Those nice lads from Finland scored a point or two, those Germans did darned tootin' good, and the Russians are grumpy about losing. There were some shocks - Ireland lost, and Greece didn't give Cyprus a single point. Why? Because Cyprus weren't there, silly. Mr Mel and Mr Weaver both said that no-one would vote for Cyprus in the final, and they score 20 points apiece.

But the wonning doesn't stop there! The Pet Shop Boys' new single came out two weeks ago, and we've finally found out that it will not make the top 5, as Mr Bother predicted. The two people who correctly predicted this failure of purchasing power score a point each, so more points for the dynamic duo of Mel and Weaver. How does that leave the scores?

So we're almost up to the price of a fish 'n' chip supper for one! Details on the prediction page, where you can also see why I'll be back on Wednesday to dish out a few points.
