Ok guys... I'm currently putting a Eurovision/Schlager/europop playlist together as it looks like I'm getting a DJ slot in a bar/club in Chester.
If you could go to a club and have them play your favourite Eurovision/Schlager/europop songs what would they be? All suggestions will be listened to (where necessary - I already have a pretty decent collection of songs if I do say so myself ) and considered for inclusion for the fine people of Chester ![]() Quote:
Yay! A challenge!
![]() Out of the ones you've definitely got, then I'd go with Agnes - Love Love Love Same Difference - Karma Karma BWO - Chariots of Fire Sanna Nielsen - I'm In Love Alcazar - Stay The Night Loreen - Euphoria Kati Wolf - What About My Dreams Hera Bjork - Someday Just go through the MelFest/MGP Back catalogue ![]() Very exciting news Nathan, when is it going to be? Nanne Grönvall - Håll om mig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpyRZayFGug and I cannot believe Nightfox has not suggested this already, so here is a treat for her: Estonia’s Sandra Oxenryd - Through my window http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=922TeHUzhLA Enjoy! |

![]() Looking forward to your entry in the NF Rejects of 2012 contest on Sunday #shamelessplug I'm having white gloss units but can't decide between a black, silver or grey work surface ![]() I think I have my choice but not sure on the possibility of success. Does this count towards the final year awards? |

Does this count towards the final year awards? And yes, it counts to the Ultimate FM Award .... I was thinking that I would have a great chance (I may after all give myself first choice ) but I think that my entry just won't be everyone's cup of tea.... Oh well, I started off really well last year, so if I start off a bit crap this year...... |

I once said "I'm going into town, anyone want anything from the shops?" in the office at County Hall and was berated for dissing Norwich as it is a "fine city". They seemed very sensitive about it, yet the phrase doesn't seem to upset the citizens of Coventry, Wolverhampton or Birmingham. Or Lichfield for that matter.
FFS Citizens of Norwich, a throwaway remark is not going to force Her Brendaness to remove your city status, get over it... I'm going to start proper revision now, honest.

I don't support the grand national, the incident involving hose two poor horses pretty much explains my point. They are such wonderful creatures yet people choose to use them as moneymakers. I used to go pony riding when I was 12 (See? Even as a boy I wasn't exactly masculine!
) and I've grown to adore them so much, they're just like big dogs.

It played out so much worse because Synchronised ran off pre-race and then the race was delayed while he was brought back, only for him to end up being shot
![]() Surely there has to be something they can do to reduce the risk involved. They should cut the number of horses for a start, maybe Eurovision style semi finals a few weeks before are needed

It's almost as if Synchronised was trying to say something ![]() The thing is they reduced the height of the fences to try and improve safety this year. It actually made it worse as the horses approached the jumps at a much greater pace. |

P.S. I wouldn't say the horses "love" racing. They are trained to do it, and know no different. Ex-race horses and the foals that don't quite make it on to the racing circuit have terrible lives - often becoming dog meat. |

Not meaning to piss anyone off but I hope all those who are anti horse racing are also vegans who don't wear any animal products either.

![]() I just got off the phone from my ex who is going back to Spain tomorrow, people don't normally say 'love you very much' to their ex's before they hang up do they? Because I just did.

I understand the point you're making. And I know there's suffering involved with most farm animals. But I do think there's a slight difference between dairy cows and animals bred for human entertainment. P.S. How General Discussion are we?

I'm a vegetarian. Veganism just seems impossible.

![]() I toyed with vegetarianism a few tears back but it just makes Christmas buffets so boring! Why shouldn't we breed animals for human entertainment? It's not like they've got souls! And it's not like Simon Cowell doesn't breed humans for human entertainment! I kid, I do have a sort of heart really. Cow sure tastes good though. |

People complain I'm a hypocrite when I complain about animals being shot, the truth is as long as you're going to eat it I don't see the problem. Shooting animals purely for sport is what makes humanity look bad IMO.
