You have to say. If only because it'll mean I've no longer had the gayest dream in this thread.

Mark Deeks

Why was Graeme Le Saux in your local Japanese Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency? And why were you, for that matter? Did you both work there? Did one of you work there and the other a contractor in to do some plastering or something? Was it a secret, covert and possibly suspicious rendezvous point?

Mark Deeks

He also won't get anywhere near your Travelodge price paid.

Mark Deeks

Don't worry, I still think highly of you. Slightly less than I did before, obviously, and in an amount that decreases with each passing typographical error, but take comfort nonetheless.

Mark Deeks

Do other people's tyops annoy you?

Yes. This is going to be like Mark and Gevin's eating competition.

Except it will almost certainly have both a purpose and a result.

^ Does happen, that. My nan's coroner's report gave her cause of death as 'old age'. The coroner's argument was that she was 90 and thus it didn't really matter. True up to a point, though it was probably about 4.55pm on a Friday when he did this.

Mark Deeks

Someone once told me that life gets better every day until you're 60, and then bits of the body stop working. So a 60 year peak sounds good to me.

Aight, fine, stick it up your arse then. *picks up ball and leaves*

Sensational beard.

I won't be entering but I might be around Friday.

In most games, the consensus view is that the brains or brawn of a lot of people can always beat one. Which is true often enough, I guess. Seems they fell victim to that mentality and didn't think it through - it's a skill that can't be replaced en masse, only by other skilled folk. It's probably th...

For mysterious and unspecified reasons I can only attend one CO-event in the entire year. Which one should it be?
COLIN.

You had a go at me for this exact stance like three weeks ago. I can't operate in such inconsistency. Sort it out Cole.

Mark Deeks

People change on Apterous entirely so as to not be readily identified, and it rather undermines that when you say things like the above.

Can confirm that the part about me insisting that James Laverty is actually the other James Laverty has definitely happened. Multiple times.

Mark Deeks

I live at Body Hulk Bared and work at Smashed Large Frog. Awesome.

Mark Deeks

That's the nature of IP address problems Zarte, it'll just sort of do that for a few hours.

TBH Lee your opening post makes it sound like you're not enjoying the process much. If you're not enjoying it, don't do it!

Rhys Benjamin wrote:Maybe we could write a letter to Channel 4 from the Countdown collective, telling them to focus more on Countdown than comedy.

I doubt this is the majority view of the Countdown collective, and even if it is, the Countdown collective is certainly not the majority of the Catsdown audience.

Mark Deeks

Remember, it's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part. And also the winning, that counts too.

Mark Deeks

That comment also said "Definitely won't be May June 2015", which is now, so this isn't a sign of anything.

Mark Deeks

After eating my lunch, I prepare to stand up only for a very cheerful Mark Deeks to show up and say hi. he's cheerful because he randomly ran into Jon Corby, played an impromptu game of Countdown against him and humiliatingly battered him. Mark then spots a nearby girl and starts to chat her up, fi...

It's eye-opening that you thought disagreeing with Graeme is attacking. It's just a conversation!

Define 'overcrowded', if you will.

Rachel shows us 767 but, as is often the case, she shows us a more complex method when simpler solutions were also there.

Were there?

Mark Deeks

Got solved, so it can't have been that bad. Conundrums don't have to be known, just solvable.

Mark Deeks

Hey all, we did it! We scored the 127,000 points, raised about £1200 collectively, in an overall total pot of £78,000. T'were a great craic and while I am still in quite a deal of physical pain 40 hours on, it was totally worth it. A sincere thank you very much for very generous contributions. Could...

Mark Deeks

I don't know what happened. I didn't know there was a difference until Comic Relief emailed today and said "um, don't use that one". So I would advise the dartstillithurts one. And thanks!

Mark Deeks

The sixth one was the only time I've not had to fight (and succumb to) the urge to take a photo of it and run around ringing people.

Mark Deeks

Personal motivation is being drawn from the desire not to constantly lose at the annual Co:Lin dart-off next year. Had 12 darts at double 16 to beat Kirk this year and missed them all. That ends now.

Mark Deeks

Turns out yesterday's link wasn't the right one. Whoops. Here is another link to our Comic Relief marathon (don't worry, wonderful folks who did donate - it still went to Comic Relief, just not our individual cumulative total. Don't know why.) https://my.rednoseday.com/sponsor/dartsuntilithurts/ The...

It was the same day as the Coc Final - 1st March 2013.

The 25 hour show was done because it was the 25th anniversary of Comic Relief. And now, of course, t'is the 27th. So yeah, that.

Mark Deeks

Hello all, There's another Comic Relief marathon this year, and while there's no Countdown in it (we didn't know how to give a repeat performance that could compete with what we did last time), I'll be in it doing something else. Myself and two guys from Cardiff will be having a darts marathon, tryi...

In one of those nights full of short nonlinear random snippet dreams you get sometimes, and no doubt prompted by yesterday's spoilers, I dreamt Susie Dent was having a crisis of confidence.

Mark Deeks

Remember Co:Lin 2014? His adjudicator wasn't hidden that night. Loud and proud.

For what it's worth, I guessed ORPHRETIC. Turns out I was thinking of PHORETIC.

Made up? It's a thing, just not nearly as known of a thing as its homonym.

Thanks again Ben, great craic and surpassed my highest expectations with that performance. Highlight - the girl at the pub. Lowlight - being roughly 70% of the most monstrous composite photo known to man.

He got the best price, though, so technically he won Co:Lin.

That's how us mavericks roll. We don't put up with convention.

I paid £64 last Feb. Maybe you pay an extra pound the further away from reception you get. Either way, I'm sure we will tour the rooms and see staggered but distinct incremental improvements as we go.

I'm honorary winner for even accommodating that silly rule to be honest. You were lucky the officials didn't disqualify you for turning up an hour late or however long it was.

This will work as long as the top 8 all live within reasonable distance of a funny place name.

Oh dear.

I've just flicked through the people I follow, and Dylan isn't on your list. (But maybe that's intentional.) Good idea by the way.

Oh, that. Seems to still be on your mind, so yes, I'd say you were. But that's OK. Twitter doesn't discriminate.

I have no idea what you're referring to, but you're in the list. (Didn't know/notice you were on Twitter.)

Incidentally, this is still one of my favourite things.
