Well Boris has made it clear he's prepared to increase lockdown back to where it was if things get worse again. The theories are that the virus doesn't like hot weather which is why third-world countries have been largely spared, and so what we really need is a huge, 40-degree heatwave across Europ...

45 conundrums? I think you'd stalled for enough time already.

Mark Deeks

I'm fine with this.

Er, Mark Deeks?

Start a poll, it's the only way we'll know for sure and Damian will be bound by its results.

Mark Deeks

You're using that to rebut a different situation. See what David wrote again.

Mark Deeks

If his eight is fine, then even if your eight is fine, you've lost anyway. Whereas if his eight is not fine, but neither is yours, you've also lost anyway. Might as well take the possibility of the sure points to potentially cut it to 14 and hope he's wrong about his.

Mark Deeks

It was actually much more reminiscent of Stevenage bowling alley, but either way, thanks for the top-tier wingmanning.

Mark Deeks

In these social distancing times, and the need to space out, that's not as impressive of a brag as I would have hoped.

Mark Deeks

Last night, I dreamt that myself and Graeme Cole were playing pool in a dimly lit bar on a pool table that didn't have any edges [basically this all the way around]. Every single ex girlfriend I have ever had was in attendance, lining the edges of the place, watching. I said to Graeme "please make m...

Rather than piss on it, the fact that you yourself just described this imaginary person as a "freak" kinda lends support to my theory that it is unconventional to be attracted to someone much older than you.

Mark Deeks

"I like to search by active topics", says Gev while dragging up yet another thread from a decade ago.

Mark Deeks

She's also 25 years older than me, which isn't conventionally attractive. But here we are.

Mark Deeks

Maybe Jill Bright has killed like eight people before and it has only come to light over the last few years.

Mark Deeks

Lorraine Kelly.

Mark Deeks

We definitely shouted some things but it wasn't that. I remember then running home to tell my mum the story, not with fear, but almost with glee. She....saw it differently.

Mark Deeks

Also, around the same time, me and a couple of friends (I KNOW RIGHT!!!) were playing football up the park, having a knockaround at one of the portable five-a-side goals. A man (absolute Dave type) and his young lad of about our age started doing the same at the other goal. Conversation struck up, a...

One Wednesday nght, about 23 years ago, I needed to get to football practice in Buntingford, during my fabled stint as the finest ginger related-to-Barbara-Windsor centre back that the Cougars have ever seen. However, my dad's car was on the fritz, so we went by taxi. As I practiced for an hour, my ...

Atta boy. I'mma get you a massive clock neckless and a loudhaler; head up my bandwagon. Drive the Deeks Train to Host Town. Choo - and I cannot stress this enough - choo.

Mark Deeks

Aw, you guys. (But yeah I'd do it, initial backlash be damned.)

Mark Deeks

Are you hyping me up, or announcing yourself as competition for this opportunity that isn't available?

I'm under 70, let's do this.

Surprised the ISOLATED round wasn't excised from the repeat given the public's utter hatred of anything remotely connected to Covid.

Is this a snipe at someone? If so, who? And why? And if it wasn't, then......what the hell was it? I am confused by your post.

Mark Deeks

But not unexpected.

Mark Deeks

Grammar and spelling pedants. Basically a game of one-upmanship, of intelligent/pseudo-intellectual/people who for some reason think that they are intelligent trying to prove they are more intelligent than you. Good for you, big man, but it really doesn't matter.

Gents, Mark, hi. So, I appreciate the intent, and the video element helps. It is however really too long. Tighten everything up to an hour - if you can't think of anything to say, don't feel as though you have to - be strict in the edits, and you can turn this around in a quick hour. You have a nich...

When the electric toothbrush stops spinning temporarily every 30 seconds or so, it isn't constantly suffering from a duff battery - it's telling you to change area.

People who decline LinkedIn connection requests. The hell are you using it for if it's not for that?

Mark Deeks

Grammar pedants, people obsessed with language's "rules" and people who think online copy should all be "sentences of ten words or less". It just doesn't make sense why you want them all like that. Surely it is the mixing up of lengths that makes the punchier ones punchy; surely it is the individual...

People who can't be arsed to put the shopping trolley back. Awful people, should be prosecuted. This happened yesterday as I sat in a Tescos car park eating a giant pot of salad and doing some work with my [Graeme's] laptop on my knees at 8.25 am on a Saturday morning. (My life is dope.) This total...

100% was cancelled by a commissioner called Kevin Lygo. Wonder if there was some family loyalty act of revenge going on there.

Mark Deeks

The Weakest Link, but without Robinson. A good format was ruined by her preening and body shaming. Would have been one thing if she was funny. She was not.

Oh, and another vote for 100%. That show ruled.

My brain is literally nothing but my own voice saying things and I can't imagine a life without it.

Admittedly, many of them have also heard of Lamar Odom for Kardashian-related reasons.

Mark Deeks

I've asked every girl I have ever dated which NBA players they have heard of, and about 742 of them have heard of Kobe. So yes I take your point, but, on the global stage and in this country, Kobe is up there in the Jordan/LeBron/Shaq tier. There is a gap to the rest of the field unless you are over...

Mark Deeks

Kobe is in the band with those four, generally. In fact, in the internet era, he is more in it than Magic is.

Weird that she'd take her uncle's name. Guess they do it differently in the West Country/Empire.

What is the worst claim to fame you have/have heard, or the most ridiculously underwhelming and/or tenuous celebrity spot you have made? Not good ones. Not "I am Robert De Niro's son" or "I once saw Judi Dench buying a croissant". I mean the worst celebrities and the worst celebrity encounters. The ...

Why steal famous art? You can't display it or sell it to anyone who intends to display it, so where's the value?

Mark Deeks

That was to Gev, by the way, not Fiona.

How much of your life do you spend trying to portray me as a racist? It's got to be about 46%, surely.

I tend to agree with you, but there does seem to be a facial likeness otherwise, so it's a poser.

Prompted by your thread, I decided to look this up. A couple of seconds before Mary appears for the first time, there is a shot of the audience, and the women in that are thus the first women to appear on Channel 4, including - assuming they are a woman, never assume, etc - this really bored-looking...

Mark Deeks who originally seemed to be the host took ages not understanding what I was saying before he finally got it

probably your fault tbh

Mark Deeks

Well that sounds like a highly exploitable amount of unchecked power. Look forward to seeing contestants called things like Ray Flapjack and Jemima Pubes in short order.

Mark Deeks

Not obvious until someone tells you, but, listen carefully - Lady Gaga doesn't say "pah-pah-pah-poker-face-pah-pah poker face", but "pah-pah-pah-pah-poker-face-pah-pah fuck her face".

Levi Roots is famous and popular. "just some hopeful from Dragons Den" is shamelessly dismissive, yeesh. Doesn't matter how one gets started.

As a famous Countdown champion once said, to be a Countdown champion you have to be either autistic or a cheeseball.

In related news, have you sent your application in yet?

I got 14, so I'm average for a woman. But also, autism doesn't exist. There is no biological difference that can be tested for that you can then look at and say "there's the autism bit. Should we cut it off or leave it in?" All psychological disorders are inventions for us to kid ourselves that peo...
