New Formula
4:19 Brussels time (before The Sunday Times, Joe Grima on di-ve.com, Xarabank and Bondi + can kick off their month-long 'post-Festival')
1) Lanzarote News exclusive:
Prediction 1: After Malta's "1 point" last night and Finland's triumph, the next few weeks will be full of unlikely pundits clamouring for 'a change in formula'. Toni Sant's gonna have company. I bet. May the soul-searching begin...(But wait a minute - that bloke from Russia with the mullet came second and he sounded exactly like Faniello...)
Or
Prediction 2: The same pundits will clamour for Malta to simply pull out of 'this ridiculous festival'. They will also call it 'a joke' and 'a waste of money'.
Watch their spaces!
2) The girl in the picture? Top of The Pops' Fearne Cotton who read out the UK's results. The real star of the evening with her deliciously cool accent and 'devil sign' after announcing the UK's 'douze points' for Finland. "Sunny Malta" eat your heart out.
3) Terry Wogan highlights:
1) he's a man with serious eyebrows
2) the ragged denim shorts making a come-back
3) this is suspenders taken to an entirely new level
4) 13:38 Brussels Time - UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: The Malta Independent gives you a characteristically insightful analysis of yesterday's events: The Finnish rock band, whose masks, armour and jets of flame have attracted widespread attention, could be termed to be a sign of the new rough, uncouth times that are coming over Europe. ¶ 7:13 PM

Can I make a prediction too? Someone somewhere will be so audacious (uuuuuuuuuuuuu!) as to suggest that yesterday's result may partly have been influenced by Malta's increasingly negative reputation on the international scene... you know, rampant bird hunting, no divorce, the entrenchment of abortion in the Constitution, pseudo-religious fanatics making public protests in an attempt to censor a film...
And whoever makes that suggestion will receive a lot of insulting replies, and may even become temporarily stigmatised by our everyday political apologists.
