Would there be any opposition in shifting the entry time to say 2pm on Saturday? Saying we don't do the results until Sunday, midday on Saturday is a bit tight for entries. With the bonus point going out on Sunday, and me being unable to get to any good specialist beer shops before midday on Saturday it does limit my entries (no doubt saying that will mean no one will support it!)...

I'm happy to do this. I figured midday would give you all time to get the following week sorted. I don't check any until Saturday evening (provided I'm not in the pub) anyway.
Will update the cut off time for this week and subsequent weeks.

It’s just occurred to me that this evening is Eurovision. With next week being E, it would be an ideal week to have the subject being the winner of Eurovision….. Everybody gets the same notice and the same amount of time to find something.

We need to find a beer from the country that wins?
I think that would be great but it's just a suggestion, it's not my call to make. I have plenty of gin entries for England already (and I'm only entering for the lols, not the points) but I just think it'd be fun to have a country that we don't find out until this evening.

Cue Azerbaijan winning.

Maybe Brickaxe could judge the feasibility based on the winning country or song title etc.

I like it.
E for England is very easy to source so it makes it interesting. I'll update the main page for the theme

E - Eurovision - Enter a beer from the winning country or worst performing country (points, not performance). I'll even allow a beer the name of song from those countries whatever that maybe (I have no idea on this years entries as I haven't looked)

Seeing as its his suggestion, I'll award Feek a point for every country with a land border next to the losing country

Quoted because adding a user tag after an edit doesn’t flag it to the poster.

Excellent, glad you liked the idea.

Well that's mucked up my E Entry I've already emailed off :cry:

Good job I visited a (not so) local off licence earlier today and spent a small fortune stocking up so I'm sure I'll have something suitable no matter which country we decide to go for ;)

I'm still not watching Eurovision tonight though - I'll catch up with the results tomorrow :D

If we’re allowed a beer from the worst performing country your “E for England” beer could still very much be in the running given our competition history. :D
Hahahahah, you could well be right.

Probably nil points to me again then :cry:
