I’ve just seen someone suggest that the host city should be temporarily annexed by Ukraine for the duration of the contest!
(They did genuinely seem serious about it too)
Fuck Liverpool! I don't want to go back THERE for two weeks![]()
Source: Leeds City CouncilSpeaking of my beautiful home city, I resent the ERASURE in the poll considering we've apparently put in one of the strongest bids!
When it first came up, a friend of mine who is pretty into it was messaged by her casual pals asking tips for getting tickets and she literally said something along the lines “If I knew, I wouldn’t tell you!”Already had TWO straight people message me in a "will you get tickets for us?" way.
It's going to be a fucking nightmare to get any, isn't it?
In that case, Jaywick is the way forward. The Russians won’t bother to nuke it because one glance at Google Street View and they’ll think someone beat them to it.Wouldn't that just give Russia diplomatic immunity to nuke Glasgow/Manchester/London/Leeds/Jaywick?![]()

I’m not sure how I feel about anything other than a mainly Ukrainian show with a few nods and thank yous to the UK. It’s not like Ukraine don’t want to host, and it somewhat undermines the good deed the UK are doing if they just make it all about themselves.I'm sure people will be glad of the "Ukrainian elements" that will be featured in the show and I'm glad that they've got UA:PBC on board to take care of those, but I can't wait for the inevitable clashes between the two broadcasters when it comes to how much is actually going to be shoehorned in.
Well the good thing is you have plenty of time to figure out how you’ll feel.I’m not sure how I feel about anything other than a mainly Ukrainian show with a few nods and thank yous to the UK.
