But wasn't it part of our research?  Of course, that was in the days when we were world leaders in the development of nuclear power production.

Quote from: klondike on May 13, 2024, 07:43:04 AMIsrael gets top public vote from 14 countries in Eurovision – plus 'rest of the world'

Voters in Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK give their highest points to Eden Golan



Switzerland may have taken the crown, and Croatia narrowly won the popular vote, but Israel received top points in the televote from the highest number of countries — including the "rest of the world" — at the 2024 Eurovision on Saturday night.After months of calls for Israel to be banned from the international song contest, voters in 14 different countries — out of 37 that were eligible to vote — plus those in all non-participating nations as a group, handed the most possible points, 12, to the Jewish state. Overall, Israel's Eden Golan finished fifth out of the 25 competitors in the Eurovision grand final this year.Ultimately, Israel got top marks from voters in Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, plus the "rest of the world" aggregate. It also got 10 points, the second-highest possible, from Albania, Austria, Cyprus, Czechia, Moldova, Slovenia and even Ireland, considered by many to be one of the most anti-Israel countries in Europe.

I'm very pleased to hear about this.
This would suggest that there is still hope for humanity, and that those biased protesters are actually in the minority and should be treated appropriately by the silent majority of sensible people.

I'm so glad Israel did well, even if they did have to change the title of their song, 5th isn't bad. 

For Muddy !! remember this one from  1979  ?

Pete spent his evenings in the snooker hall
But he never got to pocket a ball
He put out new chalk, and kept the score
And picked up dropped balls that fell on the floor
over the years, Pete had stopped many a brawl

Maybe we could persuade Rwanda to let the dynamic duo reign over them?
