As luck would have it, I'm available from July onwards. Better get on the rowing machine and hope there's still some of Jeff Stelling's hair dye left, cos I'm coming in hot.

Mark Deeks

None of this has convinced me.

Mark Deeks

What's wrong with leaving the toilet seat up, exactly? It's flushed, what's the problem?

Mark Deeks

Well Musk in particular has very little cash, his wealth is all in his holdings. But that's deliberate, because he does not pay tax on having paper wealth, yet he can get all the loans he wants with it to buy what he wants. 2% interest versus 40% tax, what a world.

Mark Deeks

There was a time until recently that Twitter was a huge part of my career, and thus life. In an ideal world, it still would be. It's depressing and annoying how that can be fucked with just by some rich juvenile edgelord on a power trip, able to get tiny interest rates on ten figure loans with stock...

Mark Deeks

what if the event were actually in Lincoln?

Will be tricky to nip to the Fox and Hounds at lunch

Mark Deeks

^ Yeah, I like that one.

Mark Deeks

Yeah, me neither.

Mark Deeks

"Racist" isn't the right word, but I agree with your wider point.

Mark Deeks

Update - David has opened his eyes. Long way to go, but it's all progress.

Mark Deeks

A lot of you already know about this, but David's mum has asked me to alert the wider Countdown community to some very bad news. A week ago, David Barnard suffered a very serious cardiac arrest. Subsequent to the heart attack, he has suffered an inordinate number of seizures, and is in intensive car...

Mark Deeks

I have absolutely no evidence or logic for it, but I also cannot shake an uneasy feeling that the recent news about the privatisation or whatever the right word is of Channel 4 is going to call into question the future of the show that brought us all together. Has anyone any thoughts/insight/reassur...

Mark Deeks

Well I've been waiting 46 weeks now for my eye referral so Ian I'm moving into your house

Mark Deeks

I find it hard to believe in the integrity of a country with such a terrible human rights record and totally concur with the accusation of greenwashing.

Mark Deeks

Now do Jonah Lomu and David Campese.

Mark Deeks

"I don't follow cricket but I looked at hardly anything and formed some opinions." Good work, glad you're here. As for why Shane Warne was more of a household name in this country that Murali, it might be because he played 36 tests against England compared to 16 for Murali, and 22 on Engli...

Mark Deeks

OK I got it down to 35, though I wound up with loads of letters in the second column at the end. So I reckon it could be streamlined a couple more steps, but that'll do for me.

Mark Deeks

Got it down to 38, but was in the teens after 32 guesses. 35 is definitely doable.

Mark Deeks

I reckon it can probably get streamlined down to 35, especially if a Graeme type out there does some graeming to it with his algorithms and queries and that. I base this on the precisely three goes I've had.

Mark Deeks

Coward, that's a shame.

Mark Deeks

OK, so, it functions like Wordle, except with 1,000 grids. The aim is to solve the 1,000 grids in as few guesses as possible. This would obviously take >1000 guesses if done the normal way, so there is of course one subtle difference - you don't have to get all fives greens in the same grid at the s...

Mark Deeks

Sorry Noel. Though I will admit to using a spreadsheet.

Mark Deeks

Would totally watch a TV show with this name.

Joe Wilkinson

Plato

Mark Deeks

Fuck that guy.

I do wish the outlets wouldn't run with "Countdown contestant" though. I get that it's an angle and is inevitable, but, eh, it's not like it's in any way WHY he did this.

Mark Deeks

Nah, did about two thirds. But I see what you've done here.

Mark Deeks

Wasn't WANKPROBE, then.

Mark Deeks

My own personal view - me me meeeeeeeee - is one of avoidance. I really like animals, and I also eat both them and their products. Could I kill and eat an animal with my own hands if I had to to survive? Yes. But I don't have to, so I don't. And I can live with that. It's a hypocrisy, maybe, but if ...

In winning Colin 2013, I beat (in a row) Dinos Syris, Mark Tournoff, Jack Worsley, Eddie McCullaugh and Kirk Bevins. That's five series winner in a row. I am needy enough to point this out and am now rooting for Lauren Hamer and Gevin Chapwell to go on the TV and wreck shit even more than I already ...

Mark Deeks

It's lazy shock humour that he should stand behind. After all, it provoked (after a delay) the exact reaction that he joked it would have. Walking it back now would somehow be even lamer. It's not my thing, and it is of course a privileged man scoring cheap laughs off an oppressed class, which, eh, ...

Mark Deeks

17 days to think up that joke, how do you think it went?

Mark Deeks

Dude, stop infecting people.

Mark Deeks

See to me, those aren't reaction videos. Those are analysis, commentary, whatever. The ones that are just straight reaction....well, if it's not a dog getting the zoomies when seeing the owner it hasn't seen for two years, it's a tough sell on me

Mark Deeks

Reaction videos. Who cares?

Mark Deeks

I cannot imagine how this is possible unless you have a foreskinless one incher or a ridiculously thick toilet seat. I have certainly never done it and I don't consider myself especially skilled at pissing. Would just like to update the record and say that I have now totally done this, several time...

Guilty as charged of that but that is more because I'm on my feet ll day at work

I am emphatically on the record in my support for sitting down to wee.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Why am I washing out my yoghurt pot if you're just going to incinerate it?

I have recently learned that some people stand to wipe their arse. Whyever would you do that?

In cryptocurrency terms, what's data mining? Happened upon a concise yet not especially reassuring answer for this on Twitter: "Crypto mining is the conversion of a valuable resource into something with no intrinsic value, with no other purpose but the accumulation of wealth, all the while con...

Since no one should have to suffer seeing me naked even when asleep under a duvet (pronounced joo-vay), it's whatever t-shirt I had on the day before, then shorts over boxers. If I'm feeling especially devil-may-care, I might go for socks, but they always get kicked off during the night.

Mark Deeks

If only.

Mark Deeks

Why do we get morning glory, though? If I'm having a naughty thought, that's one thing. But why, if I'm dreaming about snooker or fishing or being criticised for hours on end or Countdown or Matt Morrison or some combination thereof, do I get rock hard in the process?

Mark Deeks

I have often dreamt (as in daydreamed) about becoming a world champion at something, but last night, I really did dream (as in actually dreamt) about becoming a world champion at something. Specifically, I became a world champion at the new yet prestigious World Peeling Bank Notes Off A Big Wad Of C...

Why do you get boners in your sleep?

There's no conspiracy there. I'm just not especially smart.

Mark Deeks

In series 79 , there were no top-tier Apterites. This could just be random chance - if you average a couple per series, sometimes you'll get more, sometimes less. However, there was definitely something about Elliott Mellor being put off to a later series, although the only discussion I could find ...

Mark Deeks

Not sure I agree with your first five words.

Mark Deeks

Yeah, basically what Fiona says. The idea of proscribing or forcing people to do things is daft anyway, however innocuous said thing is, but to then be so unnecessarily heavy-handed about it is pretty tone deaf. You really are extremely bad at talking people around to your way of thinking.

Mark Deeks

The frequency with which I dream about Matt Morrison is something I will have to examine at some point.

Mark Deeks

It's a Friday, somewhere, and I'm not doing so good. Specifically, I am in an incredibly densely-packed little corner shop [I'm the only customer but the shelves are really close together], staffed by two ladies in their 60s running two separate tills on two different sides of the shop, and I am flo...

A slightly different question. Which would hurt more: 1) Not winning a TV series for which you are favourite. 2) Not winning a big co event for which you are favourite. I think pretty much everybody would agree 1 would hurt way more. I think that probably is enough to convince me to change my first...

Mark Deeks

The TV show >>>> anything else, when it comes to prestige, and by quite some way.
