I'm thinking of changing the location, because Phil Makepeace has voiced some concerns over the state of the track in Enfield. Personally, I believe the Co-lympics would be well suited to a slightly decrepid old track overlooked by a sizeable and completely empty, delapidated old stadium, but I can...

Full-time undergraduate at UCL. Part-time flyer-hander-outer and part-time library assistant. The latter is far more enjoyable.

Ed's a bit of a hero. Just to chip in with irrelevant banter, I play London League chess at Nick Wainwright's local.

On another day, this game was Ian's. As it was, I scraped through 160 - 144.

Phil Makepeace

Go on then, Charlie. Cheers.

DAEMONS for 7 in R13 as well.

CONSOLER in R7. And SPREADS in R8.

Ohhh stop it. I ran that 100m 2 years ago during rugby training, my 'career' in athletics stopped when I was 15 when I tore quads during a 4x400. And those times I mooted were mere estimates. I'd have to take steroids to get below 11s for the 100.

Phil Makepeace

TIMPANI in round 3. PITHOI's a decent 6.

Oh, and ARANEIDS in round 4.

Phil Makepeace

It wound through the woods from about mile 8-10. It wasn't particularly steep, but a steady enough incline over a long enough distance to test weary legs. I know it's held in late September, but to start a long-distance race at 1pm is insanity.

I've played Phil Makepeace, who has an ELO rating and is strong enough to play in the British Championship :shock: While this is true insofar as I've qualified for the main British on two occasions, I'm by no means 'up there'. My current English grade is 183 and my International ELO 2042, which put...

I ran the Windsor Half last year with no training Phil. It nearly killed me, the hottest day of the year as well. I got dehydration cramps going up the epic hill around the 9 mile point. Not fun. It's a shame you can't see my mile splits; I went through halfway in about 45 minutes and then went to ...

Phil Makepeace

Well, stick me down for everything. Except the 10k, I'm sick of long-distance ever since my half-marathon last year . Oliver, as Richard has already said, those are decent times. I was running around that at your age but I broke a leg and ruptured knee ligaments twice and then lost interest. DON'T D...

I would imagine that's because it's spelt WIENER, wiener.

I'll be at an all-day gigamathon in Kentish Town, so no can do I'm afraid.

I've just created Tyler Durden. One can but hope.

In pursuit of Chris Davies' Touchdown Letters Attack record, things weren't looking good after the first half. Even 6 nines in the second half only netted me the 2nd highest score ever.

Tremendously sad. The numbers solutions particularly are ludicrous.

If it clashes with Freshers' Week, no. If it doesn't, possibly.

Phil Makepeace

I've just noticed The Airborne Toxic Event are mainstaging at Latitude on Saturday. I might just have to see them, even though they clash with Joe Gideon & The Shark.

Oh, and on the Gandhi theme, Propagandhi niche that market rather well.

Phil Makepeace

I think there's a problem with Hyper numbers. I managed to beat the max in Round 10.

Nice one Jim. A propos my above post, David Cronenberg's Wife were the one I saw a few weeks ago at Lexapalooza Fest in Holloway. Looks like I'm going to have to check out Svartbag after your Mogwai comparison.

It says a lot that you got on to giving a reasonably hefty plug for Summer Heights High. Puck you, Charlie.

Round 8: OSTINATO

Phil Makepeace

Following a brief enquiry to Damian a few weeks ago regarding a potential reappearance in x years, which garnered the reply "I don't see why not", I can't pretend I'm not deflated by this news. However, in some ways, I'm glad that an absolute decision has been made as it clarifies the situ...

Yeah, this was ULU. Brutal acoustics.

Seen a few of them live, Matt. Future of the Left's gig the other week gave me unrivalled tinnitus. They were even louder than Mogwai.

Also, I'm assuming that Dogs Die In Hot Cars are way too famous for this competition...? Your assumption is correct. And of course honourable mentions to Superman Revenge Squad, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Superheroes of BMX (later Bloc Party), The Popes of Chillitown and the peerless General Bovine...

I saw one of those bands 2 weeks ago! I'll reveal all once a winner has been announced. Also, I'm assuming that Dogs Die In Hot Cars are way too famous for this competition...?

Jerry Humphreys. And, er, me.

Linguistics. I've got an unconditional place at King's for English Language & Communication if it doesn't come in.

Phil Makepeace

I'm humbled to have been nominated, however I don't qualify in either sense of the word. I appeared in Series 57, losing to James Hurrell in his seventh show. Nevertheless, I am currently considering reapplying Kirk-style at some point; I've definitely improved since 2007. Oh, and props to Ben Wilso...

I was pretty happy with this max finish:

Go go go!
