That guy was so jokes on the Richard Dawkins documentary.

The challenger had a dog called Howie. What kind of name is this? I bet its surname's Mandel. Peter was so much better.

Shame my surname isn't spelt correctly but I'll let you off this time. Don't know where you get your scores and predictions from. A lot of the players there I don't recognise and I never watched Conor apart from in his C of C but I'm sure he would have beaten me every time. Otherwise, its nice to k...

Usually hate alternative numbers solutions but I liked (10*4+6)*100/8

I am currently wearing exactly the same shirt as the challenger.

I just tried to like a post and it said the like was invalid. I tried to like the same post seconds later and it was valid. Interesting.

Not surprising really, can't think of any other countries which play Gaelic football.

Cheers everyone - although I played well(ish) for the most part, quite a few of the 8 games I lost were winnable, especially on the first day. Played more sensibly on the next two days and, hey presto, I won more games. I gave my rack details of my final game against Laura Finley to Stewart Holden, ...

I voted for myself and Dinos; I was going to vote for Kai but he just beat me at Scrabble, so out of sheer petulance, I voted for myself.

Maybe Scott Mearns. http://wiki.apterous.org/Charlie_Reams http://wiki.apterous.org/Jon_Corby http://wiki.apterous.org/Scott_Mearns I think these 3 people, especially the top two, need no introduction to us (or to each other).

I watched Neil Mackenzie play for Tamworth against AFC Wimbledon. He got subbed just after half-time. Much better at Countdown that football, for sure, and the mighty Wombles won 3-0 (1-0 when he was replaced).

I am! I wanted to play Chuckie Egg but not a PC remake, the actual Commodore 64 version. It was so complicated and then it involved downloading some emulator and it opened in winrar and then I had to extract it to somewhere but I had no idea what this meant so I probably messed it up. Then I had to...

Got 56, guessed Tom Hargreaves for the first one. BTW, KNITWEAR was found by Grace Page against Julian Fell (the last episode I watched before Kai's first game)

Well stopping the ball going in the goal is probably Suarez's natural reaction, so I would say my response doesn't fit into either category; thus my response is 'Other'.

No. I think this is better: if your word length is equal to the length of the longest possible word in the dictionary, you get twice the points for that word (a rule which is REALLY used on http://www.wedigtv.com .

Adding to Dmitry's idea, I've thought of a variation for letters. You could have 9 letters, and you can use one of the letters unlimitedly. You 2x, 3x, 4x etc your score the number of times you use it. However, if you use the E 3 times eg STEEPER and your opponent uses it twice eg PEDERAST, your opp...

Sorry for not saying so earlier, but thanks very much for all the nice comments.

Lol just read this. Just being honest, I know yourself you will have been disappointed by OUTLANDER. With all that said I really can't see anyone beating you.
