Spoilers For Thursday January 13th 2011

Post by James Robinson »

On we go, further and further into Series 64, but now we're guided by the Apte-light of Adam Gillard, who got himself an impressive win and a century to boot in yesterday's win over Gavin Cooksley.

How far can he go in his quest for octochampdom.... :?:

Join me for the Robinson Recap later to see if he can pass his 2nd test. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

Nicely done, Adam. You ruined my max game with SUTTEES there. :x Luckily, I wouldn't have got BANDEROLS either, but very well done again.

SUPINATE in round 2 and SAMANGO in round 9.

JUSTEST was also there in the same round as SUTTEES (which was a quality spot by Adam). Its not valid on apterous, but JUST is a one syllable adjective so is valid under the countdown rules. Could also have had TSETSE for 6.

Just looked at the recap and would have maxed everything but the conundrum. Pretty confident I would have got that too given a little bit longer :) [/twattish brag]

If Likes weren't broken we would be able to see if people found it funny or not. But Likes are broke so I guess I'm tasteless?

I like humour to take risks - which means that sometimes boundaries will be overstepped. I lose interest in comedians when they try to get the majority of their laughs from the overstepping of the boundaries rather than the sharpness of comic insight. Frankie Boyle is one person who can be funny AND tasteless, but he loses me when he thinks that insult per se is funny. Insult can be very funny, but for me it needs the right context to make it work as humour rather than, er, insult, and a deserving target.
