Again, no cheating by copying people's answers as this quiz is just a bit of fun.

Enjoy and good luck everyone

Questions

1. My hobbies include the Internet, darts, mass murder, maths and rape. (Guess which 2 I'm joking about). I never thought'd I'd see the day... Although it's a shame that Stitcher's made his last post.

2. ...managing to match him on the words only to make a complete arse of the numbers. I also lost in the semis of the last CofC, this time being pipped by Mark Tournoff thanks to his brilliance on the conundrum and my rubbishness at the same.

3. Stewart won the admiration and respect of everyone in the studio on 30 November for his exemplary sportsmanship and generosity despite what must have seemed a disappointing result.

4. I'm one of the other Associate Producers on the programme and thought I'd register to keep and eye on Damian and Kate!

5. Joseph Bolas, come on down! You're the next contestant on "Countdown Posting is Right!"

6. Barnsley for a few days earlier this year. Only really follow international football in which case, England and Greece. This year just Greece.

7. How poor is my memory I'd forgotten all about this thread. The game shall be known as 'Countdown Unlimited'.

8. I'm not a fan of anything I don't understand. But I'm Roman Catholic if that helps

9. So how much was DOD paid to make it that exciting? Seriously, that was quite awesome

10. She flashed me her "Dent"...So up it I went...I'm lucky she's not all that choosy

11. I tend to find people say that when they haven't won. Congratulations David.

12. I wasn't clear on some of the points and need to see them illustrated by a model pretending to be a buxom housewife.

13. I think I might just swallow the ball and end it all.

14. Both I and Jonathan Coles had 647 points after 7 games, on our eighth game we both got 99 and in the quarter-final we both got 101 meaning that through 9 games we have exactly the same points total

15. He's probably avoiding your annoying calls. Oh and please don't reply with something inane, like takes one to know one.

16. ...you actually rearrange your diary to fit around the series finals ...you are on the countdown forum at 11.50 on a summers friday night.

17. Yawn. Jeffrey Hansford is the best ever. Settled.

18. I am glad someone has finally had the courage to say it: "Travers is well shit."

19. D'oh Jason! Surprised no-one else has said anything, since I know how touchy people are about spoilers for future games on here... never mind, we'll let you off

20. It is one of the most anticipated games this year and I am looking to see if anyone else here is getting it so I may be able to challenge them to a brawl

21. I would love to boink Carol Vorderman, I just don't think I can afford her, man.

22. Looking forward to the next one now, but regrettably will probably not be able to take part as I'll be back in France once again when you're expecting to present it.

23. Thanks for the suggestion mate, but I'm happy to report someone else is running the quiz now as she's already got plenty of material drafted.

24. Thank you for remembering, Jason! I will go back to my normal 6 and 7s again now.

25. I must say, I am growing more fond of Alastair Stewart with every appearance. Supplies some interesting anecdotes, appears to be richly knowledgable about various things and shows a genuine interest in the game.

Richard Brittain

Nice quiz, ya semi-final spoiling eejit

Hmmm. We are getting a wide range of answers which is great . But I'm surprised some people can't even remember their own quotes let alone other peoples

jasoncullen wrote:or own up to saying a certain quote because it defeats the object of the game

Forgive me if I am wrong, but doesn't this rule ask that you don't answer the one you know you said yourself? Because if you know you said it, then others will then know and then they can get extra points (depening on how many have pointed out their own quotes).

jasoncullen wrote:I'm surprised some people can't even remember their own quotes let alone other peoples

Am I the only person who paid attention to

jasoncullen wrote:Please do not ... own up to saying a certain quote because it defeats the object of the game !

?

Looks that way Michael It's Jason's fault though, because he forgot to put the important points in bold

Surely everyone will give their answers before looking through other people's (WTF does the apostrophe go in that?), so it seems a bit of a pointless rule.

Paul Howe wrote:Surely everyone will give their answers before looking through other people's (WTF does the apostrophe go in that?), so it seems a bit of a pointless rule.

Yeah, I thought that too. Plus if you're sensible you'll guess the ones you don't know anyway, so then the one you didn't answer would clearly be your one anyway. (And I think you want people's, not peoples', unless, say, China as a whole is entering one set of answers )

Ok smart alecs you have correctly spotted me contradicting myself . Forget the rule you have pointed out and just put your name to the quote number which you think you said . But I can trust everyone not to copy the people who have claimed their answers .

Woo! I won one! I officially know the most about what other people have said in the past about mundane trivialities! Yay?

Only 6

Oh well, I should've ignored the rules and mentioned my own quote so I could've got an extra point

I've give you an extra point because the bogus rule was my fault
