It didn't seem to me like he was lying. He looked too proud of it. Also most things that go through Jeff's earpiece also go through Susie's, and she looked genuinely surprised by SIDEBURN, so I think he probably did get it. It could all be a ruse, of course.

I'm not talking about literal policing. But what I find more tiresome is when someone posts something (that may be rubbish or may not) and someone criticises it, there then seems to be a whole barrage of people (the "forum police") that can't wait to join in and say exactly the same thing...

Jon O'Neill

Hi, this is my first post and I will probably upset a few people with my immediate negativity, but please can someone explain to me why I have a sudden loss of enjoyment when watching the show? Hi everyone. My first post too and I've been having the same thoughts as Roland. I've watched Countdown f...

I thought this was just my East London upbringing which made me immune to this hilarity, but Gavin's from Essex, so I'm stumped.

I think you might be right, I do seem to remember getting soundly thrashed by someone a lot like you.

I know everybody expects Kirk's games to being amazing but to kill a series champion like this is quite amazing. http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=20911 I think people have said before, if Damian were to allow one person back who lost first time out, Kirk should be the number one candidate....

I think, if you really want to help the guy improve his grammar, these things are better placed in a PM, as it is generally of no use to everyone else.

Also, Rachel Riley illicits happiness from me.

Never mind, Kirk ruined it.

Was wondering whether you reckon it'd be possible to just memorise all the possible solutions for 4 big numbers. I highly doubt anybody would ever do it, but do you think it's actually possible? Since there are only finitely many solutions I have no doubt it is possible. However it is extremely lik...

Jon O'Neill

Just PRACTISE and eventually you will be good! Seriously? You don't use any other methods for improvement? Surely there's a lot more to it to be that good? Seriously. Most of these techniques help by engaging your mind with letters and numbers, but you would benefit just as much from playing the ga...

Is it just me, or was the conundrum a bit unfair? In a CoC crucial conundrum you have to press immediately you see something, and I would expect nearly every player of CoC standard to "see" CAFETERIA and buzz immediately. If Tony had been just a little slower, I expect Kai would have buzz...

This is the right thread to post this in! I guess all the posts in this thread show the difference between praising and panning. What is panning and praising? These are verbs which mean to criticise (usually something arts-based, like a TV gameshow) and to compliment respectively. How very tedious.

Jon O'Neill

This is good trivia.

Jon O'Neill

Errr, Maine.

Lynam had a hilariously deadpan way of dealing with the humourless drip that was Richard Brittain. Other than that, he was alright. My order would be:

1. RW
2. Des
3. Deso

Obviously I've seen much less of Stelling but he looks to me to be right out of the Whiteley mould.

My guess is Alaska northerly, Hawaii Westerly, Hawaii Southerly, Main Easterly.

mother (6-yr-old Felix, 6-month-old Oscar) Have you named your cats yet Jono? I love these names for kids. My kittens are called Pippa and Penny. They were neutered yesterday so have those big cones around their head, which has lead to all kinds of hilarious consequences. :) As for me, well, I'm a ...

I'd like lunch please and I'll be staying afterwards for the post-COLIN piss-up and discussion of 9s that have another anagram.

Jon O'Neill

Although Kirk's two wins don't necessarily mean it isn't random... it isn't random.

Jon O'Neill

That thing was kind of clumsy. Most of the time if you search for a word you want to know who got it, not who didn't. Maybe I could add a "only show games I was involved in" button, or something. Maybe this would do the trick for Kirk, but I much prefer the old system.. I like seeing how ...

Jon O'Neill

You guys are good enough to be playing GoatBlitz at a standard where it is best enjoyed. I suggest you do this instead of wasting your time with boring old gay Countdown!

Jon O'Neill

You seemed to have changed the word search feature to just state "dictionary corner" got it. Is there a way you could revert back to the "Jon Corby vs Kirk Bevins"? I wanted to see if I'd seen PERACUTE before and I'm sure I had so I did a word search which would tell me instantl...

Jon O'Neill

Actually I'm not sure this is c4c etiquette (is that the right word?). I use the circumflex to denote a word that is no good in Countdown (e.g. MOANIEST^) as I couldn't care less whether it's allowed in scrabble (unless you want to appear to be clever and say "I got TRAINFUL^ disallowed, but i...

Also, read as much Dickens as you can.

Best of luck to you, Eoin. :) , but as a 12 year old I think you are reading too much Dickens. Yes, Scrooge and his famous 'bah humbug' makes a great story but you should not regard my attitude to xmas as miserly. Many people of different faiths and of no faith (like me) celebrate nothing at this t...

Crap format, in my opinion. Although in Apterous terms I think standard-down is pretty crap now. Roll on SpeedGoats.

Other people are having extra fun this time of year, and you're not. I don't understand why you think you're misunderstood.

I believe FAUXER and FAUXEST are missing.
