       Might not even be nice. We'd have to see.
—Ian Tindale, Jun 01 2006
   

       split west and eastern europe please into 2 contests - I cannot keep up with the voting

       Mi emi tiu ideo. La artistoj kantas plejofte en la lingvo angla. Tiu lingvo estos tro enuiga por kantado.
—Saruman, Jun 03 2006
   

       Maybe a rule that says that the lyrics of all countries' songs must include a national insult to their neighbours and we might see a change in the voting patterns.

       hee hee!

       That's the first time I've ever seen or heard anyone use Esperanto. [Saruman] If I knew what plejo and enuiga meant I think I could understand what you've written. Very weird.

       I liked:   

       "Je t'adore And I can't conceal it Je t'adore Anyone can see it You give me just a little more Of everything I've waited for Je t'adore Here's my heart so take it Je t'adore Only you can break it You got me fallen to the floor Anyway you want I'm yours Ooh je t'adore"   

       That Belgian song was the big favorite, but sadly, the stupid Eurosong voting system made us lose. There just aren't enough Belgians living in the Ukraine or in Latvia. Tssss...   

       Anyway, we won, and we're proud of it. Kate Ryan, je t'adore.

Why?
—DrBob, Jun 06 2006
   

       What's Esperanto for 'United Kingdom, No Points' ?
—monojohnny, Jun 06 2006
   

       + anything to make it slightly less boring.   

       In fact, even better - get rid of it completely!
—webfishrune, Jun 06 2006
   

       Zimmy: It means "I like this idea. Most artists sing in English. That language is too boring for songs." I probably made a lot of mistakes, though.
—Saruman, Jun 06 2006
   

       That's how I understood it, [Saruman]
—gnomethang, Jun 06 2006
   

       most probably [Saruman]   

       but then I'm crazy...
—po, Jun 06 2006
   

       Bun to [Saruman] for being able to speak a language that's not only dead, but was never actually alive in the first place.
—wagster, Jun 06 2006
   

       is it possible to do an autopsy on a language?   

       <please?)
—po, Jun 06 2006
   

       I got most of what you meant except "boring" after a 1 min look at a website on Esperanto. (I mostly wanted to see if what you wrote was really Esperanto). I've only heard of the language mentioned a few times before.
—Zimmy, Jun 06 2006
   

       enuiga is very similar to ennui (boredom) in French so I took a flyer.
—gnomethang, Jun 07 2006
   

       I know quite a few words in Spanish, but that was not one. & I can only speak to most of my neighbors as a child in Spanish .. so embarassing (for an Ohioan, I guess).
