Very good run Andy well played

Shame Bob couldn't have been held back til tomorrow, seemed like one of your best opponents in terms of quality and was a bit of a lad to boot.

Niall Seymour

Nice one Peter!

Niall Seymour

Do winners play the winners of the game above/below or is it a fresh draw jobby, Adam?

Niall Seymour

PROVINCE in round 1

Niall Seymour

Yes please Adam.

Niall Seymour

I'll have a go if I'm not too late, Matt.

Niall Seymour

Jeez looks like my record of the best player to appear in Series 66 that goes to Nottingham Trent is down the swanny!

Niall Seymour

Nice one Peter, really pleased you made the full eight.

Also like some others have said, fair play to James who took the defeat in great humour.

Obviously I was absolutely cream crackered after my recording so was only casually playing along casually in the audience, but I was nowhere near either nine so was in a way glad to get out when I did! Although my 3 housemates and 2 friends at Manchester Uni came along to watch, none of them could a...

Niall Seymour

Cheers for the nice comments guys. @Phil no idea what you mean by my 'subtle reference to Peter's experience', but I wholeheartedly agree with you that I undoubtedly learnt the hard way about trying to be funny on Countdown! Some of you might expect me to be disapointed to lose my first game having ...

Niall Seymour

I have it on good authority that The Alan Titchmarsh show is an absolute belter today!

Niall Seymour

Are the Countdown team now intentionally pitching Apterous players against each other to reduce the number of potential Octochamps? It seems this is indeed the case. The standard of opponent that Victoria had was comparatively quite low, yet only one of Chris, Matt, Peter, and Niall will get the ch...

Niall Seymour

Congratulations Peter - very well played indeed. Well played also to Chris - some very capable performances, particularly on the numbers. Are the Countdown team now intentionally pitching Apterous players against each other to reduce the number of potential Octochamps? Highly doubt this is the case...

Niall Seymour

I'll have a go please Ben.

Niall Seymour

Ha cheers for describing me as a 'quality player' Andy, definitely a first! As you kind of imply I know I was pretty lucky to get on having played a shitload of apterous and being a 21 year old male which seems to be the demographic they're trying to limit. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I 'slipp...

Niall Seymour

Rhys, I haven't been able to find Martin or get the tourney owl to work.

Niall Seymour

I'd like to try and fluke my way in as well please Ben.

Niall Seymour

I'm not trying to shit stir as despite his awful taste in football teams, Marcus is coming across as a great guy and is always a friendly player on apterous; but what is the official reason for him getting another go after the previous hoo-ha about players (particularly teapot owners coming back?

Niall Seymour

Welcome to the 13th week of Countdown: Series 63 . This series is already shaping up to be a really exciting one and now with places starting to be filled, are we in for any more octochamps in the near future :?: Michael Chadwick is in the champions' chair after deposing of Heather Driver on Friday...

Niall Seymour

Hi, I'm not really back as such, but just popped in to say, in case anyone else wants to get a head start on the dictionary to be used in next year's shows, that my ODE3 is apparently currently winging its way from Amazon, according to my despatch email: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-Dictionary-En...

No, I'm also interested although I predict he'll bust out at least one Jack Wills number by the end of the week.

U1400 Round 2: Niall Seymour 98-20 Jordan F http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?key=5051944226285546122 Jordan was pretty unlucky in round 4 and extremely unlucky in round 6 (it was a typo rather than a spelling mistake), I think that really knocked the stuffing out of him and it would have been fa...

Niall Seymour

Disapointed Ryan didn't win the full eight as he seemed a decent guy that didn't take it to seriously. Off the top of my head I would have thought six wins would get you into most series finals, but with the number of high end apterites rumoured to be appearing soon maybe there will be a lot of octo...

Niall Seymour

Suprised MOBILEST isn't in.

Niall Seymour

Personally I thought Ryan came across much better and was pleased he won. He seemed to smile more whereas you could tell Jonathan started getting nervous as he really wanted to win. Determination and nerves don't mean someone comes across badly - I thought he came across very well. Each to their ow...

Niall Seymour

I dread that Ryan is gonna get this conundrum. Damn it. Thought so. Really good game. Some top spots from both players and always when the other player missed it. UNBIASED to bring the game back in contention from Ryan was great and PROSOMA from Jonathan was impressive. Sad Jonathan lost though :cr...

Niall Seymour

I didn't find him annoying and thought he was humble in defeat today and when he was behind for long spells yesterday. I did think his complicated way of doing the 1st numbers was a bit cockish though and I was really hoping he'd bugger it up; fair enough doing something impressive like going upto 3...

Niall Seymour

Just caught up with this as was watching the football yesterday, well done Scott!

Who are these big names a few of you have eluded to?

Aborted in round 3 as a player beater.

Got 574 (1 away on the numbers).

Niall Seymour

Open, U1400, U1200 please.

Niall Seymour

Yes please.

Niall Seymour

I'm looking forward to this starting, I'm sure the standard won't be as high as last year but I'm expecting some really close games as other than Ollie and Craig I think all the players are of about the same standard. The problem with last year was that whilst it was great to see Andrew, Chris and I...

Niall Seymour

How about a variant whereby if you think you have the max (or the max you and your opponent are likely to find), you can hit the 'end round early' button and if both players have a word of the same length/same numbers target than the player who hits the button first scores?

Niall Seymour

I'm gutted that a last minute disaster caused me to miss yesterday, but glad it seemingly went well.

May I ask how according to the standings I managed to win one game without attending?!

Hello all, just a quick update to mention a few things: 2) I've had reports (thanks Kirk) of some of my emails getting eaten by spam folders. I'm generally replying to emails within a few hours (unless you email me in the morning; I only get up at about noon), so if you haven't had a reply from me ...

Niall Seymour

I might be interested in this as living in Bristol, London is much easier to get to than the various other places these events are held at. My brother also lives in London and I have several friends at UCL and Imperial so could probably make a long weekend of it. However I'm currently out of the cou...

Yes, the chairman of Town, the brilliant Mr Dean Hoyle, who actually lives just a street away from me.

Obscure based on what?

The obscurity rating in Lexplorer?

Glenn looked like he'd be a riot down the pub.

Without getting to far ahead of ourselves; if Ollie wins he's almost certain to be a high seed for the finals, although she wouldn't have made it last time around Jan must also stand a pretty good chance of qualifing as a low seed. Therefore there must be a half decent chance of Jan and Ollie meetin...

Glad you stopped short of making any predictions James after yesterday's disasterous effort! Well done again Ollie, I'm sure you'v ealready done enough to be back for the finals but hopefully you can win tomorrow, become a member of the '800 club' and secure yourself a high seed for the afore mentio...

Upset that you haven't mentioned that Huddersfield are going to stuff my team, Bristol Rovers tonight James.

Without doubt the most epic game I've ever seen, beating Kirk v Neil last year IMO.
