It's definitely Jim Carrey. Here is his page on IMDb.

Jon Corby

No, it's definitely Jim. I've got several of his films at home, I'm absolutely positive it's Jim.

Jon Corby

Fantastic, should be good! I love Jim Carrey! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.

I took my 16 year old daughter to hospital on Monday for a second ECG which will confirm whether or not the total lack of energy she has suffered for the last three months, destroying her GCSE year, is due, as suspected, to a heart condition needing major surgery. Some of you may want to have a lau...

Oh bollocks. When's it repeated?

Jon Corby

Thanks for clearing that up Jason.

I, for one, appreciate it a lot.

It was indeed at Dinos, but I'll leave it to Dinos and Corby to decide what to do. The recap system is decentralised, I just keep a list of what gets posted. I think Dinos already said that he is only able to see Countdown on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I think therefore I get to do Thursday recappi...

This was post number 119 for Jason. Coincidence? I think not.

Jon Corby

In the late 70s, trivial as it might be in comparison, it was said you would always remember where you were when you first read The Lord Of The Rings. Rather than being trivial, isn't this just a bizarre comparison? It's hardly a "moment in time" thing like hearing about JFK's assassinati...

Assuming Stuart has indeed disregarded Matthew 5:39 and left us forever, I'd be happy for you to take over - your previous efforts were very solid. If you're feeling very enthusiastic, you could do this week's one and give Stuart a few hours to post or not. If he doesn't, the slot's yours. Was this...

Are you referring to our game which preceded this one?

David O'Donnell wrote:C2 buzzes on 28 seconds to say SALESGIRL which is correct.

I think this should actually say "45 seconds". The time was already long out before Conor buzzed. In fact, I think one of the spectators may have already offered the correct answer. Utter trave(r)sty.

Times in the past and Mr O'Donnell has had to reassure me that you were just being an idiot.

David O'Donnell wrote:Well, if it's a choice between you and Corby ... see ya Stuart.

It isn't really, it's his choice if he wants to leave over one little post. It's not like I follow him around insulting him or anything, it just seemed appropriate in this instance

Why do you have to be so abusive? Why can't you just have a laugh, like I've been doing? I think you ought to apologise to me for being so rude.

That was me having a laugh

What was that, Damian, about this not being an issue...?

It's only an issue to you though, you tedious twat.

Jason, I am sorry mate but that post I made doesn't even make sense to me. It looks like I came online after drinking all night with a few mates and it probably made sense at the time.

To be honest, on the show you only verbally give the word not type it, so personally I think CHILLBLAIN should have been accepted as an answer (after all, we all know how easy it is to make typographical errors) Nah, it wasn't a typo and I actually typed CHILLBAIN, so while I was heading in the rig...

The most annoying part is when new people find out I've been on Countdown (like some girl did at a party the other night) they ask how I did. When I said I lost my first game she said "oh" and then ignored me for the rest of the night!! Yeah, whereas if you win a few games, the chicks are...
