I'll be taking my American wife's audition application with me to CofC.

Would you like to put money on that?

Re: Random Stuff

Does an agnostic, insomniac, Countdowner lay in bed at night wondering if there's a dog?

Re: Championship of Champions XIII -- Official Draw

If I had any money I'd put in on Jon Corby. If 2 years has been long enough to recover from Conor fatigue. :P

Re: New Host

Is it not possible that the HIGNFY ribbing was because AA had told them he wasn't going to do Countdown after all? (References to unsigned contract by Merton). And remember that any host has to appeal not just to the fans who use this site, but to the other part of the demographic. The ladies of the...

Re: Championship of Champions XIII -- Official Draw

Its nice to be written off before the start. If Charlie was into gamesmanship then the database would be unavailable and no-one would be able to research their probable opposition. In case anyone is bothered I am one of the all time lowest scoring octochamps, but as Damien says "It's not the sc...

Re: Have you ever cried at Countdown?

Not quite crying, but does this count? Having just got the conundrum to beat Phil in the S55 semi final, the only time I had been in the lead I was somewhat overcome. After the studio lights went down CV came across and held my hand to check I was all right. After 23 years of wistful thinking I was ...

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

Okay so I've taken forever to notice the new group and I'm currently 20 shows behind, but I still live in Somerton and still hope to get invited to the next CoC. To add to the list of eternal questions, Why does your friend, who really isn't very good at Countdown, always spot the word you didn't? A...
