Should have stuck to Box's Pizza.

Damian E

Taken from the dictionary entry for FUN........ USAGE The use of FUN as an adjective meaning 'enjoyable', as in we had a fun evening, is not fully accepted in standard English and should only be used in informal contexts. There are signs that this situation is changing though, given the recent appea...

Damian E

Got it now, Charlie.

I couldn't see the dot on my screen due to several years of violent sneezing.

BTW - the vision engineer is called Andrew, who recommended the pizza.

Was good to see you both in Leeds, everyone thought you were smart lads. I put them right after you'd left of course.

Damian E

I can't see the file anywhere?

Damian E

They definitely won't be as good as yours Gavin. Even if they were, they wouldn't.

Damian E

No it doesn't, Jason.

The closing date for applicants is Sept 19th, then we expect to start seeing people shortly after that.

Damian E

Southampton 0 Blackpool 1.

Men against boys - should have put 5 past you.

Thanks for the 3pts chaps.

Damian E

David, i didnt mean to suggest that blockbuster shows were directly affecting Countdown, i meant that the overall standard of shows on TV these days is so poor that people no longer see TV as the first form of entertainment. Programme ratings are in rapid decline across the board. Personally, i blam...

Damian E

Have Martin and Joseph ever thought about actually getting off their arses and getting a job?

Damian E

I've apparently made 15 posts to this forum of which the last two could be said to be critical. You think they are negative, I'd like to think they were at least a little constructive. In the eight years I've been watching the show's audience has fallen by three quarters, which is doubtless reflect...

Damian E

Oh look, its David, Gevin and Martin.

Of all the negative posts ever written about Countdown, i'd take a bet that collectively you are responsible for 95% of them.

The answer is clear, move to France

Edit to add............. i take your points on board. But not right now eh?

Damian E

nausea

Damian E

Negative numbers and fractions are not allowed.

Somebody once tried to be different by dividing 10 by 4 to make 2.5, but it was swiftly disallowed.

Damian E

I've seen quite a lot of non British people on Countdown, I can remember one guy from Australia circa Series 48 and some from Pakistan / India who certainly had a foreign accent but might have been born in this country. And yes if you count the republic of Ireland that would substantially increase ...

PANTHEIST - but didnt want to answer more than 4.......CORBY *cough*

3. QUARRYMEN
7. OUBLIETTE

9. HYPOGENIC

Damian E

Sounds like it should be coordinates , as in map readings and organising, but it's 11 letters.

Have you goofed David or am i up the wrong tree.......

Damian E

Question then for Damian only: Because everything is going to change, I don't suppose the "some people only have one shot" rule is going to be lifted for this new series? :P Alas no, Joseph, unless of course we run out of first-time applicants, in which case it would only be fair to start...

Damian E

Not wasting my time either, apart from the endless questions

Damian E

James, i think you'll find that means somebody asked her to play a gig in Washington.

Damian E

It's open to everyone, Jon.

Not wasting your time at all.

Damian E

Martin, the first seven words of your post were marvellous.

Damian E

Chose Mr Edwards because to avoid more tattiness and disruption, it was agreed with C4 that we would show 1 week of games that were originally shown in a calendar week themselves. That way there is SOME form of continuity. Couldn't show anything from previous eras either, so looking through the last...

Damian E

I know Matthew, but you linked to it on here without any warning to those who might open it. Bear in mind, there is a direct link to this site now on the official Channel 4 website, and over the coming months there will be lots of media attention and new traffic. They'll be very quick to disassociat...

Let's hope you will be involved in Countdown's new era!

Thanks Jason, let's hope i am (otherwise i'd better turn off the central heating)

Damian E

Cheers guys.........yes 39 yrs old Jon Corby, its true - the ravages of time and all that jazz. Let my early aesthetic demise be a lesson to you.

And happy 17th Conor also.

Damian E

Just what we don't really need Matthew.

Congrats.

Damian E

There have been about 3 or 4 in 13 years i've had the marvellous pleasure of being involved with the show. Genevive Chan was one name i can recall, blonde woman, about 40, came from France. About 10 years ago? I also remember a woman from Canada, maybe 7 or 8 years ago, a bloke from France circa 199...

Damian E

I'm sure Jade Goody will bring out the best in him............

Damian E

Ask the Daily Star, they seem to know it all

Damian E

When who was discussing what ,Gavin? And who said universities?

Weird how you can't remember such seemingly important stuff like this, yet you're so anally retentive over the minutae that everyone else doesnt give a flying fiddlestick about.

Are you losing it?

Well if it was in the Daily Star, it must be gospel.

Sores on well-known faces? (8)

Answer - BLISTERS.

(B - listers)

You're all crap.

Damian E

You'll kick yourself........(and thats not a clue)

Damian E

Dinos,
The irony went totally over your head then.
I knew someone would take the bait. Tsk, go to the back of the classroom.

Damian E

my guess is that the champion had an 8 with 'received', and the challenger made a mistake, using a letter twice and thought they had 'pomegranite'.

Damian E

What a bizarre quiz, Ann - if the question is 'what words did the contestants get from these letters'. Its very random. Its definitely in part 3 of a show, judging by the height of the letters piles. I'd take a bet it's round 12 of a show. Other than that, i can't really help you. I could check back...

How about................

Sores on well-known faces? (8)

Come on its easy.

Damian E

I have records back to Series 1, but its very much a needle in a haystack scenario without further info. What i can say though, is that the dress she wears in that photo is one she still wears now, so its definitely not 2003 or earlier. Are you really sure the photo relates to the selection - and if...

Damian E

good evening people welcome to the show........

aerosmith?

How about................

Sores on well-known faces? (8)

Damian E

You mean you've met people in real life?

I find that rather difficult to believe.

Damian E

I made it all up.

Incidentally, there is now a link to the C4C forum on the OFFICIAL Countdown web-pages at http://www.channel4.com

Here you can download the application form, read various bits of splurge and take on Susie Dent at an OUP word challenge.

Cheers

Damian E

Why should i give you a statement?

I'm not sure that Damian, as another employee himself, would necessarily have all this information.

All what information?

I'm not biting Chris, suffice to say whenever there is a stick to grab, you have a brilliant knack of grabbing the wrong end every time. ;) Are you referring to my whole post, Damian, or just the second paragraph? Well the second paragraph eats itself up merely a few lines in. If someone felt they ...

Damian E

Reese Witherspoon.

V good.

No takers for my clue then?

Damian E

I'm not sure. What makes you think he's a catholic?

Damian E

All variants and their inflections are valid.

It would be insane to suggest that you could allow MORTICER but not MORTISER. I didnt realise there needed to be a general ruling, its common sense isnt it?

Damian E

Cold, but tasty bird from Iceland?

Are you under severe stress or is there something mentally wrong with you?

Damian E

Wonderful ideas. Keep them coming, its hilarious.

Damian E

Perhaps the thought of Richard Brittain and Jeffrey Hansford was enough to see both presenters off.
