Re: The Matt Morrison Computer Corner

Hi Matt (or anyone else kind enough to help) I've been having a load of problems with my internet being really slow recently. It is Virgn Broadband, wirless through a router. I phoned Virign and posted on their forum, but they weren't much help. I decided to play around with a few things to see if i...

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday February 28th 2012 (Series 66 Preli

Excellent game today. Ryan was very unlucky with the conundrum there - it's also pretty likely that he'd have noticed he was wrong before declaring, so kudos for resisting the urge to cheat if so. Great recovery from Peter, it's been an excellent run against some tough opposition, especially the las...

I love the way Nick says "well done" or "very good" after the contestant has picked the letters. Not sure if he is congratulating the contestant or Rachel.

Re: Why is fizzy water so disgusting?

Yeah Ned and I had got through a fair bit of free champagne at the contestants' after-party, and it didn't seem sensible to mix our drinks. Unfortunately it seems I may have over-indulged slightly, which may or may not have led to a (possibly) very attractive Norwegian girl slipping from my grasp. L...

Great work Gillard.
What I heard from Josh was that no one wanted to look stupid guessing LOADSPACE and so didn't put their hand up.

Thanks all.

Matt, I actually had DELATORS written down, forgetting it was an anaagram of LEOTARDS until right at the end. Obviously wanted to say LEOTARDS on TV though, hence why I had it NWD. Quite pleased with my classic/fun word haul: LEOTARDS, TANGELOS, ERECTION, RECTUM and RANDIEST
