Someone said to me that there was a Daily Mail journo going on the show soon. Must just go by a different name on here. If we see this bloke, we should prod him with him a long stick until he stops lurking.

Refusing to comment on the performance as it's entirely overshadowed by cheating. Not impressed.

when you read the forum for long enough you learn that the flowchart for deciding "are they being serious?" includes the step "Is it Corby? Then no." :-) Haha. Although I'm as serious as cancer in the Series 70 thread :x Have you said there that rhythm is a dancer? *crying with ...

So everybody writes words down, nobody writes numbers, but now it's somehow better that they realise that it's late and they're probably not going to be able to write their word down, so instead they write down the length of it, and this is supposed to help the old grannies who might take a long ti...

Whilst I'm perfectly happy with the way things are, I did have a thought with regards to Jon's opinions. If you DID want to make a change, is there a middle ground, to avoid people trying to match their opponent's declaration. Rather than ban "not written down" altogether, you could always...

Someone writing something clearly could just be someone doodling to flaunt your rule, and get themselves an extra 5 seconds, because there'd be a delay in someone saying "Oi, cut it out" as there would be with someone Hansfording now. So I'd just look like I was writing at the end of every...

Zarte Siempre

We'll have to agree to disagree Jon ( because you're wrong! ;-) ) Yes the apto kids don't bother writing down to save a few seconds. If they had to, by the rules, they would and it'd affect them less than the casual players. It's not supposed to affect anybody in terms of the time taken to write st...

Jon, from my point of view, I had several people say that when I was on the show, I seemed to not write things down very much. There were 2 reasons for this. Sometimes I'd spot a 6 straight away, but be sure there was a 7 and spend so long looking for the 7, that I'd forget to write the 6 down. You...

Usually I like having the team's clarification, but if there's any more of that I'm going to file a petition for them to muted xD *winces with pain under full force of pun*

DROSERA in R5

I quite liked it personally. In that it was clear that it was from a book aimed at children, and was a good children's poem. I shan't be rushing out to buy the book for me, but I think my cousin might like it.

Don't take it too seriously. I only started watching the show and playing on Apterous a little over 18 months ago, and I've found that the more seriously I take it, the less I perform. I just plug my headphones in, have music that isn't too distracting on and play a little bit of everything so one s...

I'd say it's unlikely Matt, there's a lot of good players this series. I don't know for a fact though.

Echoing what Jack has just said, it was really tough on Zarte to meet Dylan at that stage, but one would have to back him to reappear in the finals, and hope he does after such an impressive run of 5. The obvious thing to bear in mind is that Zarte didn't meet Dylan by chance, he met him because so...

She also claims later in the show that her father was on the show 8 months ago scoring 37 points. No matches fit that criteria, so we end it there.

One of the hardest conundrums of all time if I do say so myself. Enjoying your games Zarte, and even though I'm not scoring properly, you're beating me in lots of rounds. Robbo said yesterday that it might be familiar. A quote from a middle-aged female friend of mine "So he gets orgasms, but h...

Right, just getting this in quickly. I've not seen this yet, but apparently I looked really annoyed when I didn't get the conundrum.

I think it should be "RESIEMPRE". Just for Zarte (RE as in king!) Then we'll see how quickly it gets solved.

Lovely thought, but PREMIERES is a plural and so couldn't be used as a conundrum
