If it's not too late, I'd like to sign up to this please. Thanks.

I am gutted. I would have loved to come to this (especially with it not being too far away) but, sadly, we have a 65th birthday celebration in Birmingham at lunchtime that day. Unless anyone fancies doing a swap with me!!

I don't suppose PUBMAN is allowed, is it?

High praise indeed. Thanks. At least I got the letters right today!

ORMOLU in round 7?

I wondered about WAITERED but I doubt it'd be allowed.

Dolmens?

Oh bum! I was trying to do two things at once. I will pay more attention tomorrow!

CONVICT? Round 8 or 9 or thereabouts.

Gougere is Round 4? I'm afraid I still don't have access to my dictionary to check. If I've spelt it correctly, it's a sort of casserole topped with a ring of choux pastry.

Gets my vote for the funniest post on the forum.

Maybe I'm being stupid but I thought the whole point of a forum was just to 'chime in' if you feel you have something to add. And, probably of all of us, Jeff has the most to add on this topic as the person with (I assume) the most experience of DC et DL having recently lived in France for a year, a...

As long as the date works out for me, I should be there.

I have to agree. The impression conveyed is that Des sees the contestants as incidental rather than as the stars they really are. I have noticed that, on the rare occasions he asks the contestant about something on their card, he sometimes uses this as an intro to a story about himself. I think it's...

I did it a different way

75-7+1 = 69
9-1 = 8
69x8 = 552+10 = 562

POSHEST in round 6 or 7?

So, it wasn't my imagination then. Oh well, I hope he gets it cleared up soon.

Is it me or is Des getting worse at not hearing or mishearing contestants' answers? I know David O has a Northern Irish accent but he really isn't difficult to understand and, at one point today, I felt like Des was almost morphing into the Grandma on the Catherine Tate Show. I almost expected him t...

Hi I'm Karen Pearson. I was on Series 53 but was completely rubbish and got anihilated by series semi-finalist Richard Heald (who was lovely!). Like Stuart Earl, I voted against this type of forum but, not wishing to be a dinosaur, I'm going to give it a go and see how I get on. I've been a fan of C...
