Cheltenham racing cancelled

[Howard Somerset]

Since Countdown was cancelled so that Cheltenham racing can be shown, now that the racing has been called off today what's the chances of getting some old Countdown highlights at 3:25 this afternoon?

yep, better than some shitty deal or no deal 'classic' where a bunch of slightly handicapped working class people 'really try their best' to randomly pick a number between 1 and 22 and then start crying because their probability logic is below that of a retarded slug.

What about Julians 146? Itd be good to see Richard again as well.

a bunch of slightly handicapped working class people.

Just as a point of interest, in what class do you place yourself, Matthew?

Its not all that bad. Sometimes to make things reeeeeeeeeeeally interesting they change the colour of the boxes.

Noel ate a banana once during the show as well. That was a particularly memorable episode.

I'm surprised you stayed awake long enough to see that.

A class above anybody who has appeared on or regularly watches Deal Or No Deal.

[Jon O'Neill]

Is he joking I just can't tell.

[Charlie Reams]

I believe it's a pun on the different meanings of "class". Such japery is probably beyond people of your class.

Deal Or No Deal bashing aside, yesterday's episode was f***ing fantastic

Just plodding my way through in my plebeian way, in the hope of eventually spotting the punning opportunity that is clearly so readily apparent to my intellectual betters.

I can also amuse myself by speculating on the grouping of organisms in which a slightly handicapped, working class Deal Or No Deal contestant would place Matthew.

[Charlie Reams]

This one caught my eye.
