Meant to post this earlier last week, but got sidelined sorry.

The C of C will NOT be recorded w/c Nov 24th.

More likely now that i'll be something like Mon Dec 15 - Wed Dec 17, but i'll call all those involved as soon as we get confirmation.

Cheers

Damian E

Oh, and has anyone noticed that the avatars of Lara Searle and dan j are strikingly similar?

I was going to type something about the I P address, but i've never worn one and i'm not incontinent.

Damian E

I think she's done a fabulous job, and will be sorry to see her go. She will certainly be a tough act to follow, but I'm sure the producers will have chosen wisely when looking for her replacement. I'm looking forward the 'unveiling' of the new show. Well said. The 'unveiling' will no doubt be diss...

Damian E

Who's relatives?

Damian E

You've gone too far this time, Sir Percy.

Damian E

What a weird thread.

Damian E

I very much doubt that, given the access you allow to some of the more recent undesirables. Ban everyone except me. Haha, did you tone this down yourself Damian, or did one of the mods do it? Even I thought it looked a little harsh for a "Welcome" thread! :) DId it myself. In hindsight wh...

Damian E

No joy - same thing happens.

"The application failed to run"

"There was an error while executing the application".

No worries, don't dwell on it Charlie, am sure you can put your time to far better use.

Cheers

Nobody beats WIll D Downing and nobody ever will.

Damian E

Yeah tried that Jon, still sticking on the Java load-up bit.

Worked fine until yesterday. Maybe i've been struck off for winning the duel.

Hehe - you're ALWAYS irritating Corby.

Damian E

The funniest episode ever was Pete Cashmore vs. Dag Griffiths in the special match that replayed their final. Anyone who has that episode, PLEASE find a way to share it as it was fan-bloody-tastic. My 2nd most loathed edition of the show ever. Weird how people see things so differently. Think Pete ...

I enjoyed it at the time but it Rory ruined it with his "blog entry" about it afterwards

Hmmm, i think this is my most loathed edition of the show ever. It was 40 minutes of complete immaturity.

Damian E

I can't log in at work anymore.

Tried all day but its not loading up the orange java application.

Have you changed something technical Charlie that might affect ports at my end?

Damian E

A couple of weeks ago (may have been when Charlie was playing - can't remember now) I spotted an 8: SHITTIER. Both contestants declared 8, one with a sheepish smirk which led me to believe he'd made the same spot. There was then a rather obvious cut (or so it seemed to me at the time), after which ...

Why do Channel 4 bother to refer to it as an Arm and Hammer (or something) game if there's no need from a copyright point of view? And on a tangent, the French game is different from our one anyway so in what sense is Countdown an Arm and Jam game? Isn't it just based on one? I dunno, maybe there's...

Damian E

never.

Damian E

I like to think that, when taking everything into account, finding the best ever is utterly absurd.

It doesn't matter, its not able to be proven, its conjecture and its totally tedious.

We all know the best ever is Harry Peters.

Damian E

I think this C of C will be the best ever.

Might even make the Final a Goatdown special. Now that would be something !!!

Stay tuned. Countdown in 2009 will rock your world.

Damian E

Cindy was present on the first ever edition of Countdown on 1982. She's now 106 yrs old and is only still living due to the mobile pharmaceutical store she carries around with her. Cindy is the Davros of Countdown and as such, commands all the disrespect she can get, especially off me. I'll look for...

Will be interesting to see if Mike Brown voted for me

Damian E

I'll sit this one out Charlie.

The game of Countdown, the Conundrum, the photos of Susie, Alison, Des & Carol........... !!

Come on !!

Damian E

Hahaha, this can't go under the radar. Possibly the biggest ever oversight of blatant sarcasm in the world. Ever. Seriously. I think Joseph was asking for the other sounds to be muteable (a long overdue feature), rather than the classical music. Also it would be pretty cool to have some distinctive...

Damian E

How about soft classical music playing in the background, the option to add studio applause to every winning word, side impact bars, a web cam facility so we can join up visually and play naked against each other, and perhaps a free box of lemon turkish delight to those donating. "I love Aptero...

Damian E

I agree that he was great, though it took a little time to work out that he wasn't bored/disinterested/wondering what the hell he was doing there. Once I realised that was just his general demeanour (I haven't really seen much of him before to know that), I thought he was fantastic. Oh, and for the...

Damian E

Jimmy Sommerville, (Whistling) Jack Smith, or even Jerry Springer. Or maybe all 3?

Damian E

Manna from heaven for you this, isn't it Gavin?

Personally, i don't really care what you think, and i mean that in a polite sense.

Damian E

I'd prefer to wait and see who the sixteen runners are. Will we get to know the sixteen before they start, or are we going to get to know their identities only when they are introduced to play their first matches? The draw has been released in another thread. Yeah it has, but i made it all up. :mrg...

Eh?

I see the latest speculation centres around John Sergeant. Personally, I think he'd be quite a good choice. I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea (who is?), but I think he's quite witty and wouldn't 'take over' the show in the same way that some presenters would. Damian is probably thinking up a co...

Oh, and red ants.

Some comments from me, not all of them are serious. 1. Why is Brian Blessed featured as a Dictionary Corner member? 2. I think its a bit cruel to allow NO backspacing when entering words at the death. I often rush and panic and end up typing in a load of old crud (rather like here really). The timin...

Damian E

Can i give you my take on it Julie. This is only my take, not sure what everyone else does. I've played a few blind games now, and as the game browser will show, i've entered words that didn't have the correct letters, because i've got the attention span of a stick insect and have often looked away ...

Damian E

Ahhh, thats me proper shafted, thanks Charlie. I should point out though that Danielle is not a member of the production team. The production team is thus.........Series Producer Me, Associate Producers Lara Searle, Kate Horton and Sarah Foulkes,Production Secretary Annette Meighan and Production As...

Damian E

Ouch, thats bad.

Damian E

Just to update you Howard, we'll be starting on Monday Jan 12th, the guest presenter will be Tony Warren, we'll have the percussionist from Earth, Wind and Fire in the corner and i'll be getting my P45 very soon after.

Damian E

I almost feel like weeping.

Damian E

following A As reported withdrawal as host and in view of the short time scale why not get the CofC XIII contestants to take turns hosting the show. This would give the producers an extra month to find a suitable replacement... Firstly, we dont need an extra month, all will be fine believe me. You ...

Damian E

I was expecting someone like one of the old explorers, a member of the original Everest conquering team, who came to talk to us when I was at school. No humour at all, and very boring. With Ran the Man, he's completely different. I warmed to him on his first day. After the second, I've been eagerly...

Damian E

Yet again a bad bit of continuity editing was hard. DC mentioned ANODISERS for 9 then during the break you see SARDINES on the board behind Carol. They've done this a few times recently. Its because we don't always get all the board shots in 'real time'. ANODISERS would have been put up at the end ...

Damian E

Glad you liked him. The crew here thought he was a marvellous, inspiring gentleman.

I think by the end of his run you'll all be ardent fans. Well, perhaps not all of you, but its very very hard not to warm to the guy. He's actually a living legend.

Damian E

Contestants were selected before the series finals, yes. There are no spoilers anywhere. Junaid, Kai and Charlie were Octochamps and we only had room for 3 people from Series 59. Oh and i don't know what you mean by Jan 7th. At present, we don't plan to be back on air in 2009 until Monday Jan 12th. ...

Damian E

I'd be tempted to have a few quid on Joseph Bolas.

Damian E

Okay - here's the draw for the C of C. Several contestants have asked to see who they are playing, so i might as well reveal all now. Bear in mind, that this draw is subject to change should any of the participants not be available for the recordings. C of C DRAW FIRST ROUND GAME 1 DAVID O’DONNELL V...

Damian E

I don't think Craig can walk into a future C of C event, it doesn't really work that way. Am not sure he would want to either to be honest. I think after this one, we'll not do any more C of C's anyway. I have a better idea lined up.

Damian E

i cant get it to work either.

it goes down more often than a $20 hooker.

only kidding charlie. all is much appreciated.

Damian E

I do.

Ask Chris Wills.

Damian E

Sorry David,

I wasn't being rude about Craig there, its just Julian Fell's tendency to completely over-exaggerate is becoming quite comical now.

Damian E

You're a disgrace Reams.

Do you want to know who you've drawn?

Damian E

Massive disappointent. We've had hundreds of audience members return their tickets to us already.

Damian E

Ah thanks for that Kirk. I tried practising earlier at answering as fast as possible. I simply pressed the letter D every time a conundrum started, whether there was one in the selection or not, and i managed to get a 0.2 second answer eventually, withouth of course getting the answer correct. Makes...

Damian E

It's not a bold move Julian, its the right move.

I have no qualms whatsoever about it. You worry too much !

And i won't post the first round draw on here. I think its better to see it unfold show by show. Plus i might change it, several hundred times.

Damian E

Am just curious re latest Daily Duel (all conundrums). How does someone manage to answer in 0.2 seconds? GIven that you have to hit the first letter on the word on the keyboard correctly, its an amazingly quick reaction time. The key depression alone must take 0.1 second. Don't get me wrong, i'm not...

Damian E

Yeah piss off and get some work done.
