All the Abba hits are repeated on SWR around noon tomorrow if anyone missed them.

Offically it is now called 'Cabo Verde' in English but I am not sure anyone noticed... or even cares...

That may help if you are searching.

Also Swaziland is now Eswatini, but no one has noticed... etc... etc...

Cabo Verde has had few tourists due to covid so they might not have enough money for a fireworks display.

On a good year I think they could do better than the acropolis (its a low bar). :)

I really dont understand the logic of the various governments that announced the fireworks & celebrations were cancelled - and then have something. FFS if you say its cancelled have the balls to stick to your decision. It just makes you look like a bunch of complete indecisive knob ends if you do something after sayng its cancelled.

If the gubbamints are anything like our esteemed Prime Minister Boris Yeltsin and the non entity on the other side things like firework displays and pissups in breweries are too complicated for them which is why it all ends up in a big mess.

The logic is they don't want people to turn up but at the same time entertain those watching from home. Thing is I can guarantee there will still be people traveling to these places, I know someone who has traveled to central London

As seen on the Reuters feed earlier, half of the dipsticks had no face masks.

It would have helped if there were party programmes on TV like everywhere else in Europe but it seems the medja morons are too barmy to think of that.

And thats exactly the point - if folks know the government will put summat on despite saying its cancelled then they are going to go & have a look. Its human nature

FFS do what Germany did - run a playback of an old firework display in London - there are enough of the bloody things.

Greece Im looking at you too!

Just remembered our gubbamint and opposition are so useless they couldn't put up a temporary transmitter the same day or the next day when Bilsdale went down. That is pissup in a brewery level and says it all about their competence.

(Not going to mention the 'great sucess' that Brexit obviously isn't.)

CNN is awful without Kathy.

Torture.

Rio de Janeiro should be next but I don't know what is going to happen there.
