Welp.... The voting was kinda disappointing.
Nothing against Sweden, but Finnland was clearly the favorit.

Today is the day for ESC-finale. The Time of the year where every EU country acts as if we all are best friends until the voting starts, then we call eachother racial slurs that goes back at least five generations. And Australia suddenly is part of the EU for the next 12 hours.
I have a good feeling that Austria song will get some points.
However Poland whyyyyyyy. Why sending a polish version of 2016 Ariana Grande. Jann with his Gladiator song would've easily be in top 5 of the voting, if not even top 3.

@Kastgss of course his performance was "improper" for them. They even get offended by colorful umbrellas. I'm unimaginable mad how Jann was treated. He's clearly the favorit of the public.
Kastgss
@Potato0exe Imagine our shock when we actually got to the final. (And I’m talking about Poland’s song, if that wasn’t clear from the last comment)
Kastgss
@Potato0exe We hate the song too! It became a meme INSTANTLY and everyone is making fun of it. There are actually suspicions that the voting was rigged because the singer hired dancers from one of the jury’s dance studio and another jury (Edyta Górniak) is biased - I don’t remember why, though. It is also said that the party that controls the tv station that organized the whole thing considered Jann’s performance „improper” xD. The public definitely preferred Jann.

Finally Charles got a job in his tender age of 74.
Now my friends and I are betting on how long he'll rule as king before he dies. My bet is 5 years.
And someone drew a nearly 10 meter long perfectly symmetric dick on the lawn where one of the many coronation parties were planned.

On 19 March 1917 the British government offered the Romanov family asylum on their Island. This was motivated by King George V as he's the cousin of Tsar Nicholas II and having a strong kinship with him.
The Russian government accept the offer as they lost more control against the Red Rebellion. But during the travel through the Baltic sea on 19 October 1917 as the Romanov were traveling, as secret passengers in a British pre-dreadnought battleship, they landed in the middle of an active battle of Moon Sound.
The ship became heavily damaged with 24 dead and 69 wounded. Unfortunately the Romanov family were one of the dead.
Not wanting to get punished by the Russian and British government the crew decided to push the Romanovs into the sea and call them as missing. They also threw some of their belongings that they had with them. One of it is a book "The Protocols of the Elder of Zion". A book that Nicholas II read many times to his family.
This book is later found on a beach in Danzig by an angry mustache man, who took it as inspiration for his future political movement. And if you start to believe it, then please for heaven's sake get off from your phone and look at your calendar.

Would anyone belief me, if I say that CIA once pretended to be vampires so they could take over Philippines and even succeeded.
Potato0exe
@redorgane890 Yup. They worked together with the Philippines government to defeat the rebels. They took one of the rebel create puncture wound and drained his blood before dropping the dead body back to where they kidnapped him. It made look like as if a vampire did that.

It could be a funny story, or something that I will find it hilarious after a while, but right now I extremely pissed.
Sometimes I like to think that the slavic stereotypes of us being grumpy antisocial poor drunks is not true. UNTIL MY FAMILY DECIDES TO PROVE IT RIGHT!
Within 24 hours two of my relatives, fully grown and having adult responsibility, gotten caught during DUI. They both lost their license!
Monday I kinda understand because there is still rest alcohol in your system from Sunday drinking. BUT NOT MF TUESDAY! Because of his "morning drink" I became the only one in the family who's still allowed to be on the road!!!AGAIN!!
I swear to God. The tree on the road side looks more huggable each passing day.

Random history fact of today:
In Russia history they only once prohibited selling vodka. It was during WW1, 1914, when the tsar Nicholas II decided to do something against the drunken soldiers in his army. This issue of drunk soldiers on the battlefield made them lose the Japanese-Russia war 1904-05.
So by stopping the retail sale of vodka, he hoped it will help him win the war.
It ended catastrophic as vodka sales was basically 1/3 of the empire's revenue and people started to make moonshine. What also made the wheat and bread shortage worse during the war. So at the end Tsar Nicholas II created a bigger food shortage and had less money to support the war.
I know that Tsar Nicholas II was basically thrown on the place as a Tsar without knowing anything and with having a homeless delusional wizard as his closest advisor, but this decision was just a new level of stupidity.
