Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

  • I’ve only just seen this.

    Thank you for running this instance! Until it got blocked from the UK (I understand the reasons but it made it difficult to tell whether it was up or down, and is also the reason I’ve only just seen this post) it was my favourite place to host general communities.

    Unless there’s any update on this I will begin to migrate my communities elsewhere (probably db0).
















  • They got through the semis, which I was surprised about. The song was better than some in that batch, but my favourite (Estonia) failed to make it through.

    I keep seeing reports that they might boot Israel into Eurovision Asia. I have mixed feelings about that. Whilst they are technically off the European continent, they are more European than the list of countries competing in the first Eurovision Asia, and I’m not sure the participants of that will be keen on them either. You also then have to kick out or justify the inclusion of Azerbaijan etc, who have (as far as I know) done no wrong.

    Hopefully they won’t win. If they do I suspect they won’t be allowed to host due to ongoing war. Will anyone want to host for them if that happens? Maybe the EBU will conveniently find evidence of vote manipulation and nullify the win (if they do, hopefully for everybody’s sake they will find it before they announce the results) - they’ve already given them a formal warning about this. As you say; fucking nightmare.










  • I’ve only ever owned electric mowers (actually, that shouldn’t be plural - I’ve only ever owned one electric mower which I brought back in 2007 when I got a house with a garden). It isn’t a battery one - I’m not sure they existed back then - but I will change it for one when I have to replace it as the cable’s a bit annoying.

    I’d actually rather leave the grass to grow but apparently it looks untidy.
