Who would that be, just you I suppose.

Jimmy Gough

Merry Christmas. This forum and apterous more so have been great fun. Well done to Charlie, I hope santa brings you something extra special for your efforts.

Jimmy Gough

When I have an apterous rating at about 800 (if that ever does happen).

Jimmy Gough

I'd also like to say how good I think it is. Especially looking at head to heads between the best players - some of the words they come up with are just incredible.

Jimmy Gough

Despite only getting 4 maxes in the entire game, I am pleased to (finally) get my first century. http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=15658 yeah go you :D I was thinking you must be the most improved player on apterous. From being thumped almost every game when you first started you've improve...

Ok, I think I get it now.

Jimmy Gough

Following on from the new apterous feature, I thought I'd start a new thread so people can share any stems they use to remember obscure words. A couple of examples I use is SPRINGY BULL for LOCATES/LACTOSE/ALECOST endings and POW AMUSING for BANISTER endings. I know there's also the 7 letters words ...

Jimmy Gough

I really like the new stemmer feature. Is it possible to make all the letters into a crazy word or words that's easy to remember. I can't think of a great example but I remember the LOCATES endings by SPRINGY BULL

Jimmy Gough

Sorry Charlie, that's my brother. :oops: I'm not cool enough to play myself on two separate accounts. I'll tell him to stop, and to stop cheating as well. That is kind of embarassing. And by the way, that is his usual standard - 4 and 3 letter words. How do you find out anyway, that's kind of weird...

Jimmy Gough

I was particularly pleased with rounds 7 and 9

Why put good games in scrag, I don't really get that. Quality spot with FABRICATE

Jimmy Gough

FORMATE?

Jimmy Gough

It's sickening to think I've played 700+ games and still get beaten by a newby....

Jimmy Gough

Not sure where this game belongs

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=14389

Good game all the same though.

Jimmy Gough

I think I saw PENNATE in one of te rounds.

Jimmy Gough

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=13037

Some mistakes but this is my proudest win by far.

Jimmy Gough

The worst performance EVER from Caesar?

Jimmy Gough

Colin was so awesome, I'm sad to see him go

Jimmy Gough

Yeah, definitely a good change, even if I'm quite a novice at it. Really good though.

Jimmy Gough

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=12696

a really good game.

Jimmy Gough

Kinda glad he's going.

Jimmy Gough

aah, will it be back on again tonight Charlie?

Jimmy Gough

It looks really good Oliver. I'm not into quizzing but a lot of the things are really interesting and perhaps i should really know.

Jimmy Gough

Who dya reckon would fare best on Countdown out of this series' X Factor contestants? If any of them is particularly brainy, they're hiding it well (probably wisely at this stage). But I suspect Ruth Lorenzo would do rather well. well, I don't think Ruth's English is good enough to do well, even th...

Jimmy Gough

your avatar cock face

Jimmy Gough

What kind of knobhead says hurrah?

Jimmy Gough

But I'd take it really personally if I was voted more annoying by people I've never met and who nothing about me.

Anyway what have I done to be so annoying?

wtf? why would I even care

Sorry Lesley,

I vote Jimmy annoyinger.

You're irritating.

Jimmy Gough

You're unlikely to see anybody cock up a game as fantastically as this

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=11686

Jimmy Gough

sure...

Here's a random one:

Who would you rather have as a DC guest: Graham Dott (snooker) or Daphne off of the eggheads?

Jimmy Gough

No.

Why are you not asleep?

Jimmy Gough

The guy with the crazy clapping in Charlie's last game.

Is this the greatest ever youtube video?

No, same here, like Kirk said you can usually tell from the game browser.

Jimmy Gough

I say we keep the forum.

Jimmy Gough

Well the idea was somebody replies to the original question and posts another, they reply to the next question and post another, then somebody else replies to that question and also post another question and so on. So there's always another crazy question. I'll start again. Hmmmm. Who is your favour...

Jimmy Gough

Jimmy Gough

Hmmm I thought another way we could all get to know each other a bit more (well most of you know each other anyway) but I thought I'd start a question thread. So I start with a question, then you answer and ask another question, etc, etc. OK, I'll go first :D Would you cut off one of your fingers fo...

Jimmy Gough

I never saw Kirk's show, is there any way I can see it now?

Jimmy Gough

I was only kidding, I'm sure Corby is up to date with street lingo, but it's an interesting development all the same. While this new meaning of 'random' slightly annoys me, I utterly hate with a passion all the rest of the "txt speak" shit which people (ppl) seem to use to "communica...

He could tuck me in at night and tell me stories about sporting events of days gone by... And I might grow up and be as suave, sophisticated and good-looking as this almost superhuman dignitary. Any other dictionary corner guests from this point on are pointlessly sitting in his formidable shadow, ...

Everyone knows Conor is the best.

Only just noticed this daft comment. What is the connection between gender and what one watches on TV?

Well the vast majority of the show's viewers are women. So you're the one with the stupid comment.

Charlie Reams wrote:Damian has said that he would use a conundrum like MONEYBAGS (because there is no word moneybag) and apterous follows that.
I remember OUTSKIRTS being used recently(ish - ie last couple of years) on the show, presumably by similar logic.

Yep I've seen OUTSKIRTS a couple of times.

Jimmy Gough

Ha ha, did anybody read the description in the paper - "not to be mistaken with: the churchill dog, a gnome, Jo Brand"

Jimmy Gough

Ok, Plum must have been really pissed at me when I kept beating him on conundrum attack - just check this out

I didn't think it was worth opening a new topic about but I was wondering why there are no -ING, -NESS, -LESS, etc. conundrums on apterous. Is it that they don't do them on the show anymore? Coz I remember they were on the countdown corral. Either that or I've been extremely unlucky with my conundr...

Ha ha to everybody (but Kirk) who I beat in the duel, despite being kind of shit

Jimmy Gough

Just had a 9-rounder where the conundrum was HORSESHIT, but after 15.6 seconds, I guessed SHORESHIT :oops: Twice in the same week I've missed PACEMAKER, going for CAPEMAKER (!!!!) on one occasion and PEACEMAKER on the other :oops: Ha ha yeah, you went PEACEMAKER and I still didn't guess it.

Jimmy Gough

Is apterous down ATM, or is it just me? I've tried restarting my computer, but I can't get into it. I have to get back to cooking the Sunday roast now, so I might be doing the duel later replete with chicken, roasties etc. and a couple of glasses of wine! :) It's down - you can always guess that by...

Just the way that she almost forces the contestant into choosing an easy numbers game. Yet I agree she deserves credit, she has done very well for herself out of it.

Everyone knows Susie's better though.

Jimmy Gough

Once again, nothing to compare to all of you octochamps, series finalists, etc. but I was quite proud of my effort here

I haven't read through all the posts so this might've been mentioned.

How about you get other humans in your inventory - so you can see who you've beaten before and who you haven't.

Just a suggestion....

Jimmy Gough

I disagree about Jonathan Coles. If I were doing odds, they would be spaced out more - the outsiders would have higher odds than 16 or 20 to 1, and Jonathan Coles would be an outsider for me. I'd be very surprised if he won the whole thing, more than if Kai did. I don't see your reasoning at all. J...
