Oops? OOPS? If my gender gets changed by accident, it'll be more than "Oops", I can tell you! I've only just recovered from Charlie giving me the snip!

Not so much of a feature request, more of a suggestion: Is there any chance of not having so many chat logs on the chat log page as it takes ages to load if you want to read a chat log from today for example. Perhaps have the last months logs on at a time? That whole feature is a shit. I really sho...

Sorry, but I think that "hands down" for Ali would definitely have affected his status on this thread

Could those from here who attended please tell me, other than Apterites, was there anyone - anyone at all - in the audience who hadn't retired? Not to mention all the (possibly Jeff's aforementioned 'hotties') Media Studies students from Staffordshire uni who came to witness a TV recording in action.

It's one of our favourite recurring debates as to who could be considered the most talented sportsman: Steve Backley or Phil "The Power" Taylor. I'd call Mr Taylor on the basis that he so repeatedly with astonishing accuracy throws a projectile over a fair distance, and is still so much be...

Blimey! I thought it was pretty impressive that I did about 12 once, but 28 is insane! I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you give a much better blowjob than me, too. That's a thought.

I think tipping your head back for tablets is just psychological tbh. I used to do it, but now I take loads of drugs I just throw them into my mouth and they all go down anyway. I think the record I took in one go was about 28 tablets (from 7 different drugs, so there was a range of sizes and shape...

It's not really that important to be honest. We're not going to break the flow of the show for an upside down letter, unless of course it's an F or something that renders itself unreadable.

A brandnew question-I've-always-wanted-answered: When swallowing a pill, I put the pill on my tongue, take a mouthful of water and - throw my head back. It seems to help.

My granny-in-law (born 1911) says they didn't waste their time with that sort of thing. The Roaring Twenties were named retrospectively. I like the tweenies, but it's the first time I'd heard one-ders too, and really liked it.

In the chat it said that a 9 is valid for CSW when it is also valid in the ODE. I realise they're valid in CSW as well, but surely it would be better to default to the ODE so as not to confuse my simple brain?

The Lincoln Thorpe on the Hill travelodge is offering the Friday night for £29 per room and the Saturday for £32. These prices do go up though closer to the time so it's worth booking now.

Her face lifted toward the roiling sky as her breathless excitement mounted. The enormous craft lowered itself slowly to earth as clouds swirled and nations waited.
