No way!
On the first ever all-female episode, the conundrum is an anagram of VAGINABLE.
That can't be a coincidence. Wonder how long Damian had that up his sleeve? (if you'll excuse the potentially graphic reference)

Don't worry Gevin, I'll make it work.
Feedback is positive from the contestants themselves thus far, so that's the main thing.
But I acknowledge your inability to understand it, and you have my sympathies.

Re: The C4C Football Thread
At each stage I made predictions here.
I called 4/8 QFists, 3/4 SFists, then 2/2 finalists, and now 1/1 winner.
Pretty simple.

That match will be a talking point for years and years.
Controversial peno!
I wonder, had the peno not happened, would England's relentless pressure have lead to 2-1 within the final 15 mins anyway?
If not, I would fancy Shhh-Michael over Miskickford for penalty saves.

I expect Anne will find her groove before August.
