Countdown recap for Tuesday, January 29th 2008

Post by David O'Donnell »

I am going to be away on this day, I did consider doing the recap later but I thought why not give one of our would-be recappers the opportunity to lose their recap cherry. So, basically, I am aiming this at Ben Pugh or Dinos: would one of you do this recap in my stead?

If not I know Joseph is pretty good at volunteering.

I'll do it, although I'd prefer it if no one referred to any cherry of mine outside the context of my fruit bowl.

Careful, I suspect Kirk's answer may violate the 'family' orientated nature of this site.

PS You're in Ben, for Tuesday.

No sign of Ben yet with today's recap. If you are having diffs Ben then let us know, or I can do the recap as I back home now.

Tuesday's not the best day for me as I have a music lesson after school, but it's up now. What happens to my cherry now?

Lol - it's funny how times change, and how quickly we forget... would you believe, David, that there was once a time not so long ago when there were never any recaps EVER?! - if you missed an episode all you could find out about it was the final score from Mike Brown's site a few weeks later, plus a brief match report if you were lucky.

Not that I'm having a go either at Mike or at you, David, but we Countdown aficionados are spoilt now with full written details and statistical analysis of every game within a few hours of its being broadcast, including GUARANTEED longest words for every round (again, unthinkable in "my day")... before long, as per Craig's suggestion, we may even have live round-by-round reporting so you don't even have to wait a couple of hours to find out whether you missed any maxima... c'est la folie!
