Duly noted

Romanite in Round 1

Noel Mc

Came on for Round 6 numbers. Same as above

Noel Mc

I like your man Steve. Good guest.

Noel Mc

Well spotted!
Replace Words with Letters.

Noel Mc

Could be useful to learn some words (obviously not check them)

Noel Mc

It's got 9 chapters, unimaginatively titled 'Four Words' through to 'Twelve Words'. Each chapter is basically just a list of words arranged in alphabetical order (once they themselves have been rearranged. Four Words starts with: AAAB - ABBA BABA AABC - CABA AABD - BAA'D AABG - AGBA Not gonna lie, i...

Someone in work gave me a copy of the above mentioned anagram book, published by Oxford in 1999. Anyone have any idea of its validity?

Noel Mc

I logged on for DIPTEROUS. Unsurprised that's it here already!

Noel Mc

R3 alt numbers
(75x8-9x50+7)x5

Noel Mc

I might rethink my prediction.

Noel Mc

REPHASING in some round

Noel Mc

My early guess is no. A better numbers player could have caused a 34 point swing by nailing all the numbers rounds. I'm sure I'll be proven wrong though! The conundrum was a super spot though!

Noel Mc

This could just be me, but when I'm on this site, the time always displays as an hour behind. It is currently 16.05, but this will post as 15.05. A problem with daylight savings?

Noel Mc · Re: Spoilers for Thursday 24 August 2017 (Series 77, Prelim 38) Merci to all!

Merci to all!

Noel Mc

I knew I picked a final vowel in R1 for a reason!

It was wrecking my head as to why, but could not remember! I wanted an O for SEQUOIA.

Noel Mc

Most of the conundrum was spent thinking 'Oh crap, I need this for 800!'

Noel Mc

I cringed watching it to be honest.

Noel Mc

R1 was dumb. Shoulda picked a final consonant.
R7 I wanted an E for WAYSIDE

R13 I wanted an A for FOLIATES

Foiliest was dumb.

If we're talking about maxing your score though, picking 4L the whole time is pretty dumb.

Noel Mc

Can I blame tiredness for the numbers? I had 526 in R9. R14 was just embarrassing.

Noel Mc

GUNLESS and OUTFEED were both risks as well! The other guy had gunless written down if i remember correctly.

Noel Mc

I saw 2x300 pretty quickly and just got stuck on that to be honest, couldnt look at anything else the rest of the time. Whilst my competitor thought i went 'round the houses' im pretty sure we both used all the numbers, so he can suck it.

Noel Mc

R9 alternative:

(4x50-(100+75)/25)x5

Noel Mc

They didn't show it, but Nick actually asked me what it meant. I feigned ignorance and shrugged my shoulders. He asked Susie but she said she would tell him later.

I met a few of pupils at Tesco yesterday and me FAPPING on TV is big news it seems.

Noel Mc

I think if she realised she had one thing and changed after she buzzed thats grand. There was no deceit intended when originally buzzing.

Noel Mc

Thats mostly fear in my voice to be honest!

Noel Mc

I was desperately trying to find anything else other than FAPS.

Some shocking number rounds from me so far.

Noel Mc

I came here to post a numbers solve, but Zarte already posted it

Well done for acknowledging your failings. You are forgiven.

Noel Mc

I wonder if he will change tactic for the numbers come the final?

Noel Mc

Just regarding the Irish thing: I was specifically put first on the Monday so that if I did manage 8, I could still fly home early on Tuesday evening.

Noel Mc · Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 26 July 2017 I thought his R9 solve was awesome!

I thought his R9 solve was awesome!

Noel Mc

If he had a 6 in the round he risked spokier, there would have been a crucial conundrum. Maybe he might have been more competitive in the conundrum? All surmising though!

The champion was poorer than usual at the numbers today. I reckon that could be tiredness though!

Noel Mc

Although your theory would make sense as it would allow an evening's notice in order to get a standby contestant should someone Octo.

Noel Mc

I was on the first show of the day, my audition must have sucked!

Noel Mc

Tom was awesome. Not overly surprised that his 7th game was close, the strength of his opponent being one factor, but also that it was his fifth episode in a row, probably filmed at about 8pm at night!

I'm up on the 15th of August, but 24 episodes before that!

Noel Mc

Crackin game! Poor numbers, but added to the excitement

Any of them particularly good?

Noel Mc

I know I overcomplicate number rounds at times, but doing 25/5 to get 5 is just dumb.

It's an Alison Krauss song. Ronan Keating hasn't got any songs.

Never heard 'Life is a Rollercoaster'? Quality tune

I think in NI, what happened in the last Assembly Election will continue. Unionism is on the wane here. The Alliance party in particular are nabbing most of the moderate UUP supporters. DUP may grow slightly in their share of the vote, but only because they'll be subsuming the more conservative UUP ...

Noel Mc

That's super, cheers!

Apologies if this has been discussed somewhere else. I'm sure it has, but I'm too lazy to search for it. Regarding the letter tiles used: I know that you there are more common letters than uncommon. Am I right in assuming they have two piles of consonants and vowels used per episode? They don't shuf...

Settlers is great, but moved in to a few other ones recently:
Carcasson, Puerto Rico (both like Catan to a certain extent)
Dead of Winter (cooperative Zombie board game)
Pandemic (another cooperative game)

Answers are in the house. Will put full answers up tomorrow.

Anybody want the final answer?

Noel Mc

Horror is the word that is missing! Will post the answers up in stages

Noel Mc

The pub quiz he is taking over is one of the best in the greater Belfast/Lisburn area. You need to turn up about an hour beforehand to have any hope of a seat. Class pub too.

Noel Mc

Nice and succinct! Might just use it for numbers.

Noel Mc

and I think it might reject valid words too, can anyone confirm this??

Noel Mc

I know it sucks a little bit, but it's the only thing I've found to play on my phone. Does anyone know any alternative phone-playing methods? Also, whilst it doesn't have he greatest dictionary, just wondering if anyone knows whether all the words it offers are actually valid on the show, or might s...

Some very specific questions, never mind!

Noel Mc

Hahaha yes, how can you tell?

This is a quiz I made a year or two ago for some friends, somewhat borrowing from Only Connnect. The premise is (relatively) simple: 81 questions to be answered. Once answered, they group into 27 groups of 3, each with a link. Once you have your 27 links, they group into 9 3's, again each with a lin...

I'm not off in September. I haven't been very clear... I originally was looking for a filming date when I was off. I sent through all of my holidays right through to September 2018 (although I'm back in from around the 20th of August), namely the mid terms and Summer etc. They weren't filming any of...
