Couldn't quite see the Bruce Forsyth likeness.More like Lord Sebastian Coe in my opinion.

Richard Priest

If words were human beings, VENERATES and ENERVATES would be getting a bit of a complex by now; they came up (minus the S) in my quarter-final against Tim Reypert too and no-one in the studio saw them then either.(Including me but I got them today).

Richard Priest

INFLECTS, round 6.

Good solid performance Debbi, well played.

Richard Priest

Very impressive start, will be interesting to see how long she can keep it up.

Bit surprised about CONMEN, I'd have gone for that myself.

By the way what's with this new "shaking hands before the game" thing that seems to have started?

Richard Priest

Yeah I was a bit surprised by the numbers failure, you couldn't have asked for a much easier numbers game than that.

Richard Priest

Would love to enter but I'm away on holiday from 8th to 15th Sept, so if this will make things difficult then leave me out.

Richard Priest

To echo everyone else's comments - great day, very well organised, fantastic job Jeff. Great to see familiar faces again and meet some new ones too. Sorry I arrived late, will try not to let it happen again. Amazing standard of play all round, I felt like I had to bust a gut just to keep up with eve...

Richard Priest

REDOLENT, round 8. Missed ROASTED though, went a bit brain dead on that round.

Richard Priest

Wonder how Alex will fare today? I'm aware he's written a spoiler article but I purposely haven't read it.

GRIMACES, round 4.

Richard Priest

1st numbers alternative 9 x 75 =675 50/2 = 25 100-25 = 75 75/25 = 3 + 675 = 678

Richard Priest

I emailed my application the other day and it's come back now as undeliverable. Has that happened to anyone else on here? Just wondered if they've been deluged with applications and it's caused problems.

Richard Priest

Did Jeremy say FOGGIEST? As it would have been an ok word but no-one mentioned that there was only one G.Or did I mishear him.

Richard Priest

Surprised they didn't get SLANTED in round 4.

Richard Priest

GCSE results day for me today and here are my results. A* - English Language, Religious Education A - Science, Business Studies, History and English Literature B - Mathematics, Latin, Physical Education Make your own judgements. But the B in maths was the stand out major disappointment for myself. ...

Who else on here is going to?

I'm applying! Got to be in it to win it.

We're still warming up, just wait till the return game.

(We live in hope......)

Richard Priest

My local team away to Jason Cullen's local team today. Wonder what the result will be.

A guy of French origin named Pierre Sandrini appeared in series 27 and reached the quarter-finals.

What a great event, with many memorable moments. And what a pleasure to finally meet the one and only Joyce Cansfield! Thanks once again to Ben and his mum for organizing another succesful Co- Event. I echo those sentiments. It was great to meet up again with familiar faces and also meet those I'd ...

Richard Priest

Hi everyone, looking forward to meeting you all. I would just say - please don't be offended if I don't recognize some of you - I've seen very little Countdown in the last 4 years or so and have completely missed the likes of Paul Howe, Jono and others on-screen. Yeah I'm the same, I wouldn't recog...

Richard Priest

Due to pc problems since last Saturday I was unable to watch the final and 3rd place play-off but well done Julian and Kirk, bad luck Damian and Ben, and thanks once again to Jono for organising a great tournament.

Richard Priest

Good luck to all 6 who are in action, got a lot going on at home at the moment (renovations that is) so not sure I can watch but will do my best. Thanks too to Jon for organising a great tournament.Really enjoyed it.It was interesting to play Howard and Charlie because with them not having been on t...

Richard Priest

same here jay, i thought CLANGIEST, bev is lucky shes not playin someone like DOD cuz she would end up on 0 points, i aint kidding, i do like her tho, but i cannot believe how she passed the audition, i dont think she has declared anything in 5 numbers games, which may well be a first Yeah, I thoug...

Richard Priest

Wow - without meaning to sound harsh but did anyone else think today's standard was very poor, particularly on the numbers? I think it was on for lowest combined score ever until Bev got the last-second conundrum. I liked her, she seems constantly surprised by everything. Doubt she'll win tomorrow ...

Agreed, and she was rubbish anyway.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

My thoughts too. I think it'd open the floodgates a bit if she was given another go.

Richard Priest

The was a case once, I can't remember how long ago, or even who was the presenter, when both contestants said that they hadn't written their solution down. I thought at the time that the obvious way round this one was to ask both players to write their answer down before giving it, but I believe th...

How do you usually view yourself?

I view myself as "good but not that good". Only a minority of people on the show have ever got to the series finals, but at the same time I know I'm not in the Fell/Beevers/O'Donnell etc. league.

Richard Priest

He made me feel pretty ordinary. Great to have the chance to play him though, it's taught me a few new words if nothing else!

Richard Priest

Well done Jon, bad luck Karen but stick with it I'm sure your day will come.

Richard Priest

Today's result, for the sake of completeness: Julian Fell 112-71 Rich Priest (see recap written by Charlie) Thanks Charlie for hosting, and to Rich for playing Pleasure, Julian. Enjoyed the challenge even though I got thrashed. You're certainly one of the greatest ever. I've learnt some new words w...

Richard Priest

Patricia did well to get out of this one, I thought she was a goner until the last couple of rounds. It reminded me a lot of my own 2nd show against Gill Ford, when she outplayed me on the letters and I only just got through by being better on the numbers and pipping her to the conundrum. It shows w...

Richard Priest

I too was sorry to see Katy go, but it was a quality match and Patricia deserved her win. IVORIES beat me too, as well as DUDGEON.If she keeps that up I think she could win at least a few more. But you never know, every game is different.

Richard Priest

Julian - any time between 5.30pm and 7pm Tuesday onwards is ok for me, failing that I may be able to do Saturday daytime.Looking forward to the challenge!

Good stuff Martin, I'll send you a PM nearer the time. The first result is in: Rich Priest 99-78 Charlie Reams The scoreline doesn't reflect the closeness throughout, it was a very good game and the lead changed hands more times than an arthritic wanker. Rich makes it into next weeks QFs, and Charl...

Richard Priest

LOCATED as an equaller, round 13 I think.

Richard Priest

HETAIRA, round 1. A Conor Travers word from his series final if I remember rightly.

Richard Priest

1st numbers alternative - 75 - (7-3) = 71 x (7 + 5) = 852

TITRATE as an equaller, round 8.

Richard Priest

2nd numbers alternative - (7 - 3) x (9 - 1) = 32 x 25 = 800 - 10

I had severe self-inflicted bruises on my shins after missing APOGEES and also saw LEXICON but in the heat of battle wasn't sure if it was capitalised so didn't risk it. :cry: But it would have served only to make the niceloser (sorry couldn't resist that) a bit less one-sided. David played a great ...

To answer my own question, I presume Peter had it written down correctly anyway, so it would have been OK. Not sure about that one actually, Malcolm. I watched Neil Sneddon v Tony Gilgun the day before my games and on one round Neil offered STUPID, after which Tony mistakenly declared STUPID too wh...

Very good game again today. I thought I was on to something with ALTERIOR, but I obviously don't know my English well enough. Anyone else notice Richard's cheeky wink during the round he spotted the nine? :P I was winking at one of my mates in the audience. I knew if I remained unbeaten on that rou...

Richard Priest

Was I the only one to mis-hear Peter, or did he really say 6 - 3 = 2, as Carol wrote? Doubtless that was a slip of the tongue, but technically it was a mis-declaration, if I heard him correctly. Also Richard was very generous to correct Carol for the error, but by then he could afford to be generou...

I thought Ricky Tomlinson was awful. Alastair Stewart isn't that bad. Of course, yes, he has that sort of posh, snide, Cromwellian pomposity to him, but he's an interesting enough character to have on for a week in my opinion. Agree. I thought Alastair was ok. At least he went and shook hands with ...
