Happy new year!

[Jason Larsen]

Happy new year, everyone!

I decided to make posting on this forum a New Year's resulution. I promise, I will post Countdown episode critiques in Series 64, when Mike Pickering returns for his third game and Countdown is followed by Noel Edmonds and our buddy Terry Wogan. I predict both Jeff Stelling's and Rachel Riley's mouths will drop open when they realize that it will be Series 64. But, Countdown is taped so what can you do?

It's nice to see those of you who are still here, and just as nice to meet everyone who have joined here since my absence. All other game shows in the world have an age limit of either 16 or 18, but Countdown is an exception. Even though it wouldn't last in America, the Brits are in a class all by themselves and without the big fans that Countdown has it wouldn't be the show it is today. Not only that, but I'm sure this forum wouldn't be here either. Charlie Reams is one of the most forgiving people I have ever known of, understanding my miscommunications. I know his culture shock is over, but I'm sure it was a pleasure for him to work for the company that brought the forum on the Internet map, Google. It has been through trial after tribulation and people have come and gone, but its mission has remained the same. It is a place for people to talk about a UK TV institution that deals with letters, numbers and a family that will grow until the cows come home -- Countdown.

Here's to a Series 65, and then some.

I really love you Big Jase. That was a lovely message to read on a miserable wet morning. Your sentiments are truly excellent.
I read it out to Heather and she was left with a smirk across her face.

[Jon O'Neill]

It's great to have you back, Jason!

[Marc Meakin]

It's great to have you back, Jason!

[Ralph Gillions]

That is a very nice message Jason.
A happy new year to you too!

[Eoin Monaghan]

Happy new year to you too Jason! Hope you have a great 2011, you made me happier knowing you'll post more. You always put a smile on my face.

[Jason Larsen]

Everyone, thank you very much but shouldn't this message make you smile and not smirk?

[Ralph Gillions]

There's no smirking going on Jason.
We are smiling with pleasure.

[Jon O'Neill]

[Jason Larsen]

Thank you!

Do I see sarcasm coming from Heather?

[Ryan Taylor]

Do I see sarcasm coming from Heather?

That's not sarcasm, Jason!

[Jason Larsen]

Heather smirked?

I'll sell you land in Timbuktu, Ryan!

[Matt Morrison]

Heather smirked?

I'll sell you land in Timbuktu, Ryan!

I am sorry, Jason. I mistyped. She did a massive smile. I did not know the difference before, I hope you can understand.

Also, what is the latest news on your Happy New Year video?!

[Jason Larsen]

Thank you, Matt!

I am sorry too, but I do not plan on making a video anytime soon.

[Soph K]

Thanks. A Happy New Year to you also.

[Jason Larsen]

[Ralph Gillions]

You will find Soph K introducing herself near the end of this page in the usual "post here first" thread Jason.

So, some of you had the courage to join Charlie's forum after joining Apterous!

Why is it not always vice versa?

Great work, people!
