My 1000th post which went unnoticed at the time.

My ODE3 says:

Oxford Lexicographers and Grammarians Society wrote:The following forms for comparative and superlative are regarded as regular and are not shown in the dictionary:

* words of one syllable adding -er and -est, e.g. great -> greatest

No mention of anything else of relevance. Sorry in advance for adding fuel to the fire.

OCULUS is good isn't it?
SUDARIA too.

Joseph Krol

I will bring my ODE3. Complete with WASSAIL and APHICIDAL.

I think AGAROSE was in the round of GARAGES.

Joseph Krol

The adverts are featuring Countdown led by Jimmy Carr and with Sean Lock and someone else as contestants. The letters game featured is an ordering of *ACCEEHIKP, I think. My best from it is IPECAC.

Thoughts?

My new vlog episode features apterous in the first bit. Alternatively my regular blog is here.

For the anagram: The Westcar Papyrus made man say 'Hire a Tor!' informally.

Or: Thomas Carey, a loner, thawed my fairy rump up arms.

I heard that a past series winner took it with him when he went fishing so he could listen to the radio, but then he accidentally dropped it in the water. It was a Dell rolling in the deep. Seriously though, as someone who likes reference works as a rule, I would prefer not to swap. I already have f...

Dear Mr. Matthew Morrison,

In.

I am, sir, yours, etc.

Has anyone really been considering Carl winning the series?

Joseph Krol

Just made one myself. I'm not sure how hard it is.

Conclusion: this was extremely badly run.

Hopefully Thomas will run it better.

Joseph Krol

Thomas: 3/10, 59 minutes left - 9 points
Eoin: 1/10, 79 minutes left - 9 points
Thomas wins due to higher points out of ten.

Joseph Krol

If you want, Thomas.

1. Pressato or d'allevo
2. Mitochondria
3. Doric
4. I follow
5. PHAGOCYTE
6. Citizendium
7. GTA4 areas
8. Burnley
9. Double landlocked
10. Vaughan-Williams

Joseph Krol

Will post later.

Joseph Krol

Using Joseph's Arbitrarily Calculating Knowledge Addition/ Subtraction Scoring, I have decided that Thomas wins and Eoin comes second.

Joseph Krol

You have until the X Factor final starts, whenever that is. PM answers. Time taken and answer correctness both count. 1. Name one of the two main kinds of Asiago cheese. 2. On which organelle might you find cristae? 3. Complete the sequence: Corinthian, Ionic, ? 4. Je suis means I am in French, what...

Joseph Krol

Worst miss is for both, apart from thatI don't like 'worsts'. Will consider the others.

Joseph Krol

It is probably time I started doing this properly. Please get voting! I'll be taking categories until next Monday, noms up to Friday, votes up to Christmas Day and then results will be out at sometime before 2012 hopefully. JK

Joseph Krol

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a quickfire quiz, probably on Saturdays. Points would be deduced from time taken to answer and questions correct. If a good few many people say yes, then this will hopefully start next Saturday.

Thanks,

Joseph.

Joseph Krol

The winner yesterday plays some dude called Sayed or something, on today when 6 years ago David Cameron became leader of Conservatives, but Rhys could tell you that anyway :D . Also 243 years ago the Encyclopedia Britannica was first published and it is constitution day in Spain. Yay. MALEATES/CASEM...

Joseph Krol

I think ANTIPOLE was there at some point. Not even sure if it is a word tbh.

Joseph Krol

Economic Left/Right: -2.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.74

Tonight's is just finishing, 'tis the finale. The place where it is set (Todmorden) is close to me, so might visit the statue for the heck of it.

Joseph Krol

I have a poppy on me right now. I guess it's really the donation that counts. The cost of the poppy probably is more than the financial benefit of their existence.

Yeah, he shot himself in the foot, quite literally. Big, big waster.

SAMFIE in round 1, DENTINAL in round 2, OSTIOLE and STOOLIE in round 12.

Literally?

Joseph Krol

Does anyone actually use it? Has anyone even heard of it? If you haven't then it is basically Wikipedia but with a larger focus on reliability. I ask as I have been fascinated by it but few people seem to use it. If you wish to edit then a simple application form is all that stands in the way.

Quick Countdown and Pointless mention there. (second connecting wall)

Joseph Krol

Fake.

Joseph Krol

Yeh, I'm not really a fan of randomly picked tournament games anywhere, the people you get drawn against basically count for more than skill sometimes.

Joseph Krol

I thought that for life shows they used a speech recog program.

Joseph Krol

I'm pretty sure in some accents snakiest could potentially be pronounced the same as sneakiest. It's a Countdown Conspiracy, which there are far too many of these days. I should make them into a book.

Joseph Krol

Or feel outrage when you see a touareg.

Joseph Krol

Ok then.

Joseph Krol

Starting a hashtag for tweeters: #jamesrobinson

Joseph Krol

I think ACREAGE was there at some point.

Joseph Krol

AWESOME final round today.

Joseph Krol

SOLITUDE in the GODLIEST/EULOGIST round

Joseph Krol

May have to forfeit this one, I'm afraid. I've been rather busy this weekend

Joseph Krol

Where Thomas Carey goes, I follow (generally).

Joseph 92-73 Oli

Oli played very well with a nice conundrum solve to boot.

Joseph Krol

I've recently started using this and though I find it is less user-friendly than FB I like the fact that it is easier to work out what other people have similar interests. I made one today called #electricpencilsharpenersruinmyschoollifebutmainlymygeographylessontoday. Oh yeah.

Joseph Krol

PINNACES was in one of the rounds

Joseph Krol

Yeah it's really just like saying a if you toss a coin and get heads twice, the coin becomes biased towards tails. The probability will always be 0.5 red 0.5 black as each spin is a distinct event.

Joseph Krol

Pointless definitely. Never been that fussed about the Chase.

Joseph Krol

I got all four dinosaurs. Should I be proud of this?

Joseph Krol

Pretty sure it was garret (with an e) in round 6.

Joseph Krol

I think my first was RELATIONS.

Joseph Krol

Subject One.
Subject Two.

Slightly different question now: Where am I on this tube map?

Joseph Krol

Also I like JuiceDefender. I did a vaguely scientific experiment to see which (out of JuiceDefender, GreenPower battery saver, and battery doctor) battery saving app worked best and it came out on top. My phone now runs for about an hour and a half more than it used to! Others I just remembered are ...

Joseph Krol

Anyone got any suggestions of good android apps? Mine include:

The Three Angry Birdses
Dropwords
Paper Toss
Air control
Fatbooth
Kobo
Google Earth

Joseph Krol

I have no idea how to remove it tho.

Joseph Krol

It's recommend. And I agree that pointless would be a good idea.
