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.

Dinos Sfyris, Phil Makepeace and Matt Morrison's beard have joined forces to create a new Gevin Chapwell sobriquet.

People who can't be arsed to put the shopping trolley back. Awful people, should be prosecuted.

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 saw this bloke on TV today who looks just like Countdowny person Jimmy Carr. http://wiki.apterous.org/images/archive/3/3d/20191011161611%21Phil_Galsworthy.png (Edited - someone changed the wiki image) If he had a kid with Jim Jeffries. https://enthusiastnetwork.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/sites/5/20...

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...

Your sheer convenience of locaiton is going to make you hard to beat at this game, to be sure.

Also, the hat was a (particularly massive) sombrero. If anything, that speaks to my desire for greater inclusion and cultural diversity, and frankly I deserve a medal.

Mark Deeks

What's wrong with leaving the toilet seat up?

Mark Deeks

I clearly refused anything paedoey, so good luck making that stick. As for your continued efforts to paint me as some kind of anti-semite, I don't think the mere mention of a massive hat gets it done, you racist.

Brief cameo in an otherwise intricate yet boring dream about me owning a pizza shop - Apterous was now the cramped middle floor of a pub with spectacular cliff side views and a wall made entirely of windows.

How is water wasted? My mum always used to have a go at me for wasting water, leaving taps on etc, but surely it just goes back into the system. Surely water is either in the human man made sewage/plumbing system, a river, the sea, the sky, or the ground making its way down to the water table? If it...

I think his point is that both are problems. Countdown is rendered unplayable by the high standard, and the drop is unwatchable because of the low one.

Why thank you! It was a repeat, initially shown March 2016. No idea it was going to be shown until someone spotted it and told me. In hindsight, Singapore is far too small to have its own full race track, but I only had enough time to think "WHERE THE HELL IS MONACO" about three times before having ...

Einziger played the guitar and Blacc sang the words. The rest? I can't tell if you're trying to talk it down arbitrarily or if you really do not understand the role of a producer in electronic music.

And who wrote the song? Who wrote the bass line, the drums, the synths, the intertwining melodies, the song structure?

In the genres you're talking about here, always.

Calpol Six Plus wasn't nearly quite the drink of the gods that pure uncut Moroccan Calpol was, though. Although neither was a patch on Tixylix. Kid drugs are awesome.

Ashton, you should probably know that quite a lot of us know each other outside of this forum and the show. We actually hang out in real life and stuff. So it's probably not a good idea to lie about things people have supposedly agreed to do, because we'll know. I mean it's a bad idea to lie in gene...

People who set their clocks fast. I've never understood anyone who has done this because they all know that it's 5, 10, or whatever minutes fast, which surely defeats the point. If I set my clock 20 minutes fast and it said 7:00, I wouldn't be thinking "it's 7 o'clock", I'd be thinking "it's 6:40" ...

Thanks Cathy!

You think? I don't for one minute believe he's simply an over excited 11 year old, and strongly suspect he's an immature young adult who is deliberately trolling the community. Even if you believe this - I don't, but I have no further information on it than you, so it's just my opinion - surely you...

Mark Deeks

At this point posting a public message seems the obvious next step I agree with this..... and I can't see anything in Cathy's post that seems unreasonable in the circumstances. ...but not this. You don't think essentially saying I think you might be a paedo is a bit too brusque, considering? If con...

Mark Deeks

If he's an 11 year old kid, then his parents need to get a grip on what he's doing online. Maybe so, but that's hardly what this thread was doing. Obviously yes I've seen his posts and obviously I've had PMs. But a heavy-handed "which of these weirdos are you?" approach does not sit right at all.

Mark Deeks

Right well congratulations Cathy for beating up on the vulnerable minor; had Ashton actually been a lonely or unwell man in accordance with your theory, and you pushed him over and flexed over him in this way, imagine what a lovely person you would have come across as. Ashton, dude, just slow down. ...

So
Unfortunate.

I knew there'd be some form of Gevspergers in response to my post at some point but I thought it'd be you pointing out the "me and Zarte" instead. What a wide range of needlessly pedantic comments you have, a real soldier to your cause.

Mark Deeks

By the way, Zarte, if I've massively misrepresented what you said here, apologies and correct at will.

Mark Deeks

It's not the weaker players that boo - it's the ones who have worked out all the stems and really want you to know that about them.

Mark Deeks

So when me and Zarte were doing the second marathon, we had a conversation about the concept of "negative picking". Essentially - and none of this is a criticism - Zarte thought I was picking negatively because I overwhelmingly picked three-vowel letters rounds. For what it's worth, not for a single...

Mark Deeks

OK well I'm not entirely sure you're quoting six year old posts of mine, why the thought "I wonder if I can annoy this man I have barely ever spoken to" was in your head at that moment, but hey, do your thing. I am now going to light myself on fire as that would be a better use of my time.

Mark Deeks

Ashton, there are a lot of events already, both online and in person. Take part in some of those, familiarise yourself with what they involve and how they work, ask those who organise them how they do it for advice and help (they're very helpful), and then maybe revisit this idea.

Mark Deeks

You're not still bitter about the fact I said your avatar looked like the money shot in robot/human bukkake, are you?

I was at Matt Morrison and Heather Badcock's house, which, this being dreamland, was a large and relatively isolated cottage. It was a nice cottage, too, or at least the downstairs kitchen area was.

Never really struggled to recover. Drove home from the event (I know!), got a good eight hours in, woke up fine, subsequently fine. Tiredness wasn't much of a problem during this thing, actually. Couple of lulls, but never hugely struggled to stay awake.
