    Haha, I don't doubt wikipedia, I just have good memories of it getting radio airplay so I assumed it had charted - I like that, not quite as much as similar others though :D

    I did really like the Saint Etienne one but maybe it was a bit too "chilled" compared to some of the others? If Tarzan & Jane is what you're looking for, then "Only Love..." probably isn't going to do well!

    Kolrus scores are already done and dusted, though I might need to revisit them before the reveal.

    Does he do the semis? On the Beeb Graham Norton only does the final, they get a selection of others to do semis, start with an angle in on the semis and you might make it ;)

    About as likely as Mourinho being an RTE pundit right?
