Posting problems sorted.....game on.

This is my 1000th post!!!!
It's taken me over 4 years to achieve this.
Just wish this post could have been somewhat more interesting.:(

Ada.

[scaaty]

Congratulations Ada - may have taken 4 years, but it's quality not quantity that counts :)

Thanks for another great competition, I'll certainly be having a go even though I haven't heard any of the songs - I'll number them and use my lottery numbers I think, never done me any good on the lottery so maybe they'll work for this! :rolleyes:

[vegyjones]

Is Eurovision next week?

[TheGoodGuy]

Vegy,

Yes....

BBC1 - Saturday 20th May.

Ada.

[vegyjones]

Ta - when I saw it said in-running I feared it was today! :yikes:

[TheGoodGuy]

I haven't heard any of the songs
Try the link I've added to the main post.......you never know, it might give you that edge......(or maybe not).

Ada.

[vegyjones]

Whichever country has a new Prime Mister / President will win! :D

That makes Italy favourites :D

[TheGoodGuy]

There might be hope for us then, if things move as quickly as the rest of the country would like........(then again, maybe not)

Ada.

[scaaty]

Try the link I've added to the main post.......you never know, it might give you that edge......(or maybe not).

Ada.

Thanks Ada, just listened to them and now I've got a bit of a dilemma - should the ones that made me laugh the most go in my top 5 or bottom 3 ??? :doh :laugh

[Ruby]

Adaaaa!! How are you??
I would like to have a go at this quiz, thanks for cococting it! Can't figure out how to play the video clips tho, I think I need to download some programme or other..any idea which?
Failing that I 'll just go for what ole Wogan says!!
TTFN..... Roobs :wiggle:

[TheGoodGuy]

Roobs.......
Where've you been?
Missed you loads!!!!!!!
Welcome back.......

The Euro audio/videos play mainly OK on my machine....very slow to connect though.
My machine plays them using Real Player.
You're not missing much if you can't see/hear them....

Great to hear from you again......don't leave it so long next time!!!!!!!!

Ada. :spinning

[Ruby]

Awww.....Sank you darrrrlink!!!
Have been very busy, work intrudes upon life I am afraid!!
Still, girl's gotta eat, and so do her offspring!
Yep I think I have to download real player, so I will get on with it. If you don't hear from me again ,it's because I have downloaded something naaasteee, and me machine is caput! :yikes:

[Fadetoblack]

Just listening to Britain's eurovision effort. It's the cheesiest...truly worst record I have ever heard. Yet...the bit with the kid's singing and the general beat is pretty damn catchy. The lyrics and the singer should ensure that it doesn't win...but the kids should prevent the wooden spoon.

[bigcumba]

That's my entry sent off Ada.:)

IMPORTANT EUROVISION GAME NOTICE

Please read the 1st post in this thread AGAIN for update.

I have had to edit the main post on this thread to rectify a rather large up-cock made by myself concerning the 2006 Eurovision contest procedures.

Unbeknown to me until earlier today, there are only 24 finalists in Saturday's showdown.
A semi-final show on Thursday decides the 10 countries that will join the 14 already automatically qualified.

I have therefore extended the closing date for entries until 17:00 Saturday, and would remind those of you who have already submitted your entries, namely Sparkyminer, Bigcumba & Wbailey, that you are encouraged to re-send your nominations, probably after Thursday's show, if you so desire.

My apologies for the confusion...

Ada. :doh

[bigcumba]

No probs Ada, that semi final is news to me too.... probably to keep the show under 5 hours... :yikes:

[vegyjones]

I dunno. What's wrong with the tried and trested format!

If it ain't broke don't fix it! :mad:

Although, we are talking Eurovision here aren't we?? Ooo

[mathare]

Didn't they have a semi-final last year too?

[Fadetoblack]

They had something before the main event alright...i can't recall whether it was a semi final or not but our two mutant lesbian twins were involved in it.

[vegyjones]

:laugh :laugh

[mathare]

mutant lesbian twinsKeep Presto away from them :icon_tong

[TheGoodGuy]

The Show Format
The format of the show changed in 2004 with the introduction of a semi-final. As rousing and entertaining as the entries always prove to be, watching all of them in one sitting was perhaps too much for the millions who watched in 2003.

This year 23 countries will perform in the semi with the highest-scoring ten countries going through to the final. The running order of both shows, and scoring order, is decided by random draw.

Ada.

[sparkyminer]

Cheers Ada, but if we're any good we'll only have to resubmit the bottom three surely.:wink :D

[TheGoodGuy]

OK....

The Semi Final results are in....

Please refer to the first post in this thread (again), which is now updated and contains the 24 finalists taking part in Saturday's Eurovision contest.

I await your (Emailed) entries....

Ada.

[bigcumba]

[mathare]

Entry just submitted

[scaaty]

Just sent mine - best of luck everyone :)

[vegyjones]

Mine has been sent!

[sparkyminer]

New entry submitted.:)

[Iron Chris]

Entry Sent - Hopefully..:wink :)

[wb]

New entry submitted - 19th May - 7:10pm

[TheGoodGuy]

So far just 6 entries received with, at the moment a 7th incomplete entry....

...so for now the prize money stands at just &#163;10.

You have until 17:00 Saturday to have a go (see 1st post on thread for details).

Looks like I will have to call on Vegy & Mathare to drum up more support again if the prize money is to increase.

By the way, ...I will also be having a shot at this...
...so if my selections give me the highest score, then I pay out nothing at all.

Ada.

[mathare]

Give me a minute on this one....

EDIT: Hopefully this (http://www.win2win.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=39943) will attract a few more entrants Ada :)

[roma]

Now Playing: Russia
Dima Bilan used to perform on the staircase for his neighbours when he was a kid. Singing 'Never let you go' at Eurovision is a natural career progression.

He's gorgeous. Has to win. :D

[tophatter]

I will be having a go Ada

[scaaty]

He's gorgeous. Has to win. :D

Oh, come on - he's nowhere near as gorgeous as Finland's lead singer ! :D

[roma]

:laugh :laugh

Missed Finland, thought it was all girls, due to watching only first 30 seconds of each.

Oh well, too late now, entry sent off :(

[TheGoodGuy]

Roma,

You can always change your mind if you want...

I will accept the Email I receive from you (and anyone else for that matter) sent/received nearest to the closing time of 17:00 Saturday as your final entry.

Ada.

[Ruby]

Ok have sent mine ..:)

[Fadetoblack]

The results of the fadetoblack Jury have been submitted.

[TheGoodGuy]

Ruby,

I still haven't received anything from you as yet (13:00)....please check & send again if possible!!!!!!!

Ada.

[tophatter]

mine is sent

[TheGoodGuy]

Time's up...

No more entries will be accepted........EXCEPT from Ruby (I never received your Email) and Wbailey (complete entry required).

Wbailey - I am going to use 2 of your 'last 3' choices from your first Email & unless I hear from you before 20:00 I am going to use the rank outsider as the 3rd 'last 3' to make your entry complete. Hope that makes sense.

Update to follow...

Ada.

[TheGoodGuy]

OK everyone,

As 12 of you have opted to play, the prize up for grabs is &#163;20 of Amazon eVouchers.

SEE THE TABLE BELOW TO VIEW YOUR CHOSEN SELECTIONS ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSES.

Scoring
The person finishing with the overall highest score will be declared the winner & will win the &#163;20 prize...however, if I score the highest, then I win and therefore won't have to shell out any prize money.

Each person will start with 100 points.
Points will be added or deducted to this score using the following rules:

i) If you correctly predict the final placing of any of your nominated countries: 10 points will be added to your score.

ii) If any of your nominated countries finish in either the Top 5 or Bottom 3 zones but are incorrectly placed within those zones….. 5 points MINUS the difference between the country’s actual placing & your predicted placing will be added to your score….
For example: If you predict that the UK will finish in 2nd place but they ACTUALLY finish in 4th place…. 5 points (for correctly predicting UK to finish in the Top 5) MINUS the difference between their actual placing (4) and predicted placing (2) …………… 5-(4-2) = 3 points will be added to your score.

iii) If any of your nominated countries fail to finish in either the Top 5 or Bottom 3 zones, the difference between the country’s actual placing & your predicted placing will be DEDUCTED from your score…..
For example: If you predict that the UK will finish in 4th place but they ACTUALLY finish in 21st place…. 21 – 4 = 17 points will be deducted from your score.

I'm going to win this because I haven't heard any of them apart from a wee bit of the mad Finns and our own (c)rap song. Remember there will be the usual political voting as well with the eastern Europeans all voting for their friends.... and the French and Germans no doubt giving us nil points to wind things up a bit for the footie!

I never thought this thread would create so much interest....

For the record.....
Piggy, I can't accept your entry.....
1. You voted too late....
2. You've picked 3 countries that aren't even competing.

Now if I had seen & listened to these before the event, rather than just wildly picking them at 'random', I think I would have picked Denmark Germany Greece & Sweden to be up there with a chance.

I'd definitely give that Swedish singer one..................for effort at least.

Ada.

IN REVERSE ORDER...

13th PEZA2605 - 6pts.
11th (Joint) VEGYJONES & HUDSONMAT - 21pts. (Couldn't even split you with the UK tiebreak - both chose 12th)
10th WBAILEY - 24pts.
9th SCAATY - 25pts.
8th ROMA - 33pts.
7th SPARKYMINER - 40pts.

Well done Chris, I will contact you later on, regarding your prize, once any stewards enquiries have been sorted...

...and thanks to you all for taking part in what turned out to be a more popular game than I ever imagined.

Cheers...

Ada.

[vegyjones]

Well done Chris!

How many of Ada's games do you intend on winning?? :rolleyes:

All hands up for a ban on Iron Chris in the Big Brother comp! :Helooo :D

[scaaty]

Well done Chris, great score ! :thumbs Have fun spending your prize :)

[Iron Chris]

Thanks everyone........ I think...:geek

It must have been my lucky ABBA outfit that did it for me as well as my ESB (Eurovision Systems Builder)...:D :D

Time to go into hiding I think... :peeky

Thanks for another great competition Ada, it certainly created some interest with grown men doing a running commentary..... is it possible we can delete all the posts now so people won't know...:laugh :laugh

[roma]

is it possible we can delete all the posts now so people won't know...:laugh :laugh


Please nooooo .... I didn't get to watch it, but this thread is a great second best. Can't you just change your names instead
:D

[bigcumba]

well done Chris.... now how are you going to tell your mates you won a Eurovision competition? :yikes:

[Fadetoblack]

In my day we rewarded runners up with a consolation prize! :wink


Well done Chris and thanks again Ada.

[sparkyminer]

Well done Chris. I'm happy with mid-table mediocrity after just blindly making my selections.:)

[mathare]

The following people should all be embarrassed as they lost to a random number generator:

Peza, Vegy, Hudsonmat, Wayne, Scaaty, Roma, Sparky

Iron Chris should also be very embarassed as he won the thing!

Well done on the comp Ada, very well run. I even sat through all of Eurovision last night because I had entered this. Amazing the number of Shakira soundalikes that are out there. And one of them was a bit Spice Girls-esque.

Gotta love Finland's entry though :laugh

[Ruby]

Well done Chris, :D

[TheGoodGuy]

No stewards enquiries about the scoring, so...

FAO Iron Chris...

Do you want your £20 Amazon eVoucher prize sent to the Email address you used for the Eurovision game?
If not please Email me at the Euro address with an alternative.

Awaiting your decision...

Ada.

[Iron Chris]

That will be fine Ada and much appreciated...:)

Thanks again for running another excellent competition.

The wife is more of a BB expert than me, so will probably rope her in on that one, though we haven't seen much of it yet..:wink

[TheGoodGuy]

On its way Chris...

Should be with you any time soon...

And that concludes the Win2Win Eurovision Game 2006.

Thanks to all of you for taking part.

Regards

Ada.
