I feel like this gets asked often. There are several countries that aren’t in Europe but that currently participate in Eurovision: Israel, Cyprus, Armenia, and Australia.

The contest is organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which is made up of various broadcasters from countries across Europe and beyond. The BBC is a member of the EBU, as is RTE in Ireland, Rai in Italy, SVT in Sweden and so on. There are 73 member stations from more than 56 countries, and they’re entitled to send acts to Eurovision if they wish.

So as long as a nation has a broadcaster that operates inside the EBU, they’re allowed to enter.

Not to kill the vibe (if you’re having fun then by all means continue) but replying is probably the worst thing you can do - all you’re doing is telling the spammers that you have an active email address, so they’ll send more spam.

Or else they’ll say ‘stop’ again, but quieter

Not if your chosen reference frame is a hand and a ball, as per the example

The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was seen as just one of several possible theories, rather than accepted fact.

Funny how this is posted to World, but it’s an exclusively American phenomenon. I’m in the UK and haven’t had to use my physical signature to pay for anything for about fifteen years, let alone something as trivial as a restaurant bill.
