Re: Countdown in London | 22nd May | Registration full!

OOooh - I ought to add my huge thanks to the Racoonteur for a fantastic day before you all think I'm a) miserable b) miffed at coming nowhere c) fed up of being in my baby bro's shadow d) still traumatised by the experience of being in the actual same space as so many legends. Hugely enjoyed the hos...

Re: Countdown in Lincoln 2009

Well done Ben for organising COLIN and well done everyone for playing along and allowing my brother to win in with a bit of style. You were all so convincing, he probably doesn't suspect a thing... :roll:

Re: Forum Decorum

All hail my sweet mouthed li'l bro'. Isn't it funny how misleading online personas can be? Countdown is about words (and numbers - but that bit won't help my argument and also I am 'c4' at numbers). Surely a good Countdowner will have a working knowledge of the abundant variety of words that make En...

Re: Campaign to get gandiseeg in the dictionary

FYI: In order for me to have any chance of a half rhyme, I should point out I was using the standard Britt-ish pronunciation of gandiseeg which has the silent end 'g'.

Re: Campaign to get gandiseeg in the dictionary

Hmmm, might be difficult to include gandiseeg into a piece of literary criticism. However, in the absence of Richard Stilgoe, might I be the first to include it in a piece of poetry: There was a young feller called Charlie, Who made it right to the Countdown finale, But the Conundrum was mean He buz...

Re: Reaction to the CofC

Guess I ought to make a comment in case you guys were thinking I couldn't wait to get away from you all on Tuesday. Have been in London for a couple of days and right now I should really be working on an essay. Suffice to say my coursework reading material wasn't required in Leeds as there was never...

Nor, to my knowledge, have I been surgically altered and I have been told I have a very modest ego. I do, unfortunately, however, share some genetic material with the aforemention...
