The Scottish public never got a chance to vote as they were all out at the Glasgow Green Firework Display.Thats all I am trying to say.
Surley even you can see how that is unfair on Scotlands Treasure? bloody hell, that must be some huge display, nightmare policing I'd imagine, crowd control for about 5 million people

Ah, the sour grapes of delusion. She consistently went wrong week after week. Should have gone before last night to be fair.

Its well known that the Scots all celebrate Guy Fawks night as second only to the great Rabbie Burns night.We take it very serous as we know what it was about
The rest of the UK tends to just take it as an excuse to eat loads of burgers off made from the bonfire and barbecues This is why the Lulu fans couldn't get to the phone Also I know of many fans who did not realsie the voting was only going to be on for 20 mins last night.The Glasgow Branch of the Lulu fan club was at the Glasgow Green fireworks party and wasnt aware that the voting was finishing early last night This is not on BBC.Very unfair

Very funny OP, I actually think some people took you serioulsy.
Actually I don't think the Scots like Lulu much, my husband is Scottish and a few years older than Lulu and he says she was never very well liked. |

It was incredibly crowded, particularly when everyone tried to get their special tin mobiles out and realised that they couldn't vote for Lulu because of the lack of reception

It's a wonder you weren't trampled to death in the riot of anger, it's lucky they couldn't get through on the phones to find result. I'm so glad you escaped without harm! ![]()

I would imagine that a fairly large proportion of Scottish people are blissfully unaware that Lulu was born in Scotland.

Its a shame that in one of Scotland's most important days of the year Guys Fawks night the majority of Scotland was at Bonfire parties and therefore never got a chance to save Scotland's Treasure
Shame on you BBC for putting SCD on in a day when you know a whole country wont be in to vote I think this is a disgrace and demand a re-count ![]() They new that Lulu supporters would be out last night yet still carried on with the show regardless Gutted ![]() |

Yes, obviously, the population of each country should be given every opportunity to vote for celebs of the same nationality. Since it necessarily follows - Scottish: vote Lulu.
Strictly will now have to do something about the time difference between Australia and the UK. Otherwise Jason and Holly will be unfairly disadvantaged. |

That would be because they were being serious, just take a look at the rest of their posts, although, actually, I wouldn't really recommend it as they're a tad delusional.
You have a fine line in understatement.

Everyone knows the Scots would vote for a steaming turd if it had a whiff of a Scottish accent. Thank heavens they were preoccupied on Saturday.

Must be a bit boring having all the fireworks coloured green. Perhaps got a job lot cheap in Lidl.
![]() ![]() (Of course, there is a whole 'political' subtext to the idea of having only green fireworks in Glasgow, on a night which commemorates an act with similar 'political' subtexts. )Not that any of that is a fraction as entertaining as your post!! Loved it! |
