Dear MWM, Have you got enough on your plate, running your own business in this tough economic time without dealing with our inane questions? Thanks, Jon, Farnborough. Well, assuming it won't be considered to be too annoying to mention....this made me A-lol Never ever be afraid to quote a post only ...

From other threads, some of you will have gathered that I worked for Bradford Council for 32 years before leaving on a redundancy / managed early retirement package last November. A rest and several unsuccessful job applications later, I started full time with West Yorks Fire & Rescue Service in...

I can't see James Robinson. I actually look for James everytime they go to an audience spot. It sort of reminds me of the great days when I used to look for Wally in the Where's Wally books. I seem to recall saying I wasn't there that day. I don't go to the Monday recordings, because it's hard to g...

I feel really chuffed to have reached the dizzy heights of equal 2nd place with 6 out of 8 maxes in yesterday's duel. It's a shame I didn't go for SPRAYDECK instead of the DECKSPRAY I declared for the conundrum. I really would have had bragging rights then. Alas, I'm back to my usual standard on tod...

Well played Jeff

I, too, would have been tempted to go for DELUXE having been a big fan of Be Bop Deluxe in the 1970's.

Best of luck for tomorrow (or is it today now?)

I was intrigued to see this article in the Daily Express the other day:

I wonder what Callum, Conor, Jack and Charlie make of it?

Philip Jarvis

As per usual, I watched it on Sky+ this morning and managed to get my best score in some time - 127.

Not mentioned so far - got RONDEAU as a DC beater in rd13.

Philip Jarvis

25 for me - the same as Kirk.

Shame my Apterous scores don't match his as well!!

Philip Jarvis

It's good to see 2 normal people playing against each other. The continual stream of "apterous superstars" is a bit wearing. Who are you calling "normal"? :shock: In the "HORNIEST" round, I kept seeing THORNIEST (which I had on my audition) and I couldn't get that out ...

Maybe not blown away - but IMO still a pretty impressive performance from Chris. Well done.

Crikey!!

Looking at Chat Archive, it's been down since about 8.00pm last night and is still down.

Where's Charlie? Is he on holiday? If so, when does he come back?

Could we be without Apterous for the next 2 weeks??

Philip Jarvis

P.S. Is "Apterees" the correct plural for people who go on Apterous :?: If not, what is :?: I've previously used the term "Apterites" and nobody has corrected me. Best of luck to Chris . Looking at his performances on Apterous, I can't wait to see how he goes on in the studio. E...

I haven't played much over the past week or so, but everytime I do, I've got a problem with the conundrum freezing. e.g. On yesterdays duel, I typed in the answer to the conundrum but when I hit enter, it froze. I had to log out and come back in but the game had disappeared. Checking this morning, I...

That's brilliant John. My faith in human nature has been restored. I wonder if he'll contact his solicitors to re-write his will when he returns to Scotland.

This subject started as a spin-off to the "Apterous on Tour" thread and I thought it merited a thread in its own right. I started out this year with a week in Las Vegas in late January. Just me and the wife went (we left the kids at home with a friend). We stayed at THEHotel at Mandalay Ba...

I assume Eric was a newbie because I wouldn't expect more established players to intentionally clear off part way through a game. As I haven't seen another Eric on apterous, i'm assuming this is a friend of mine, Eric Flynn. Thinking about it, I may have subconsciously opened the chat with "Hi...

Hi Nick - welcome. Enjoyed the game against you the other day. I'm sure we'll have a few other matches in future.

I'm not quite sure why some people seem to have got the idea that Emily was annoyed or offended at Chris's aptochat outburst. There is nothing in the posts I have made that suggests this. On the contrary, as I've already stated, Emily found it hilarious at the time and (rightly or wrongly) tried to ...

So you try and wind someone up, but also get annoyed at their being wound up? Seems a little odd. Not sure where you get the "annoyed" bit from Matt. Having said that, Emily was probably annoyed when Chris abandoned the game after round 14. However, to his credit, Chris came straight back...

Great set of performances. Can't wait for the finals. There should be some fantastic matches.

But srsly why is this is in the thread of brag? I'm not too familiar with the Apterous part of the forum. When Emily told me about her win, she was really chuffed and wanted to brag about it. This seemed the logical place. I didn't think it was appropriate to start a new thread. Although a bit shoc...
