Re: Ranking the variants in order of difficulty

Quite good yolks you cracked. I may shell out for a joke book to top those frieday puns.

Re: Thursday 12th November 2009 (Series 61, Prelim 84)

Genuinely sometimes I dont actually spot a word in time to write it down and additionally I do doubt the words I have written down and so carefully select ones I am sure of. When I saw RESTORING I actually thought at the time it was spelt RESTOREING so when filming it was easy for me to doubt words.

•Ryan - STOP LOOKING SO FUCKING SHIFTY THE WHOLE TIME! Get a word in 30 seconds. Write it down. Declare it. Stop fumbling around, unsure of your declaration, then pausing over which word to offer in just about every bleeding round.

My biggest fan.

Re: Tuesday 10th November 2009 (Series 61, Prelim 82)

I had it as SHWAMBY, basically because I cant spot these 9's like I would with TRAPESING, PATRONISE etc.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 13th November

And when theres about 5 seconds left on the final numbers round Tim Vine says to me to get it wrong purposely (in case anyone wondered what I was doing at that point)

Re: Spoilers for Friday 13th November

Today was definitely the most luck I had in one show. Missing PEACHIEST and not being punished, not spotting a possible DEFLATION until the clock had started, and Lucy unfortunately not risking HEPATICS and to top it all the numbers game at the end when she could have caught up went my way again.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 10th 2009

Yeah and Susie doesnt comment on the validity of it (even though Lesley had beat me) It was on a word list that I had compiled before I found apterous and sometimes if a selection looked like it had more to offer on the show I would use an anagram solver to see if there is better and then would writ...

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 10th 2009

Correct. If I was to declare first I would not have declared 9 as I didn't think it was a word..I thought it was MARINATES and not MARINADES.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 10th 2009

Is apterous down or is it just me that can't get on it? It is going through the attempts and not logging on for me. :cry:

Re: Spoilers For Friday November 6th 2009

I did actually have SOAPIES written down on my paper but discarded it as not a word, when hearing Chris declare 7 I did look to see if there was a more plausible 7 but I couldn't find it and so went with the improbable SOAPIES. I don't think it shows a personality trait by looking after the time at ...

Re: Spoilers For Monday November 9th 2009

Yes the pack certainly wasnt shuffled for the game after as there are so many similar rounds without spoiling too much. I didnt actually realise this at the time but had it pointed out to me.

Re: Spoilers For Friday November 6th 2009

Yes when I was speaking about Apterous in the green room he said he had been on but not much, he also mentioned how he had just got back into playing scrabble too so of course I was quite worried! FILAGREE settled me down though and I was genuinely calm up until round 11.

Re: Spoilers For Friday November 6th 2009

I agree Kirk, I realised I'd missed ADIPOSE when they went over to DC and thats when I spotted it about a minute too late and as for DONATED I was so set on an E coming out for ANECDOTE that I had nothing written down for that round and just fudged DONATE, realising immediately there was a D to add,...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 5th November 2009

I also had WANKED in one of the rounds but was made to retake it and pretend I had PAWNED. It made for cringeworthy viewing for me! I came across extremely nervous, grumpy, didnt smile much and some people said I was smug. I assure you I was not intending to be any of these!!
