Countdown-like Android Apps

From time to time I search for Countdown style apps usually just finding the much maligned official app. However the other day I found three Numbers and Letters - based on the French Game. Quite good. Strange scoring system. Dictionary accepts and suggests some weird words. Vowel Please - Okish - do...

Will he go by the name Horace Horlicks from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire (all the H's) ......... and will he wear his clown costume? https://www.facebook.com/#!/horace.horlicks?fref=ts I can't wait.

I've put a note in in my dairy (and the cows ate it) so put it in my diary instead.

Glad we have the security of 5 years.

Re: Is Apterous down?

It's awful, I've had to interact with family, do jobs around the house, read books, watch tv and have conversations with people that extend beyond "hi, gl" and "gg, wp"... it's tough. I worry about Horace though, how's Horace gonna cope? Did Charlie think about that when he negl...

Just wondered - any of the IronMan/IronWoman Apterites getting withdrawal symptoms yet? And, if so, how are you dealing with it?

Re: Monday 12th August 2013 (Series 69, Prelim 27)

And how do you pronounce "séimhiú" ??

BTW - Niav, Neve, Neave, Neeve and Nieve are the anglicised and phonetically spelled forms of the name (Neve Campbell for example). The Old Irish spelling is Niaṁ.

Re: Hello from a newbie

I'm more interested how Krazy you appear than how you play Gemma (though obviously I hope you turn out to be an octochamp), if that photo is the least mental (sic) photo you could find :)

Hi Am relevantly new to Apterous, but enjoying it (am in reality trying to feel at ease with the programme) Has anyone recently updated their Java and discovered that the new version won't work on Firefox or Chrome? Also, is there any need to worry about the warning of Java exploitations which are r...
