Sarah_loves_mika Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Oh really? haha never heard of em! They're Americans who sing with an Irish accent? oh dear... A penny whistle? is that a tin whistle yeah? Gosh I'm so uncultured Well, i think thats what they do. I only heard one of their songs because it was on tony hawks pro skater 4! Tin whistle. yeah! well, it said penny whistle on the box, but more people call it just tin i think. I got one of those Irish drums aswell, but i cant remember what you call them. I can't play that though! i just make a load of noise with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it must've been that I don't know if I've ever heard it called the penny whistle before actually, we just call it the tin whistle here! I used to play it as well when I was younger but haven't in years now though but it's still around the place somewhere! Oh I know what you mean! It's a Irish word though so I can't spell it it's pronounced "bow-rawn" though isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly people! You got a free Cd with it, and the playing on it was awesome. I can barely get 3 blind mice out of it. Yeah! That's that drum thing! It's cool. Going back to last night?

I'm afraid that's the direction eurovision is going in though. Remember the Ukraines entry last year? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mY1AnCJsxDk It's a bit silly to be honest, but i'm looking forward to seeing what the UK can come up with..... something naff as usual.

I was surprised. I guess it's still a bit political though. But we always vote for Ireland and Ireland vote for us..... so.... I thought we had it when they did the dance with the trolleys and it had all the flags on it. But i guess not. I thought Sweden should have won last year though! I love The Ark anyway. It can go 2 ways for Ireland. Either it'll be a huge hit like the Ukraine, or all the europeans will be like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just wasn't Scooch's night was it? hey! wait a minute though, didn't ye only give us like 2 points last year? I don't remember Sweden now, I loved the entry for Belarus though! http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=SO59TirWdks Yeah that's what I was thinking, they'll either love it or hate it! I don't think it'll do as bad as last year anyway, it'd be hard to top that like but, hmm... we'll see! I'll vote for the UK if you vote for Ireland, deal?

tauruslady Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi all, I read the last few pages and see that ye'r not happy about Dustin in Eurovision.. Being completely honest, I'm actually looking forward now!!! I've a feeling that Dustin will do better than we expect...and well at least he's not boring like last year. I actually can't wait, its rubbish but its funny rubbish and I'm sure anyone with a sense of humour will like Dustin.. And the Eurosvision has been a bit of a joke for a long time now, so I'm just glad that we can have a sense of humour about it..(even if it is completely terrible!)

Yeah I agree with you there, I don't think Ireland will do too bad with it, it's actually fairly upbeat and stuff but it was just a shock to begin with cos we've never sent anything like that before but I am looking forward to seeing how Europe reacts to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do really wonder sometimes though...(not about the fact that the Irish exist) but I wonder why there seems to be very few Mika fans..online anyway. I mean I hear Mika on the radio multiple times a day here, so its obvious that people like the man, but no one seems to be completely obsessed or anything... And his album and singles have done fairly well so........... and the lack of concerts here....I just wonder sometimes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if he came here more often (*ahem* ever!) and actually played a show more people would join, like he's only ever played here at Oxegen 07 and that wasn't a proper concert y'know? I know a lot of people who like him now and have told them that I'm on the MFC but they dont really seem interested in joining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you got to see him one time he did play here! And I remember reading somewhere that the dodgy holiday tour was actually set up by an Irish accountants firm! So I was almost waiting for an announcment that he'd play here...and nothing happened... and he once said in an interview that he likes the Irish accent!!So why won't he visit us!..
