Where did sir cliff Richards come in eurovision song contest?
Yes, and he won it for us too
He came second in 1968 with Congratulations and fourth in 1973 with Power to All Our Friends. There is some doubt that the winner in 1968 (Spain with La La La) was not the subject of jury-rigging by General Franco; if that were so, the Cliff would have been the true winner but, as it stands, he only came close.

What song did mireille mathieu sing in the eurovision song contest?
Celine sings many songs. Most songs are in French and English. Her most popular French song is "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" and she is well known in English for "Because You Loved Me" and "My Heart Will Go On." "My heart Will Go On" is the theme song of the 1997 version of the Titanic movie so if you hear it, it may sound familiar if you've seen the movie. I think that another good song that she has sang is "A New Day Has Come". She has also recorded songs in Spanish, Japanese, and Italian.

Why can't Britain vote for Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest?
"The reason behind the (Italians) refusal to participate is explained by the fact that "Italians are so passionate about their many singer-songwriters, cantautori. It's just for this reason that Italy no longer participates every year in the Europe-wide song festival called the Eurovision Song Festival."
"A few years back, when Italy came in a terrible position with a song and performance by one of their most treasured singer-songwriters, Enrico Ruggeri, they took their ball and well home, refusing to play with Eurovision any more. They accused their fellow broadcasters of catering to the masses' lack of musical sophistication and of politicized voting."
Hope that helps

How long does it take to contest a will?
It's one year in Canada. If heir cannot be accounted for, then the Executor (male) Executix (female) has to put an ad in the town paper twice in that one year to advise that heir of their rights to any monies or properties left to them in the Will. I don't quite know what you mean by "how long do you have to answer a Will." You are either an heir in the Will or not. If you are asked to be an Executor or Executix for the Will you can actually decline if you so choose and usually a lawyer or Trustee will take over the position.
