I guess 'Paris in the the Spring' is just too easy to spot now.

Damian is a good joker because he means well.

I expect he's got that planned for his epitaph.

I couldn't put Kane and Abel down when I read it many years ago. The day after I finished it I posted it to my mother for her to read and she enjoyed it too. However, I've never read any other Jeffrey Archer books. I rather think his reputation put me off, although I know it shouldn't. Same happene...

Lesley - I'm taking a hairdryer and straighteners if you want to borrow!

Ha Ha. Audaciously girlie post on C4C scandal!

Actually, a win with a score of 7 will guarantee his place at the finals. Haha, just imagine it. His opponent blanks every round and scores 0. Ryan is nervous as fuck and blanks every round too but manages to get RETAINS in a round containing NOTARISES. He wins 7-0 and makes the finals. Bloody hell...

My lift has bailed but I remain undeterred. Is anyone driving past Oxford or Coventry on the Wednesday with 2 spaces in the car? If so, I can offer transport costs and much anagrammy love.

Any spare tickets or owt? Just realised I wouldn't mind coming after all, but I realise it's pretty late in the day to be asking. Well, I'd say Lesley's first in line for a spare ticket as she's already made arrangements to come and stay with us in the YH on Tues night. But why don't you just come ...

Didn't catch all of 1st round. 2nd round Phew - hits of the 50's or Country songs. Couple of stinkers to have to choose from.

27 - Good call. My only reference to Alma Cogan is the line 'in the way that Mt. Everest is and Alma Cogan isn't' .

OUTSWAY was the first thing I wrote down.

It just felt so right

(Love the Herring/Vine story. Did you ever see the Peepolykus stuff at Edinburgh, or some of the crazy plays by the prepubescent Mitchell and Webb?)

Kai, you're a school boy with a marker pen and you haven't drawn a cartoon cock. Are you trying to fail, Laddiman?

Sue Sanders

What about if they're singing off screen ? I wonder if you could put Sue's vocals on one of Alec's tunes That was recorded in a studio and is a very simple song to sing. My true colours are revealed at Karaoke. Jeff's comment to RR was right - karaoke isn't about being able to sing. ( http://www.pi...

That happened in my game. Both of us declared the word that had just been the teatime teaser, but I'd not taken any notice of the TTT as Des L was chatting me up! I think playing the TTT is something that comes when you're relaxed to say....pick your nose on screen?!

Sue Sanders

Will you be reviving this poll, Marc? That football song did make me groan. What about if they're singing off screen ? Ah - not strictly karaoke as I did it in a recording studio (all be it in some bloke's basement ) My real karaoke is much more in the Tim Vine stylee and can be horrible, I'm proud...

ANOSMIA in round 2 as a beater. Well done Ryan on getting your first conundrum - just in the nick of time too! 123 points is a great score and will get you on the high scores (120+) page on The Countdown Page. Sue, I think a lot of top players now learn words for Countdown as strings of letters. My...

And that's just rubbing it in. :shock: You've got a nerve - I heard you wrote the sixth tune down when Ms Hines left the show ;) Oh yeah, and before Kai goes "ZOMG spoilers" this thread probably ought to be moved to the Spoilers section. I've been checking around the web, and the general ...

Is it slightly cynical of me to suggest it would be nice if Ryan knew these as words rather than strings of letters?

It was entirely an exercise in Bevin teasing. No offence intended, Julie. p.s A toddler style birthday party sounds lovely, and it's one of the things not having kids means I miss out on (along with an excuse to build sandcastles and play with lego) so hope Robert and the family enjoy it. Can you st...

Brilliant Alec.... and Sue I think you are getting confused. A Corby trouser press is something that works best in hotel bedrooms where, after you have taken off your clothes, you slip in between two rigid sides and spend several hours with it turned on whilst heat is generated, whereas the Corbys....

Ha Ha - these talking trouser presses can be sooo witty!

I see there's been some hit and run voting. You've got people out there Kirk, who hanker after a portion of your morning sausage in secret.

Sorry, that was so predictable.

If she's supportive she'll say yes. Surely she wants you to have fun too. Just make sure you cook her breakfast in bed the morning before. Kirk's simple philosophy - and he didn't read it in no book! Personally, I'm not sure he has the life skills so I'll take charge of sustainance and leave Kirk f...

I'll drive up on the day this time, though, rather than booking a hotel, as it's Robert's 15th birthday the day before.

But surely Julie, you just need to cook him breakfast in bed in the morning.
