I made a brief appearance on Channel 4's The Hotel last night (Series 2 Episode 4). Go to 38 mins on Sky + or 29 mins on 4OD. Just after the mussels are served, you will see me (bald head) to the right of the 2 Welsh guys the programme is focussing on. ( I would post an image but I don't have the te...

Email now sent - We'll just have to wait and see what happens in the future. Really? What did it say? (If you can't be more specific you might have been better off not saying anything on here!) Can you ask if I can go back on as well please? Jon - I couldn't possibly divulge the contents of a priva...

Philip Jarvis

Anyway Phil, wouldn't you stand a better chance of Damian reading your request if you emailed it to the programme? I think posting on the forum has even less chance of eliciting a response. In my email exchange with Damian about under-16 players (which I actually initiated on Twitter) he said he di...

Philip Jarvis

Um, no. :oops: Scoring as if he was playing them, rather than flat scoring. This. From memory, I scored 119 against scores of 38 and late 20 something. But the margin of my armchair performance v a studio score is not that important. I just felt motivated to open up discussion on an old chestnut af...

FAO Damian Eadie (if you are still monitoring this site) Dear Damian After being treated to Jack Worsley’s skills over the past 8 episodes, I see the standard of today’s Countdown contestants slumped in comparison. Whilst I’m just a medium ranked player in Apterous terms, I still managed to beat th...

Jack Worsley wrote: I hope Graeme wins tomorrow. As well as the controversy that Carl has caused, he has been nowhere near as good as Graeme during his run. I think I speak for almost every other forum member by saying this.

This.

Well done Graeme. I hope you go on to beat Carl in style tomorrow.

Best "I've got a nine" look EVER. http://greem.co.uk/nonsense/gardenias.gif Just got to see the recording. Great entertainment. I rewinded SKY+ at the time to see this look again but it doesn't quite capture the upward motion of the eyes as well as the left and right. Even so, it's still ...

Philip Jarvis

I was shocked when Susie disallowed JOINDERS. Just checked and it's valid on Apterous.

Rd 7 - VOIDNESS as a DC beater

Philip Jarvis

For the record, I'm approaching 54 and feeling an increasing number of aches and pains. I've survived all sorts of dodgy meals - Indian, Chinese, Italian etc. This, however, is a bit extreme. I think I'll be staying away from fish and chips from now on! http://uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/mystery-allergy-...

A true LOL moment for me. Given our results so far this season, I never expected this. Up the Bantams!

Also - well done Jayne on becoming an Octochamp.

Still a regular viewer. Sky+ it and then watch it when I can.

I'm due to play Tracey in week 1 and PM'd her on Mon 12 Sept. I haven't had a reply but she must be around because she's been playing duel on a daily basis.

Philip Jarvis

And of course, that also means that Carl is the 6th octochamp in a row to start his run on a Tuesday. 8-) :geek: :ugeek: Eureka!! Now I realise why I lost nearly 10 years ago. My game was on a Friday. Oh .... but wait a minute ...... I think it was actually filmed on a Tuesday. I'm now confused. :?...

Philip Jarvis

I'm surprised Carl didn't get BARBELL in round 9.

Philip Jarvis

Landmark - most players haven't managed to get a total max game in the normal 15 rounder (myself included). How about landmarks for 1st 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 max games?

Philip Jarvis

Count me in

Philip Jarvis

It's good to see an oldie playing a very good game.

Philip Jarvis

I'm pretty useless at conundrums (whether against duel; bot or human) so it makes no difference to me.

EMULSION for a DC beater in the IMPULSE round.

Philip Jarvis

What a finish. Did anyone else shout the conundrum answer at the screen in a very loud and inappropriate manner? Yes. Nothing against Matt but I was rooting for Andrew in this game. I was shouting the answer and yelling at Andrew to press the buzzer. I was gobsmacked when he finally did press and c...

From Tue 7 June 2011:

Excellent first game Graeme. Maintain that standard and I expect you'll become the first Octochamp of the new series.

Philip Jarvis

Just got to watch it. Excellent game. Adam and Edward were clearly the best 2 players of the series. Well done Edward on becoming champ.

Hi Phil. It's a bit too far for me but it sounds great. Hope all goes well.

Well played Tom. A good, solid, confident performance.

Philip Jarvis

Did Keith Bennett get an answer to his question yesterday?

No word of a lie, my wife Julie watched today's episode whilst doing the ironing and asked if Tony is a carpet salesman. I was bit nonplussed until she said "He's got a nice line in rugs."

I remain au naturelle.

I think I also sensed what Ryan is getting at. I got the impression he went into the game full of confidence but it all started to go wrong after the 1st round. In next to no time he was losing by 20 odd points and showed his annoyance by throwing his pen down when he declared "ADVISE" but...

There once was a desire to start a new thread, I posted it from a good idea in my head. Jarvis killed it double quick, With his thunderous dick, And now I often wake up sweating in bed.

I see the challenger Bruce Lambert had previously been on before and won. I'm now confused. Why was he allowed another go?
