Well, I mean you can't even manage one in a row, but you know what I mean.

Matt Morrison

Can you do two in a row?

Matt Morrison

I dunno if I actually said it at all, but I lost count the number of times I was thinking to myself "I just fucking love this, this is awesome" on Saturday night. This. The whole thing was touching as fuck. I don't want to go into naming people right now as I'm meant to be keeping this brief, but M...

2011 it turns out! http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic. ... 11#p108777

Feel free to use whatever you like from the Colin report I did once. Pretty sure it's on here. Unless that was Colon.

Matt Morrison

He had long enough. But yeah obviously I only posted it to annoy him

Matt Morrison

Can we let Marc start topics again please

Matt Morrison

Matt Morrison

Wolverton returns are £20, but I can get a single to and from MK for £12. Assume that is actually better for the way home as people will be in MK, but what about the morning bit, how would I get from MK to Wolverton, and what would it cost? Are there barriers at Wolverton or would I be fine just usi...

Matt Morrison

what has happened

Matt Morrison

There's a guy called Moose? Please let him be Canadian.

Matt Morrison

Spam nepotism.

Matt Morrison

haha wow

Matt Morrison

You could get into the quarters with 2 wins? Crazy.

Matt Morrison

what is a moose

Matt Morrison

Time for voice-activated apterous?

Matt Morrison

There are few threads that are guaranteed an A-lol but every update in this one just gets me.

Matt Morrison

You're so full of lies: http://www.parkrun.org.uk/greatnotley/n ... -feb-2017/
But I do love the write up on the pacing. WOW.

etc.

Matt Morrison

Stop being so Gevin. Obviously you can't use the same person (or even same identical name) twice, but whether or not you can use an individual name part (John) more than once is up for discussion.

Matt Morrison

Having never tried, this feels like something you could do indefinitely. But I bet it's much harder than that.
Is there not a rule about not using a particular name (John) twice?

Matt Morrison

Do you search everyone every Saturday or do people secretly report in to you?

Matt Morrison

http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5257 <-- OC thread.

Matt Morrison

Yeah, same Ben! Sorry for not thinking to thank at the then, this thing thank here hope think good thank though.

Matt Morrison

I enjoyed the Corby and told Heather to look at it and she thought you meant Jason.

Feel like I surely must have some others by now, but really can't think of any.

A damning indictment of the wheelchair-unfriendly disablist homes in the Countdown community.

Matt Morrison

Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the Bristol format. I think Lincoln edges it slightly for me still, mostly because the fact that conundrums have to be made really hard in order to not ruin the elite games which made them pointless in every game I played. (I might be wrong in remembering this b...

Matt Morrison

Yeah, me. You prick.

Matt Morrison

I actually prefer naans not to be crispy. The same as pizza bases. I find it just makes them less pleasant to eat. For the record, I don't want a naan to be super crispy, it just needs to have more of a crust, not be doughy from top to bottom without that crispiness, can still be a bit bready insid...

Matt Morrison

Yeah true, just looking at a contestant wouldn't be enough anyway, I agree. For a person to count, I think you and they both need to be at the same arranged meetup, right? Even if recordings were counted (and they aren't) it would be easy to find yourself accidentally sat next to or near other apter...

Matt Morrison

Sounds like everyone drew.

Matt Morrison

I didn't include anyone from the single recording I went to. Literally every contestant you see there could be listed even if they aren't on apterous or C4C.

Matt Morrison

Audience definitely doesn't count. It's a "Countdown event" in a very real sense. Meeting people in the pub after a Co:event is, literally, part of a Co:event. Insane you could even think otherwise.

However, here's one for you - I'd definitely count your Marathon thing as valid.

Matt Morrison

She has no idea who won. I'm fairly sure Mark (here) or Phil (most likely via tweet) will remember more!

Matt Morrison

Some (obvious?) rules: - attending Countdown filmings is obviously a Countdown event - travelling to and from Countdown events, including the associated pubbing before or after, also is part of a Co-event - people who happen to be in a particular location due to a Co-event meeting up with other peop...

I'm going to have to come back to this though, there are more.

Mark is going to absolutely smash that one. I look forward to him starting the thread just to try and remember a list.

Matt Morrison

The bar is set with 7. This is an excellent thread, and if anybody wants to come round ours that is fine. Invite obviously only extended to people who are not already on our list.

For lazy Mark.

My score is the same as Heather's and it's pretty shit:

Yeah, sounds good, although I don't like their website and their menu looks a bit odd.

Racist, that's a shame.

Matt Morrison

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a picture of quite a few apterites in someone's house, like Lauren's or Amie's for someone's birthday celebrations. Had like 10 people or more in it I reckon. Wow, that's awesome. I love the sense of mystery too, now that we have to sit back and wait for them to ow...

Matt Morrison

I like that, but goddamn don't confuse the issue - make a new thread. I also think it's fair that if you move houses then your score does not reset. At the end of the day if part of the reason you move house is to get closer to Countdown people that you can invite around, then you've earned those po...

Matt Morrison

Heather came up with this great idea for a thread. How many people from the apterous and Countdown world have you had in your home? We decided that Michelle and Ryan are good candidates for being winners here. But really it's not about the winning, everyone should take part. Our list is: Michelle Ry...

Matt Morrison

But yes in the time that has passed since 2011 I've had tons of paratha and probably no more than one roti, so it's clear where my favouritism now lies. Naan are good too but I find too often you get the almost Westernised bready version of a naan, akin to something you could just pick up from a sup...

you trust people who have it on the top?

Matt Morrison

The round 2 fixtures are almost complete, except for two tables which contain Nick Wainwright, Hugh Binnie, Mark James, CF, Phil Makepeace and Heather Badcock in some configuration. A picture shows that Nick was playing Hugh. Phil and CF had already played each other in R1 so would have been on dif...

I already said that Gevin you prick, don't try and steal my glory.

But yeah, if it's some website that requires you to hover to achieve some required functionality then they need to design for mobiles better.

You don't. What are you trying to achieve? Try tapping and then holding on the link without removing your finger?

Same. Also possible to do sex dreams without mess. Also possible to do sex dreams with mess.

This is amazing. This is what we COlin for.

Matt Morrison

I agree with Zarte that "cheating" is a bit strong. But then, as ever, I really don't care about the Countdown as much as nearly everybody else does, so my opinion is invalid. It's more just "messing" - it may benefit, it might not, it may be well-intentioned, it might not. Just makes it so much eas...

Matt Morrison

I would like to see Ben make a stand and force Jono to do a full-audience apology at the start of the day. If he refuses, banned.
