So, who wants 'em
August 1st,p lease.

You're planning a long way in advance

Eoin Monaghan

May as well

Eoin Monaghan

Anyone who watches Countdown must remember the first time they got a 9, what was yours?

Mine was SHARPENED when I was (appropriately) 9 years old.

Eoin Monaghan

Bubble Blast 2 is quite a good one.

Eoin Monaghan

False alarm... it was a repeat. Sorry

I got told they were repeats. I recognise the woman too so maybe they are repeats.

Oh... there was an ad the other day for it and I'm sure it said new series started today. Hmm.

Eoin Monaghan

New series started today.

I've just installed the new version of Java (twice) but when I click play it tells me the required plug-in is not installed. I'm not great when it comes to technical stuff with regards computers, is there something else I should do? Every other time I've had to update Java it has worked straight awa...

Eoin Monaghan

I'd love to sign up, but I'm away from the 9th until the 16th of July, and then again for another week in early August. Seeing as sign ups are stopped on the 8th, I'm assuming it all kicks off the next day? Which would rule me out for the opening week. Sorry

Eoin Monaghan

Flip, has to be the most dramatic finish in a while. Incredible game, gotta say I really enjoyed Matt's run, unlucky to him.

Eoin Monaghan

The new notifications idea is great. Will notifications of tournament games be in this part or will they still be shown in a large notice at the top?

Eoin Monaghan

8 top notch performances Graeme, good luck in the finals

Eoin Monaghan

SOYBEAN in the BEANOS round, not sure if it was mentioned.

Eoin Monaghan

TALAPOIN was a nice equaller in the PALATINE round, and HIATUS in the TIGHTS round. EDACIOUS as a beater in the WIDES round

I like having John Culshaw in the corner, impressionists are always good guests. Well played again Graeme.

Eoin Monaghan

Well played again Graeme, unlucky with not getting a third ton, but I'm sure you don't mind about that.

Edit: Unless you do get the 7 points for OUTSETS, in which case you would have 3 centuries.

Eoin Monaghan

Excellent stuff Graeme! Let's see it continue for 7 more.

Are they male?
Are they under 30?

Eoin Monaghan

I'd love to take part in this. But also, you'd need a few more women, so I definitely think Nikki, along with Marie Adie and possibly Julie Russell would take part.

Eoin Monaghan

Absolutely phenomenal Adam and Ed, a top notch final. My heart was racing the whole time, don't think it's surprising I wanted Ed to win. As has been said, the numbers spot under pressure was incredible and overall I thought you've been one of the best ever, and so too has Adam. You both were excell...

Very well played again Ed. Tomorrow should be a great final, looking forward to it!

Well played today Adam, a solid performance. Andy was a great contestant as well. Well done on keeping the centuries up.

All in the time
Told you I love four large

Simply fantastic.

Superb contest today, I think Mary surprised a lot of people but it's great to see her in the semis.

Eoin Monaghan

Great last two thirds today Ed, I was panicking a bit after the uncharacteristic numbers blip but you recovered very well.

Eoin Monaghan

Top notch stuff Adam, you seemed very calm for someone in a quarter final :) . I thought Michelle played extremely well considering she was the stand in and had to face the number 1 seed (as Marcus said), and had her numbers been better, it would have provided one of the best 1st vs 8th seed games i...

Eoin Monaghan

On today's Weakest Link one of the questions was:

"On Countdown, the name of the replacement of Carol Vorderman is Rachel who?" She got it wrong.

There was also a question about mondegreens.

Eoin Monaghan

I think an Adam - Ed final looks likely, unless Tom or Andy springs a surprise. I've got to say Ed will win it, he's also the one I want to win.

Eoin Monaghan

ABROGATE in round 3.

Eoin Monaghan

It would be cool if people had no way of finding out which song belonged to which country, that way it would be a proper song contest.

Eoin Monaghan

Well done to Azerbaijan, Ireland did better than usual, but not as good as expected. I was shocked at how bad Estonia did, and the favourites France did quite poor too. It was good to see quite a lot of countries to pass 100 points, instead of having one 'run away' winner like in the past, although ...

Can't vote for Ireland, I'm watching on RTE One. But I can vote through BBC

Eoin Monaghan

Great, great night so far, amazing production from Germany. There was very few acts I didn't like (only really Italy and Lithuania). Fingers crossed!

Eoin Monaghan

Hmm, I do like France's entry, but I'd be quite surprised if an opera song won it. I can't see Lena's song winning, it's not uptempo enough for the contest. I'm not sure if Jedward will win, but I think they'll do well. I'm tipping Estonia to win it. I think UK can make top 10, if not better. My Top...

Eoin Monaghan

Kai beat James, and I beat Kai, which resulted in James and I tying because we both had 189 points, so we agreed to do it again, I lost to Kai and James, so whoever wins their game wins.

If that makes sense.

Eoin Monaghan

Much better quality I think tonight, I missed the start due to a match, only saw Estonia (who has to be my favourite) on. I'd put these through.

Spoilers: (I think it was a repeat) On today's Pointless, one of the Head to Heads was "Countries who automatically qualify for Eurovision." They said there was four answers, but is Italy not considered one of the big 5? I know they haven't participated in years, but they gain automatic qu...

Yep, it's that time of year again: Eurovision week. Semi-finals are tomorrow and Thursday, with the grand finale taking place this Saturday. Lena returns to defend her crown, with the controversial Dana International also back. You probably all know, but the UK's entry is this: http://www.youtube.co...
