Title: Everyone hates the UK :P
Post by: Shockwave on May 12, 2007: Who's watching Eurovision?

Will Uk get any points? We don't deserve them :P Terry Wogan is properly pissed as usual, getting interesting now, the voting is going on as I write this.

Post by: Shockwave on May 12, 2007: It was vintage Terry tonight, but he seemed happy at least that Britain got some points.

I listen to his breakfast show every day on Radio 2, the man is a legend :) You can probably hear it off the radio 2 website.

Post by: taj on May 20, 2007: I agree the song was so "we are in your face and we love Britain" it engendered anti-UK votes which as an ex pat I canm assure you are hanging around in the ether looking for an excuse to manifest.

Jim Im interested how the Uk is perceived in Au right now?

Post by: Jim on May 21, 2007: Australia generally don't care about the pommes. There's no particular love or hate. The amusing thing is most people say given a straight vote about becoming independent or remaining in the Commonwealth they'd vote for the former. But it's not something at the top of the social conscience. They're more interested in thrashing England at sports, like cricket, rugby and soccer.
