I know we were trying to get it too, but given the fact that I wasn't even aware we had it in 1994 until years later, I'm not entirely sure why.

As someone who was in a pub in Glasgow as Robert Green performed his own version of the nutcracker suite, I tend not to comment on stuff like that

well since they get an automatic qualification for hosting, it would be nice. there's also the matter of the extreme heat and tiny size of the nation.
