they started me off with Serbia or Boznia and I was just a wee bit too far off

...

that, and I keep forgetting where the Germermans live.



I've taken the test three time since that first one

and the best I've done is 24 miles

39/44 and 64 miles :(

I thought my luv for the European Song Contest would have held sway here.

Of course that meant I had no idea where Norway was :D nil points.


So this game proved to be my personal 'Waterloo' and 'Congratulations' to all that did well. My heart was going 'Boom Bang-a-Bang' as I tried the test and now I feel strung out like a 'Puppet on a String' :roll:

Hmmm..

7 mile average error....

:D


Isreal is actually on another planet, but as thet can't write good country tunes for their American friends we have taken pity on them and have decided to allow them into the Eurovision and NEVER allow them to win until the Palestinians are given nuclear weapons and free parking in Jerusalem on Wednesday afternoons to collect the dole.
