No, not Portugal again. How did they even qualify with this weird song?

 

Usually, I like Portugal at Eurovision. This year I did not listen to their song. I`ll see.

If she's already thinking that way, perhaps the wedding should be postponed until she's in equal footing with her husband-to-be

This is one thing even I told her. But the date is already fixed. Hall is booked and everything done.  Let's see what she does.

If I were your friend, I would demand to live apart from the in-laws and vice versa, for the sake of fairness both side, and for the newly-weds to get to know each other well at their own phase while keeping their privacy.

Oh they are actually going to live in her parents' house after marriage for a month. Lol. She actually got a fellowship in a different city, so she will be moving out for a year and once they come back they will find a place of their own. Living with her in laws was never an option. Haha. Even for that one month she said it is impossible for her to live there as their house is very small.

 

Even if I get married I would never live with my in laws, unless they are physically not well and cannot live alone.

Usually, I hate Portugal at Eurovision. This year is no exception. I just don't understand their music at all.

 

Cyprus up next. They'll get the full 12 points from Greece.

 

Looks like Finland's entry found their pants but lost @joccu

Really? I like the language and sometimes I like their song too. I loved the song when Salvador Sobral won in 2007.

My hub's subordinate's sister was murdered recently by the in-laws. Husband ran away, and police are looking for him. 

Oh no. Her family must have been devastated. Things like these are what making me so afraid about getting into this marriage thing. I'm living so happily right now without any worries or responsibilities, why the hell should I go and fall into this trap willingly? What would I get out of this? Companion? Kids? Please these can be acquired by other means too. Lol. The cost benefit ratio for getting married doesn't seem good to me. Meh

I'm sorry if I sound like a snob, but why are the in-laws domineering again with their daughter-in-law to be, when she sounds like she's from a more comfortable background than they do and is also accomplished by her own rights?

The problem is that they'll face more issues if they still don't click after marriage... The cost of the booked venue and others won't be worth the heartache if her misgivings become her daily reality. Its good though that she won't really have to live with the in-laws except for that one month.

 

The subordinate was asking hubs a couple weeks ago whether he can help him take more leave days (sub already used up his 1mo annual leave) so that he could go back to his country and follow-up the case.

 

It seems it's because late sister and husband were still childless after more than 10 years together? But if that was the problem, if it was her unable to, shouldn't they have let go of her and find another wife for their son, rather than killing her? Besides, it might be the son having problems and not her.

 

Though HR didn't grant more leave days, the case was high profile enough for the police to keep following through and hunting the missing husband. The in-laws who are suspected of murdering his sister are also presently in jail.

I don't understand why this is acceptable, but Finland's no pants isn't?

The hypocrisy.

Did they not let him sing on stage without pants?

 

Edit> Now I see Finland and he is without pants. They kept the choreography. With or withoput pants.... I am not a fan of the song. Sorry.

No they did, but a lot of people are complaining about it.

 

It's Baby Lasagna time peeps!

 

He seems to be quite shy IRL.

What is the added value of performing naked? Why can't performers just keep their clothes on? It's like anything goes in Eurovision. Never watched before but I believe I've seen every kind of weird now. 

 

Can't really follow what Lasagna boy is singing about but the song is quite catchy. And he's dressed! That's a plus!

As I said it is a norm here, the groom's side will always have the upper hand in every matter. Patriarchial society. If a marriage breaks, they think that the bride's side has more to lose than groom's. Which is such a old fashioned thinking, I know. Dowry is still very much a thing here. They dont just explicitly ask it, but its just a unspoken agreemnet that we give a certain amount of gold. My friend is a dentist like me, her parents are both doctors. Her father is a military doctor actually. And her sister is also a doctor. And they are also older than the groom's parents by 10 years atleast. That is why she is more pissed. She is saying that, they are disrespecting her parents. Sigh.

Oh, here are the lyrics:

 

Ay, I'm a big boy now
I'm ready to leave, ciao, mamma, ciao
Ay, I'm a big boy now
I'm going away and I sold my cow

 

Before I leave, I must confess
I need a round of decompress
One more time for all the good times
Rim-tim-tagi-digi, dim-tim-tim

 

Gonna miss you all, but mostly the cat
Gonna miss my hay, gonna miss my bed
But most of all, I'ma miss the dance
So come on y'all, let us prance

 

Now don't call, don't write
I'm leavin' with the first light
Don't cry, but dance
Rim-tim-tagi-digi, dim-tim-tim

There's no going back (whoa)
My presence fades to black (whoa)
Yeah, there's no going back (whoa)
My anxiety attacks (whoa)
Rim-tim-tagi-digi, dim-tim-tagi-digi-dim

 

I hope I find peace in the noise
Wanna become one of them city boys
They're all so pretty and so advanced
Maybe they also know our dance

 

Bye mom, bye dad
Meow, cat, please, meow back
Don't cry, just dance
Rim-tim-tagi-digi, dim-tim-tim

There's no going back (whoa)
My presence fades to black (whoa)
Yeah, there's no going back (whoa)
My anxiety attacks (whoa)
Rim-tim-tagi-digi-dim-tim-tagi-digi-dim

I just watched Portugal. I liked the performance and the song. Maybe it won`t get many votes but I liked it.

You always like the songs I don't. Am pretty sure you like France's performance too?

 

@kokodus @MayanEcho All I can say is that life would be so much easier for everyone - especially women - if they followed the Nordic countries' philosophy of everyone being equal. Regardless of age, position or status.
