Surely you meant "its"? This has to stop - I'd be bored to death if I was browsing this thread.

Glad you spotted one of my deliberate mistakes! You missed the other one though - I didn't close my brackets either

the forum has now passed the 20,000 mark, with the 20,000th post being (if I have got this right)... I presume you've already checked whether the first ever post had an id of p=0 or p=1 in the URL? :) Nope actually, but after checking I can only find p=2 . Sounds like you're going to have to ask Ch...

Sorry - where is the closing bracket?

No such thing as bad luck in the long run I'm sorry Paul, but if I had a pound for every time somebody had tried to justify to me my alleged bad luck with that cliche, I wouldn't need to even play the damn game! It might be true in 99% of cases, and believe me I wish I was a member of that 99%. I'm...

Here you go Phil, a free hint to get your own back on Charlie:

Don't say I've never given you anything

Matt Morrison

Good points Charlie, it's always tough getting into discussions about luck - some people believe it exists, some people don't, and people's interpretations of its manifestations differ wildly, particularly when discussing their own luck as opposed to someone else's. Sadly, it's entirely impossible f...

No that was one of my rare lucky moments! "Any hole's a goal" and all that

Matt Morrison

What you consider to be bad luck is probably just bad play that you think is justified but really, over time, won't work out. The ones who cry 'fix' are just more retarded than the ones who cry 'bad luck'. This is why I'm hesitant to shout about my bad luck. Actually, that's a lie, I'm not hesitant...

Matt Morrison

How unlucky were you on Pokerstars? Just a kind of standard unluckiness really if that makes sense. Well, it doesn't, but luck isn't that easy to measure. Only played on there a few times, my main site was always PPP, PokerStars was a brief aside taken up shortly before deciding to give up. I only ...

I think the basic conclusion of this is it's impossible to enjoy Deal Or No Deal unless you disconnect all of your upper cognitive apparatus. ...or unless you're a contestant. I imagine the community spirit in the DOND hotel is probably quite warm and sticky in a cheesy but pleasant way, and if you...

my best guess would be that somehow you've disabled cookies in your browser Phil. quick test, other than searching through options to find details on cookies, would be to test in Firefox and Internet Explorer (or any two different browsers) to see if there is any different behaviour.

The rest of your post covers stuff that I'm only too well aware of. My use of the word 'technically' was shorthand for 'in the language of the programme, which no one really believes, but that's not the subject of my post so I won't bore you all with it.' ;) for sure, I knew I wasn't saying anythin...

Matt Morrison

Aha! Ok that makes a bit more sense - needless to say I had absolutely no idea (and why would I) that you were gay!
Congratulations on eventually finding happiness (not that you said you were happy, but I guess you are!), hopefully we can all achieve that in our own ways.

Matt Morrison

Well I'm glad we finally got that sorted. :) I was never really pissed at you, I can see why you misinterpreted me, that's why I made such an effort to sort that misinterpretation out. Thankfully I didn't have to go through this forum and list 10 far worse, far more disrespectful Riley-based posts, ...

Matt Morrison

Yup that's fair. I just have the inability to sit there and take all this crap when I know I haven't really done anything (much) wrong. Sorry if I was aggressive in my defence. I think you can see why I took it to heart. I've just been given a barrage of abuse and ridiculed for the whole forum for n...

Matt Morrison

Great. Now even Charlie hates me. To my defence: - plenty of people had already left messages (in previous thread and about the forum) that were SOLELY to say "rachel riley is fit". I'm not sure why I suddenly became a scapegoat for it when it was: a) only a small part of my message b) onl...

Matt Morrison

Whilst I'm a willing player, I closed my Pokerstars account recently in ongoing efforts to give up the game (I'm very unlucky, and I've been playing long enough and hard enough to KNOW that I really mean that, it's not just a feeling), and I'm only on Paddy Power Poker now. Otherwise, I'd love to ge...

It would have to be Wildlife Adventure, by Ravensburger if I recall correctly.

A fantastic, and interesting (I'm fairly sure that playing it at a young age contributed to my love of travel and animals), and surprisingly tactical game. A real gem.

Matt Morrison

If that were the case, the only way to win the hand, would be to land a straight flush on the river. You've had the maths done for you by this point obviously (even though you'd also done it yourself!)... I'm just here to say that I really really hope you did fold? Why are poker players so homophob...

Matt Morrison

It is indeed funnier when spoken, but it's only really funny in the voice of Joe Pasquale, who originated it. Cheers for the info Phil, even though you've kind of spoiled the dream for me. My uncle (you know, one of those naughty, cool uncles) taught me that one when I was about 12 or something and...

if Countdown ever gets boring. What?!?! I know, I know. Knew I'd get called up on that! I didn't even mean it to be honest. I think we can all be thankful that there's plenty of time in the day for Countdown and football. I'm not going to incur any more wrath by telling you which I'd choose if I ha...

Matt Morrison

Nobody has ever taken the first offer on that show, in America or elsewhere. just to elaborate, no one in the UK show has dealt before the 3rd offer, ie. no deals at offer 1 or offer 2. on to my main point, concerning my biggest and most painful gripe with the show... She dealt for the £3K, then pl...

These are, as far as I care, the two best jokes ever. They've been my top 2 for a very very very long time and don't look like budging any time soon: Why can't Jews be Morris Dancers? Because you have to be a complete prick to be a Morris Dancer (and this one is much better spoken than typed:) Why d...

don't have much to add other than: LIVERPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
always willing to discuss anything football (particularly current Premiership race) if Countdown ever gets boring.

Matt Morrison

Note that I am definitely NOT trying to stir any shit, but has Damien E (namechecked as the only member of show staff on this forum that I know of) ever spoken here about the furore that arose surrounding Carol's wages, all the 90% pay cut allegations etc? Apologies for not being on the ball, I just...

got LINESMAN myself but DC found that...
i wonder if you can pluralise MELANIN ?

Matt Morrison

tut tut carol, three different options... wonder if she'll have picked up one of them by the end of the show.
hope she chooses mine

Matt Morrison

numbers that carol missed:

100 / 4 = 25
x 10 = 250
8 + 7 + 2 = 17

250+ 17 = 267

Matt Morrison

COMPILERS (getting in before DC)

Matt Morrison

Hi all. Like many, heard of the site after Charlie's first plug, registered a couple of days ago.

Am 27 now and been watching the show for very many years on and off. Quite often I'm good enough but never had the courage to apply to go on

South Devon at the moment.

Matt Morrison

Yeah I can't believe Deal Or No Deal is still popular, I grimace far too often as that music begins and I realise I haven't changed the channel in time.

Matt Morrison

yes you're bang on with canton - an administrative distinct like a county, I just only half heard Suzie's explanation of barrio so was wondering if that's what it was. thanks for the recap !

and thanks for that Dinos, though i'm not even going to pretend that i'll try and remember it

Matt Morrison

toaster + a = very useful to remember!

I feel like the only person who didn't know BARRIO tho - is it the spanish version of a swiss canton then?

Matt Morrison

maybe getting a bit too deep... but going back to the numbers game, i've always thought that a struggling opponent could be turned on to a much more simple solution than that they are working on when someone sits back and looks smug at solving it quickly

What do people watch come 4:15pm?

Matt Morrison

yeah sorry I should have waited until after Dict. Cr. confirmed -is that common form for this forum, only post things that haven't been found after round is all finished?

and nice work on the numbers, I got stuck at 444

Matt Morrison

i got me WOOLLEN, double L is right yes?

Matt Morrison

anyone else think carol has way more make up on than usual?
and yes, way more = way too much

Matt Morrison

alternate numbers:

100 x 4 = 400
9 x 5 = 45
10 - 9 = 1

400 - 45 + 1 = 356

Matt Morrison

nice anagram Joseph, yes Des really didn't look like he found that funny!

Matt Morrison

wow. only reason i posted that half way through round was expecting charlie to get it!

Matt Morrison

rd3 - DILUTER i imagine would be valid

Matt Morrison

"Can I have a consonant please Carol?"
"Y"
"Because I asked for one."

I bet you guys get this all the time right?
