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.

Mark Deeks

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 ...

Any clue to be derived from the baby's initials?

It's a really shit name.

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.

Mark Deeks

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

Mark Deeks

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

Mark Deeks

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

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".

Have a guess.

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...

Ok... if they are gonna feature CD present / former staff members (and they SHOULD!!! :mrgreen: ) then we've got to have Susie vs Rachel... or if they wanted to do teams I think Susie & Jeff Stelling vs Rachel & Nick could make for a close contest. Great idea - all you need now is someone to do Sus...

I'm not killing them off or anything, but the deaths of Fernando Ricksen and Robert Mugabe have made my lead here surely unassailable.

There's nothing wrong with Nickelback and the hatred is just a giant pile-on.

Mark Deeks

No, just the location.

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

Mark Deeks

Used to? Still do.

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. No word games were played, just darts. Andy Platt laid claim to the pencil for the word "int...

While I get that sports fans like me indirectly spend a lot of money watching our favourite games, why the HELL do people directly give some serious amounts of money to online gaming streamers?

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...

Mark Deeks

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.

Mark Deeks

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 ...

That was me!

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. Move away from the idea that the "DJ" is the man who chooses what records get played at weddings, th...

Mark Deeks

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

Mark Deeks

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

You really don't understand the role of producer?

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.

Damian, answer my calls, I'm starting to feel unwanted.

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. ...
