Will say also, there's a bit of me that feels like this event should be on the wiki. Anyone else?

Andres Sanchez

Agreed with Adam. And I'm curious on the game I "hosted", Josh v. Rose

Think it might be spic instead of spick, but honestly I woulda thought the same way as you when I first heard the phrase

Why don't you try to live here for a bit anyway? Depending on your job, you could try an intercompany transfer, or apply for another role under a skilled worker visa. You could also do an undergraduate degree (very expensive international fees) or a PhD (funded, but of course difficult entry requir...

Honestly I would love just to claim residency one time and apply for the show before I turn 50 at least. And honestly if shows like The Price is Right and Jeopardy have held up this long, I feel like Countdown has a very good chance of staying alive too.

Andres Sanchez

Will definitely say for watching eyes, my hope is to be either at Sheffield, Reading, or Rugby. Hope to see some buds there!

Andres Sanchez

My first thought when I was told from British folk is that you gotta live in the UK for 5 years to claim some residency, but ofc I may be wrong.

I will say though, Johnny, I have definitely been longing for a spot in the show as much as you are now. I do hope the time comes for us both.

Andres Sanchez

Maybe it's fixable The thread-starter can change it, but as people who follow deaths will know, that's now impossible. A moderator probably could. I'd forgotten who started this thread From what I feel like is a bird's eye view, someone who at this point I feel like we treat now as Voldemort.

So... someone's found the U.S. pilot for Countdown. Apologies if this link is shit, doing all this off my phone. Thought it'd be appropriate to have this thread for thoughts, comments, and spoilers of the sort. I'll start with me on this, which I'll try to hide in case people wanna watch before hear...

Purely self serving question here - myself and Eoin Jackson meeting in a semi-final. Have there been any all-Irish finals or is that potentially the latest stage all-Irish meeting? We did have the match of Peter Burke vs. Cillian 10 series after yours, but other than that there's nothing else that ...

Oh I'm very aware, and I'm sitting in my crackhead state watching shit go down.

I'm def with Johnny in saying #1 is gonna be happening soon.

Andres Sanchez

As an American I don't think 6 is gonna happen, #2 more likely

I get the feeling Threads is going to last longer than Twitter.

Someone needs to tell specsavers that cleek is not valid in the countdown dictionary (only there as driving cleek and putting cleek) - it has featured in a couple of their adverts, so your average punter would be forgiven for thinking it was allowable!

Since it's origin up to Series 87, what's the percentage of contestants/finalists/champions that are Apterites? Curious of how much Apterous has had an absolute grasp on the community?

In the movies we often see someone (most elegantly Catherine , of course) pass out and fall backwards onto a hard floor. How is it even plausible to survive such a fall? If you're stiff, your head will be the first to hit the floor, so doesn't it direct your entire body weight straight into the one...

I like the new look, but I do miss the notepad as I get a bit of understanding from the expressions I do.

Got a start on it with the fact that it's 2 nearing 2:30am here, but if there's any other person that can fill in the gaps then feel free to do so.

As a bit of trivia for you lot:

Out of all the series that contained only two octochamps (yes including 9-round series), which one had the biggest gap between the two?

What's the time zone so I can adjust to when I should wake up or catch some Countdown in the morning for me?

Absolutely great run though Adam, as someone that's played against you a bunch that run was worth watching.

For me I like a timed dark mode, where when it hits a certain time it goes from light to dark. Speaking of which, some pages don't do dark mode right which in those terms is an absolute joke

BIG congrats, Ronan! One of the most well-deserved crownings out there.

As a treat, here's an early pic of the stats I've compiled over the run.

Andres Sanchez

Well that was a cracker, RITUALITY was not gonna be a nine I thought would come out.

Also for some fun on R6: (100+75)*6*25/(50*5)

Andres Sanchez

Really don't get why the whole Schofield thing is such a big story. Just strikes me as another incidence of celebrity piffle. Agreed; any kind of celebrity drama is something the media wants to desperately get their hands on, because the world's supposed to think that celebrities are at a higher st...

Well I'm certainly adding Ronan to my stat compiler now.

Absolutely wonderful game, Ronan. Pulled in some great words and honestly a very impressive score despite a disallowed word.

Also the way Rachel says bagels is gonna haunt me, I'm sorry I've just never heard anyone say it like that.

I was wondering what the hell the confusion was about, but I think regardless everything went pretty smooth. In terms of filming, I think filming from behind the contestants might be the better case; helps get everything in shot. I will say I don't know what the real standard is for revealing conund...

How's Frankie been now after the flak and controversy he'd gotten in the 2000s? I hear he's picked himself up from it and doing pretty alright in the scope of UK comedy.
