A Dobbinxxxx 25 JUST IN DEBT BOUNCED back to form at Ayr recently, but this is a very different cup of tea. If you stick you cash on this he'll put you in the red today. 2035P1 M Todhunter J Cullotyx 26 EXIT TO WAVE ONCE useful though never won beyond 2m 2f and his form has slipped. Probably still capable of winning a nice race but it's unlikely to be today. -35336 P Nicholls R walshxxx 27 CLAN ROYAL LEADonMacDuff! He has already won twice over these fences and he has never failed to complete in 19 starts. Major player for the legendary JP McManus. 1411-1 Jonjo O'Neill L Cooperxxxxx 31 ARDENT SCOUT HAS a real love affair with Aintree having jumped safely around here a remarkable four times. Sue and Harvey Smith's old warrior could gallop into a place. jockeyxxx 32 BEAR ON BOARD STAYS really well and has been in cracking form in a lower grade this season. Been climbing the weights but still has each-way claims if spot on again today. R Thorntonxxx 33 LORD ATTERBURY TOP point--to-pointer but was found wanting at Cheltenham when apparently below par. Overall form leaves him plenty to find. 21-11P M PipeM Bradburnexx WOULD need a pile-up, a bolt of lightning or an earthquake to win. But you don't get acts of God at Aintree these days. Even the Mounties couldn't get this man in. F64S6P M Pipe J P Elliottx 1 LE COUDRAY OWNED by JP McManus. Very classy and could run a decent race judged on his third to Florida Pearl at Leopardstown last time. Likely to wilt under a welter burden.

    Eurovision Song Contest 2004 This could be a wee bit handy for the in-running mob like Ian and his in-runnin' croonies.

    Maybe this tells me that what the Swiss like could be a good e/w selection. How will we know how the Swiss vote till it's too late? If they vote early though....

    Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2004 Found something but not a lot so far.

    the given points during the years 1982 - 1998. In these conclusions I took into considerations only the countries which have participated at least 8 times during 1982 - 1998. So the countries which are not included: Bosnia, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, FYR Macedonia, Lithuania, Monaco, Morocco, Poland, Rumania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia & Yugoslavia. Most Beloved ESC Country IRELAND Ireland is the favourite country of 6 different nations, which have given the most points to Ireland. The most enthusiastic fan is Sweden with the average points of 7,6 a year. Least liked ESC Country GREECE So Turkey isn't anymore the least liked country. This is mainly because of Sebnem popular songs. 4 countries have given the least points to Greece. The least points has given Ireland, 0,1 a year. Most fanatic fan CYPRUS Cyprus has given the most of its points to the same country. This happy country is Greece. Cyprus gives even 10,9 points to Greece every year! Best points-connection CYPRUS-GREECE - The best points connection is between Cyprus and Greece. Cyprus gives 10,9 points to Greece a year and Greece to Cyprus 9,3 points. Worst points-connection CYPRUS-TURKEY - The worst points connection is between Cyprus and Turkey, whicg have never given points to each others in 1982-1998! Best neighbourg NORWAY Norway is the country which gives the most points to its neighbourgs. The happiest neighbourg is Sweden, which gets 7,6 points from Norway a year. The second most points has Denmark, which receives 6,6 points a year. Denmark and Norway have not a common frontier border on the surface, but the distance by the sea isn't long. The third happiest neighbourg is Russia, which has 4,7 points a year. Norway has also been a good neighbourg to Finland. We have received our fifth most points from Norway. What a neighbourg indeed!
    Indeed! This could be handy for when the Match Betting comes in.

    Eurovision Song Contest 2004 I havent heard the Irish entry yet Irish but will have too. The fella looks a bit dull too and as you say i think they just make Ireland and UK favs for their past performances. I'm just trying to locate voting patterns (ie Turkey votes for Germany but not Greece) over the last few years and came across an Eastern Bloc alternative to the euro. Gonna see if there is any clues there but im finding it hard to read. Any help? www.bart.sopot.pl/sopot_f...hiwum.html
