It's what was the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). There's been a running dispute between them and Greece over the use of the name since Yugoslavia dissolved in the early 90s as it is adjacent to the Greek province of Macedonia and Greece claims it for its own on a historical basis (it's where Alexander the Great came from). As a compromise (sort of), the Greeks agreed to the use of the name as long as they didn't just call it Macedonia. It's been a bone of contention for centuries. I believe the Bulgarians are also party to this dispute, it's a bit like Norwood, there's South, West but no west or north, and where are West, South and North Grinstead while we're at it?

not wanting to claim credit here, but with reference to an earlier post of mine on this thread, I can remember the last time the Dutch won Eurovision, anyone remember the name of the song? Tiptoe through the tulips?

I don't know why we bother to contribute to the thing. Our modern popular musical culture has always been different to Europe. We never take it seriously.

Hatari released a new song with gay Palestinian pop singer Bashar Murad and it slaps: Hatari basically the only reason I watched Eurovision this year. They're like a watered down KLF.

This video has it all, homoerotic tropes and Palestinian flags for the left here, and 'it'll be all reich on the night' tones for the jackbooters edit: oh they're from Iceland not Germany.

Tiptoe through the tulips? no … Ding Ding Dong. Yep. that's what I call a proper name for a song, even better than the 1968 winner La La La.
