Kate Richardson

For many reasons I’ve decided not to post, but for a summary see below. My partner sara (not sarah) had a fall recently and damaged her eyes further, this, her sight loss (oh yeah something else the production team neglected to mention, her partner sara is not just a lesbian, she’s blind, how we la...

ok boys try to think of it as a haiku, does that make it any better, just read it in a measured way (that's how i wrote it) ok yeah, and calm yourselves is less than 9 bleeding words

Kate Richardson

it's about being out love not about sex son

i'm quite a fan of pinter and loach read it out loud sweeties stop being so sodding literal

Kate Richardson

junaid
i did not see anything else, just like i really wrote down theropods straightaway.

my dilemma was do i play poofter or woofter, sod the weapons of mass destruction, whats a girl to do ?

Kate Richardson

it's about being out love not about sex son

Kate Richardson

I'm going to do a bit of research into the history of words like "queer" and "gay" before i post again. But i am going to post on this subject, looking forward to it (I once helped bring together a group of learning disabled adults who identified as lesbian or gay, the title they...

Kate Richardson

the lgf are a good old lesbian and gay charity in manchester, worth supporting (like george house trust is worth supporting, the charity hiv charity i work for) The guy who put this on the web-site delivers condoms to me at work on a regular basis (it's part of my work - how i wish i could of talked...

Kate Richardson

As someone who the local lads on an estate I used live on would shout out "paedophile" to (among other things) as I walked down the street believe me lesley queer is most definitely a homophobic word. Lesbians and gay men very rarely muse on semantics when their heads are being kicked in. ...

Kate Richardson

am i the only one who stays up late ?

Kate Richardson

hmm i'll try this post again i wore hand tailored shirts from james the personal tailor in manchester (I'm hoping for peronal sponsorship) on weds 11/12/13th feb something that was censored was i wore the shirt i was civilly partnered in on friday...and i won ....just...think on what you're doing to...

Kate Richardson

by the way, matt, why ever go to london on a whim surely one has an extremely efficient administrator (like me) to arrange ones journeys for one.

or maybe one is slightly more prepared ???

heaven forfend !

Kate Richardson

but you look like a boy and younger than me, or....are you dorian gray.....perchance ???

Kate Richardson

i thought i was playing countdown not the moral maze! but that game it felt like it

Kate Richardson

ok charlie homophobic words poofter, queer, fucking dyke,you know the sort of words thrown at you when you are walking down the street thinking i'm going to get a bottle in my neck if i'm not careful..... sub-homophobic words (my category) woolly woofter, nancy boy, lezza insults you can banter with...

Kate Richardson

thanks martin, all i can remember about this programme is, dying to go for a pee but being too polite to ask, gelatins ? stealing seemed a better bet, and having a horrible poofter/woofter dilemma, which word will make me less hated by the gay community ? If i go to tea shops will i get pelted with ...

Kate Richardson

"tragic self-congratulaltion" charlie ???

wait for the even more tragic denoument dear boy

Kate Richardson

I think the voices in your head help a bit too (not the voices in my head, they just keep telling me about phantom letters)

Kate Richardson

Just caught the game on 4oD, I was out plotting the revolution tonight (well planning may day in manchester with the trades council and refugees) a bit of inside information....Susie initially said "I don't think brassie is a word" then looked it up and discovered it was a golf club. So......

In my younger days when I was a greenham common woman I used to call myself k8, this was the early 1980's before mobile telephones had been heard of Yorkshire curd tart is very nice, it takes a while in our house 'cos we make our own curds (curdle milk by heating it up with lemon juice then strain f...

Kate Richardson

If it helps anyone my shirts are hand-tailored by James the personal tailor in manchester (I'm hoping for sponsorship). A little indulgence when you don't have kids

Kate Richardson

I am formulating a theory that having an extensive knowledge of slang and swearwords is a pretty good tactic to playing countdown, paticularly archaic words, might give the viewing public a collective heart attack tho'

Kate Richardson

A few other things Yes it did feel good to be able to mention my partner sara without a big deal being made out of it (I've been out for 25 years so I think we can safely say it's not a phase), it is a terrifying ordeal but worth it for the teapot. Theropods means "beast feet" there's a lo...

Kate Richardson

yes this is my debut game, I still don't know where theropods came from, but I wrote it straight down and thought I've got to play this I'll be so gutted if it is correct and don't play it. Thought some form of animal as pods = feet that's about it I am amazed at my ability to see phantom letters, a...

Kate Richardson

giles coren as a guest ??

Kate Richardson

ok is nosh is yiddish

what is dosh ?

dying to know

Kate Richardson

ON THE SUBJECT OF NOSH This was the letter that Giles Coren wrote to "The Times" sub editors on the subject, it's hilarious. A sub-editor changed copy from "a nosh" to "nosh". I particularly love the swearing Gile Coren said "Chaps, I am mightily pissed off. I have...

Kate Richardson

Remember how many word games there are compared to how many numbers and conundurum games. If you get maximum points in all numbers and conundurum you get 40 points, and are running the risk in the numbers games that your competitor is going to get the same as you so net result = 0. Tactical play in ...

Kate Richardson

charlie,lad, i understand what you're saying but......how do we move on from people out to play, and kill and win (geeks if you will)....perhaps they're called with octochamps (perhaps they're not) ...compared to championes.....compared to people who applied on a whim, or a bet or with no university...

Kate Richardson

having thought about it a bit, what i meant to say was empower your geekiness for womankind...purlease,,,, appropriate it from the timorous beasties (both male and female) but above all, stop trying to over-analyse, just go for it....everyone whoever plays this game is left with a blank page we must...

Kate Richardson

hey kai do you know ***@????!

Kate Richardson

I identified with my anagram in the 1980's ...kate richardson = i take hard scorn

Kate Richardson

it was good watching this game, two good contestants enjoying themselves, well done both

Kate Richardson

stop agonising clare, go for it, what happens, happens, winning is for fat cats, any timorous countdown beasties out there, please apply, please audition, please appropriate this wonderful, nostalgic, emotive, empowering game from geeks, nerds, lexicons and start smelling the flowers again...allow y...

Kate Richardson

I want to defend the word "times" When you're under the spotlight, having to explain how you've reached a number conclusion, simply and concisely, believe me, it's much easier to say "times" than pronounce than "multiply" any day of the week.....and....... I'm also a bi...

you should see my identical twin sister liz, when she's around people think I'm wearing drag

Hello I'm Dinos, a successful Maths and Chemistry undergraduate in his early twenties 8-) I too am an omnivore. For their own safety my opponents at COLIN should sit at least 6 feet away from me.

Neil let me tell you a little story about a student at manchester university 20 years ago....he missed some lectures to sell jeans and posters at the students union......that man was tom bloxman, founder of urban splash, the man who first started turning manchester warehouses into lofts and he is no...

Kate Richardson

just to be clear, i'm an omnivore

my partner sara made my dad a steak and kidney pie and rhubarb crumble first time she met him, neer looked back frankly

Something I didn't mention on the show, but wish I had. One of the best purchases we made last year was from lakeland it's a jelly stand and bag. This means you can make raspberry jam by straining the fruit so you don't get irritating little pips in your teeth. We also make our own fruit vodkas. You...
