Big turnout! Decent effort by Chatteris against the juggernaut that is NSD. I think we all felt this might have been as far as plucky Wrong Grave would get…

So the decision to put the quarters on terrestrial tv results in a 20% increase on participation! Or are some people voting more than once? Just asking (in anticipation).

I have just heard that the Rotary Club of Chatteris wanted to organise an open top bus parade for the plucky song that won the hearts of the nation but that their steel hearted manager pulled the plug because they hadn’t actually won anything. They hope to learn from playing against ‘the big boys’ but in the meantime will take stock, learn and then go again.

Farewell sweet Chatteris……
NSD must be ‘on the ‘roids’.

Curse those in charge of plots to get Wrong Grave knocked out. I’m inconsolable.

4 for 4 predicted and only a point or two out with two of them. NSD remains favourite to retain the title, 24HGP very long odds to survive against anyone in the semis.

What has NSD got on folk? 56 more votes on that tie than any other.

National Shite Day is a towering outpouring of angst that knocks even How Soon is Now for six in the angst stakes. It was played in Leicester in 2011, the night before the parasites got wed, and was introduced as a precursor to the day. I and several hundred others have never pumped out the title words in the chorus with such heartfelt gusto. Stringy Bob would have been pleased, perhaps.

Yes, it was a (short-lived) dump. Feet sticking to the carpet sort of place. Good gig, thobut…
Buzzzzzz! (Self-)Repetition of ‘angst’.

On the subject of the first fixture getting considerably more votes than the others, I do think it’s quite the coincidence that it’s the one involving ‘Chatteris’. As some of you may remember, someone went to considerable effort to fix the vote against the song in the 2015 competition, and they’re probably still around, so may well have been up to the same tricks. One thing I think they did then was to rope in help from an online forum, and we’ll probably never know if that’s been the case again this time. Sad if that’s the case, but not much we can do about it.
Or maybe I’m just being a bit of a conspiracy theorist, and perhaps as Welsh Goth says, it could just have been the televised fixture.

My post after the last round about “first item” bias, and taking the piss out of the ADHD of the 7-8-9% of voters who can’t be arsed voting after the first tie, which has been much the same in all three rounds so far, was entirely serious. Who are these people?
An interesting freedom of information request would be how many of them responded to Tw*tter marketing of the event, which might in large part explain their ADHD, lack of commitment, etc.

An anagram? Surely not! – unfinished business by a long way.

Still smarting over Terminus. Glad we still have a representative from the “new” album in the mix proving that Nigel and the lads are still producing great songs. Should be a sell out crowd for the semi’s (although I felt there was more intrigue in pool games)
