Chingety-ching for Chinese chicken! Like magic, here are my thoughts on today's Countdown!
Mr. Corby, you do have a heart! It's very nice of you to donate money on someone else's behalf!
Round 4: Jon, why was I not surprised that that word would come from you?
Teatime Teaser #1: Two men and four feet? I thought human beings were never supposed to have four feet? Do they think the Bolton Wanderers act like animals?
Conundrum: Jeff, your quote about putting contestants out of their misery is getting to be a running gag that I'm not too crazy about! I say that because not all conundrums are impossible to solve. I suggest you break that habit very soon!
And Jeff, you did so well with not rushing the end of the show yesterday, but why not today? Drew Carey does not rush the end of every Price is Right episode here in America by reminding the viewers to spay and neuter their pets, so why can't you? Why don't you remind the viewers to watch you on Soccer Saturday every week?

I assume that's some kind of sly dig about my little daughter's imperfect heart, you utter bastard.Jason Larsen wrote:Mr. Corby, you do have a heart!

Jon, that means metaphorically a heart of gold. You are donating money on your daughter's behalf, and my comment was not a joke.
I was trying not to match your thick skin, but rather be serious.

Don't worry Jason, the rest of us love to make light of Ms. Corby's heart problems. But it's better to do it behind his back.

No, Charlie!
He has a heart, but if for instance everybody and their brother knew who he was all of a sudden they would bring back "Celebrity Countdown" and have him on! Then, if he won he would give away a Countdown teapot to charity!
