Were they celebs who weren't even born when the events happened but seem to be able to remember them in minute detail? Which seems typical for Channel 5 talking heads.

The Eurovision scorecard on the BBC website don't work. Impossible to print properly. When put into landscape using Firefox it misses off the total box for the entire second half of the contest (replaced with a white strip). On goggle Chrome it's even more useless as Chrome doesn't give you the option to put it in landscape anyway.
Having to handwrite them instead.
I also miss a bit from the front but that is due to the ink being incorrectly fitted in my printer.


I might be a bit late to this party but whatever.

Yeah I hardly think saying "ink is incorrectly fitted in my printer" adds any disambiguation as to where the problem lies here (how can you "incorrectly fit" ink? Either it goes in or it doesn't, there's no halfway house!)

Firefox chopping off part of the document is almost always caused because you haven't told it to fit to the page so you're keeping it at 100% or whatever and its too big for a sheet of A4.

As for the "issues" you mention in Chrome, Chrome does not get to 60% of the web market share by not being able to print in landscape. in PDF mode it will usually default to the best option going if you print the PDF from the browser which for the scorecard is a single sheet of A4 in landscape mode. If you are not seeing this then it means your printer default configuration is wrong and Chrome will not know any better, so until you fix the underlying issue it will also affect your Firefox too.

As for "complain to the BBC", yeah good luck with that, nobody else has had a problem and any computer that's set up properly (and correctly) can open and print that document in about three clicks. The fact you can't suggests there is an issue with your setup and all Auntie will do is point and laugh and tell you to go away.

TL;DR - problem is an ID:10T error Very Happy Smile

And that is why they are millions of people whose life is stressed out by the mocking tones of the technopille's towards those who are a little less technologically skilled.

Let's be honest here, how much technical know how do you need to click on a link, click on another link and then click on the big "print" button? Programming a VCR is more complicated.

What do you want exactly, somebody from the BBC to come round your house and print a score card for you because you can't?

My god how old are you? A fellow employee at my own work is 72 and manages to use Office 365 including MS Visio with her eyes closed.

What seems to be your point?

To be fair, most of them were past ESC presenters and performers, but they had still clearly been shown the clips that they had ‘remembered’

I'm struggling to decide on what European broadcaster to watch tonight along the BBC. I've currently got KAN on at the minute but might switch to SVT at 8pm.
UK
UKnews
Well the FA Cup final was a bit of a let down for my team but at least I got onto a tube quick enough that’ll I not be watching that far behind. Nice distraction that.

There will be RÚV.is stream with English commentary for the final, if takes your fancy.

Decision taken, YouTube 'Vanilla' no comms feed tonight.

Completely forgot about SBS as well. SBS it is. The commentators are actually quite funny. Plus the UK Box is right next door to them.

At least you won’t be disappointed by two results tonight.

Oh wait.
