HELICON.

This is getting like a therapy session...... I'm glad I joined the forum a couple of years ago and to have attended the CO events.There were a couple of people I was a little wary of at first, but having met them in real life I've found them to be decent people.Best mates (as has been mentioned) are...

Well done Jeff

First time I've managed to get to a computer since but thanks for another great tournament Jeff.Very well organised and great fun :D Luck wasn't on my side - 3 defeats on the conundrum,2 of them when I was ahead :cry: - but it was nice to see everyone again and meet a few new faces too :) And of cou...

And I was told by someone who'd watched you record, that you were beaten on your debut game on a tie-break conundrum, Jack. I'll never believe another word he says. Wrong Jack? I have to confess that was me being mischievous. Sorry Howard :( Did you guess the superb 8 that I told you Jack had found...

Only just catching up after a week in Paris.Great debut Eoin, well done

Richard Priest

Thanks for the congratulations guys! Feels fantastic to have won an event, even though I know I'd probably have had to win twice as many games to win one of the regular Co-events. Part of me does feel a bit gutted for Kirk having been denied at the last gasp once again. However, the docile exterior ...

In the Open - Richard Priest 105-65 James Doohan Richard Priest 94-83 James Doohan I was a bit nervous for this, knowing James was no slouch.He was very unlucky mistyping the 9 in game 1 which must have been a big psychological blow for him.A couple of misses in game 2 that I was annoyed with, but o...

Well done Scott, great performances.Good luck for the finals.

I'm an English Murray fan. Murray never wore a Paraguay shirt, and even if he did, I'd still like him. And I like his on-court passion. I love his passion for the game. The only thing that winds me up about Murray is his continual whinging about an injury. If he is playing bad he will make it known...

She'd be the 6th actually - Joyce Cansfield, Hilary Hopper, Liz Barber, Verity Joubert and Kate Ogilvie.

Enjoyable game played in a great spirit.Nice to see a lady finalist.

Critically though, has its opening tipped your own thinking??

Not really, but then I only live around the corner.

Ah I see

I got it just as Jeff came to the audience, but didn't get my hand up in time

I did in one of the later games but wasn't allowed to answer anyway so I wouldn't worry about it.

By the way, it might interest those who would be travelling from further afield to know that a Travelodge has just opened about a quarter of a mile from the considered venue. Is this a positive thing? Just thought it may be of interest if anyone from far away feels it's too far to travel in the one...

Countdown recap for Tuesday 22 September 1998. Kate Ogilvie, a teaching assistant from Huddersfield, is attempting to become that sadly all-too-rare thing, a female octochamp.Steven Prior is standing in her way....

Countdown recap for Monday 21 September 1998. Kate Ogilvie is probably to date the most successful female Countdowner of all time, although IMHO Grace Page was technically a better player but unlucky to be in the same series as Julian Fell.Here Kate takes on Mark Duffield in her 7th heat game....

Unlucky with the fall of the questions in my opinion, particularly all the pop music ones you had to face. My favourite was "Nelly..." "...Spears!" *facepalm* Yeah that's me,I wear my heart on my sleeve.Pop music is actually one of my stronger suits usually but for some reason I...
