Re: C of C Draw......
Good Evening, I don't often post on this forum but I've seen things about CoC on here and as my name was mentioned, felt I needed to respond. Firstly, I will admit openly I am disappointed I didn't make it to the CoC as I am sure others were who didn't qualify, but the truth is, from my POV, I didn'...

Re: C of C Draw......
Personally, I think there are some individuals who are more worthy than the one's noted on the draw. Nevertheless, the past few series in the criteria for this CoC have been of a high standard imo, so there were always going to be some who would not be able to participate. By having some Series Win...

Re: Spoilers For Thursday June 23rd 2016
Hi Jojo - I thought emphysema was spelt en-physema and it never occurred to me to try it with em-physema. That said, it was such a fantastic game and I was honoured to be a part of it and am so pleased for Ann. Seriously, I couldn't have lost to a nicer lady.

I wouldn't have seen GOUTINESS as its not a word that has come up enough for me to remember it. As a non-apterite I find that fascinating.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 26 May 2016 (Series 74, Prelim 76)
The thing is, when people blank you afterward, or seemingly so, you feel like the bad guy so I had a word with Amanda and she said I did nothing wrong, but there was definitely a feeling of being ignored. At the end of the day, it is just a game but I can understand how people may feel disappointed.

Hi Johnny
What I normally do is just select 5 consonants and 4 vowels and let fate takes its course. Just the way my mind works.

On yesterday's show, Apterite Robin McKay rounded off the first half of what we can only assume will be a magnificent octorun. Today is also a landmark day for Robin as if he wins with at least 93 points, he will be a confirmed finals qualifier. Join Tim Down for the recap later to see whether he c...
