This game should be exciting for a few reasons: Kai has left us after his impressive string of 8 victories, but on the plus side we have 2 exciting new contestants, and one of them is Irish, which is always good for a laugh, and furthermore he's a priest! Also the winner of today's game has to take on some David Beckham lookalike called Charlie Reams. I think he built this whole forum or something. Anyway lets crack on with it!

Not that what you said is really wrong, but I guess you meant "compulsory"?Dinos Sfyris wrote:C2: Challenger (Father) John McCarthy, a priest from Cove(?) in Cork who supports Man Utd (its compulsive if you're from Ireland apparently).
Re: Tuesday 14th October (Series 59, Game 62)
In fairness to Dinos, it did come up as Cove on the subtitles as well.Malcolm James wrote:It's spelt Cobh.
