morning
@raymcdermott are you actually in europe now or in a CET-compatible timezone? :thinking_face:
One of my waiters just had this .... Waiter, waiter I have a 🐛 in my Clojure code ... so I guess I know what I'm doing this morning
@ordnungswidrig I live in Belgium, have done for > 12 years
@raymcdermott why did I put you in South Africa? I guess a TooManyPeopleMetAtConferencesException 😛
I did work in post-apartheid ZA for a short while (on their vehicle licensing system - using awk!!) but not sure I have ever shared that experience
made me appreciate how much colonialists can fuck up a truly beautiful country - I mean they did it everywhere but that one was / is a horrible mess
pretty sure they're also in the eurovision song contest, though not sure that's a TZ thing ... really not sure what that is
hmmm ... actually I'm wrong about that ... but my other point stands ... still not really sure what qualification is for that
@raymcdermott Eurovision was never the same for me after Terry Wogan stopped being the voice over in the UK. Although Graham Norton wasn't too bad.
I think Graham Norton captures the campness of the contest's current manifestation well, Wogan had more of a pity vibe for me that I didn't warm to
EuroVision would have been about 20k from where I live at the moment, closest I'd ever get.
don't know but hopefully they'll run it where you are if you intended to go along - looks like great fun to be at, very spectacular
yeah @thomas they're gonna have a regular edition again next year. @raymcdermott you're thinking of Australia
There is the diagram of the different concepts of “Europe”
Africa looks similar
Eurovision is the European Broadcasting Union. Australia is an associate member. Lots of other countries are as well tho and I'm not sure why they aren't in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Broadcasting_Union#Members
