[Jimmy Gough]

The black one?

[Matt Morrison]

Anyone got a link?

[Dinos Sfyris]

Yes

[Matthew Green]

I dont know what all the fuss is about, Zimbabwe have had a black president for years and he's crap.

[Jason Larsen]

Damian, that's old news!

If you moved to America, would you be a Republican?

Also, this must be a joke at my expense!

[Paul Hammond]

I had the Newsnight election special on my DVR, but I hadn't got round to watching it. Now you've ruined it for me. Thanks a lot.

[D Eadie]

Jason, if i moved to America i'd be insane.
Jerry Springer comes to Countdown soon, that's as good as it gets for you my friend.

[Jason Larsen]

I wish Betty White would be in Dictionary Corner for a week!

Me too, this should be in the spoilers section.

[Julie T]

LOL, Damian!

BTW, loved this happy pic in my Times this morning:

Michelle Obama actually left a message on my machine, you know!

So, that's two American women I hope to see in Dictionary Corner on Countdown, Betty White and Michelle Obama!

[Rosemary Roberts]

I wish Betty White would be in Dictionary Corner for a week!

But I see she was up for murder again in Boston.

[Jason Larsen]

She left Boston Legal! That show was canceled!

She married the original American host of Password. That's why I think she would be good in Dictionary Corner on Countdown.

They're still running the last series in the UK. We live in a different time warp from you.

[Jason Larsen]

There will be no more new episodes of Boston Legal after you're done watching it. Boston Legal is a good show, but it run its course here in America. That's why it's canceled.

That's the way the cookie crumbles!

How about Michelle Obama in Dictionary Corner?

[Rosemary Roberts]

That's the way the cookie crumbles!

Yes. It's a sad fact that cookies do eventually crumble. And that makes them no good for dunking in coffee.

Can you buy Hobnobs in the states? They go well with Countdown.

[Lucy Gowers]

Can you buy Hobnobs in the states?

You can get them in New York - there's a grocery store for homesick British ex-pats, next door to a fish and chip shop called "A Salt and Battery". Richard Whiteley would have loved that.


Can you get them in Seattle, Jason?

[Jason Larsen]

You just want to be figurative, don't you, Rosemary?

What are Hobnobs?

[Joseph Bolas]

What are Hobnobs?

They are Biscuits.

EDIT: Link works now

[Lucy Gowers]

What are Hobnobs?

They are [urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HobNob]Biscuits[/url].

They're a bit like a graham cracker, only made with oats.

[Jason Larsen]

We don't have those cookies here.

If we did, I would say, "Holy, Michelle Obama!"

[Lucy Gowers]

What are Hobnobs?

They are Biscuits.

EDIT: Link works now

Joe, did you edit the Wiki page too?!

[Rosemary Roberts]

Joe, did you edit the Wiki page too?!

It's been repaired now.

Joe, did you edit the Wiki page too?!

Oh no, I've done no editing on the page. What it was, was that I mistyped the link before when I posted it, so I was correcting that so the link (to the Wiki page) worked . If you look at an above post, you can see my original post, that you quoted, before I fixed the link .

[Jason Larsen]

Ok
