I think you've confused them with Terry Wogan.


Anyway, the competition is now closed. Thanks to those who entered. Results will be announced shortly!
I think for a laugh, everyone who has submitted an entry, should vote on everyone elses entries, using a scoring system like in the Euro Song Contest and then see what everyone would've got as an overall score :lol:

I've only heard of the Eurovision Song Contest by reading about it, Joseph. Sorry.

Well what I mean, is that you put the pictures of your fellow entrants in the order of most liked to most disliked and then you score them accordingly. Going by this contest, I believe there are a total of 13 entrants (sorry Gavin, missed you out first time :oops:):

Charlie Reams
Michael Wallace
Kirk Bevins
Jon Corby
Jason Larsen
Karen Pearson
Jon O'Neill
M. George Quinn
Chris Corby
Gavin Chipper
Joseph Bolas
Ben Wilson
Jim Bentley

Now excluding yourself, you would find the picture you liked the most and give it 12, then the picture you liked the 2nd best 10 and so on, with the last picture being the one you least liked the most, thus getting no points. So an example of this would be:

Ben Wilson (12)
Charlie Reams (10)
Chris Corby (9)
Gavin Chipper (8)
Jim Bentley (7)
Jon Corby (6)
Jon O'Neill (5)
Joseph Bolas (4)
Karen Pearson (3)
Kirk Bevins (2)
M. George Quinn (1)
Michael Wallace (0)

And then Charlie would take everyones individual scores and put them all together and then get an overall score going by every entrants opinion of their opponents picture.

If that makes any sense :D :lol:.

That's a little bit too much of a challenge for me, Joseph!

Sorry Michael :(, I just put the names in alphabetical order of first name to show an example of how the scoring worked.
