Probably, because it empathises with the loneliness and separateness felt by all its contributors.

Bundle of laughs then?

Kirk - are you hanging around the studio in the hope of gainful employment? :D Hehe no. Rich Priest, Dinos, Howard and I went to the studios for a bit of fun. When I knew Ryan was recording I'd decided to become his supporter as he didn't bring a guest with him. As for a previous question, I got 14...

Or, God forbid - Charlie (Charlotte at the weekends) is the 'lady' Matt's shaved his moustache off for.

As consolation maybe Jon could show her one of his 'special' faces. In fact...step up any female contestants who failed to win teapots... I have a plan!

Sue Sanders

Oh Lesley - that is SUCH a shame. It's been a long time since a game got me that worked up. Boiled down to the order the decs were asked for

Sue Sanders

I'm wetting myself here

(did manage to hold it in long enough to get lyonnaise though!)

Sue Sanders

Hmmm. Interesting - was Ryan going to not declare a 9 there?

Answers on a postcard, please....Ryan!

I'd be interested Sue - But I have already appeared on EH.

I don't know if you can go on twice?

Have just enquired. Frayed knot, Allan.

I'd definitely be interested.

I was part of a team ...................we never heard back.

Your reputation must go before you, Squashy

Sue Sanders

Well, my thought would be that the reserve would get say, 50% of what the others got - but generally, splitting prize money isn't a problem on Eggheads, is it?!!!

Sue Sanders

Ooh, I'm excited. Sorry Ryan, but I'm rooting for Girl Power on this one! Go Lesley!

Good second round for me today...33 And no problem with 3 Clash songs But fell for their trick in the first round - got my 'In Love With a German Filmstar' muddled with my 'Drowning in Berlin' and gave the wrong answer the 'Passions' without even being given the choices. 21 and 30 I think, well don...

Only if you can come up with a suitable catchy name for the team

The Peakin' Meakins. Welcome....team captain!

Sue Sanders

Get an application in quick and stop looking at this forum until you've been on! And as long as you don't go into melt-down, there's no shame even in playing one game and losing. You do get a great goody bag. Or you might win and get a teapot.
*sigh*

Can't tick any of the above as I don't really think that about any of them. Surely they're as diverse as any other ethnic / religious / etc. group?

I like Maureen Lipman and I like the plays of her late husband, Jack Rosenthal.
I like the song in 'Spamalot' saying you can't make a musical if you don't have Jews
Likethe dishes on a Harvester menu, there wasn't really an option in the poll I fancied.
Not even a side order of lox (on a bagel).

It would be Facebook.

The only thing I'm vaguely aware of is their hairstyles and a lingering desire to punch them.
I can't see that X Factor (etc) will ever turn out anything the pop world hasn't already got a surfeit of.
'Wild Horses' has already been done more than adequately by the Rolly Stokers.

'Starter For 10' is quite an entertaining little film - it's on Beeb 2 tonight (though I'm going to check out the Gary Glitter drama as it seems quite thought provoking!)

Sue Sanders

Thank you for that. I just read it in answer to Jack's post and tried the repair thing (on Windows 2000 premium as that is the nearest thing listed) It said the path cannot be found - or something similar and it occurs to me, spellcheck hasn't been on there since my friend reinstalled Windows for me...

Dear Matt's Computer Corner, Me again. I uninstalled Firefox after reading Jack's post about it messing with his spellcheck but it hasn't dealt with my spellcheck problem. It went AWOL about a month ago. When selecting the Abc icon, it says 'word cannot find MSSpell.3.dll or mssp232.dll for English'...

I think Phil was also picking up on the non-complete use of BIDMAS in your previous post.

Wha? Does that mean crap brackets? Grade C 'O'level taken in 1981. I don't think it's too bad!

Well, Rachel meant well, didn't she, Phil? But our way was more user friendly!

Yeah, I've just made PORKIES followed by FATTIES.

However. This has nothing to do with Movember. Do you have a 'just-giving' site for sending you hard cash?

If it was to cut the weeds, or something, I'd be more than glad to come to COLIN. It's not less fun, I'm seeing a show and it obviously can't be rearranged.

Whoops, I just forgot and shaved it all off. I even thought before I started that "I must remember to leave my 'tache", but autopilot kicked in and there it was. Or wasn't. I'll start again, but now I've got even less chance of growing anything vaguely resembling a moustache before the en...
