Busy it seems! Not too bad thanks, glad to be back. Now I've just got to remember to look in more than once a fortnight...Jason Larsen wrote:Hi, Ian!
Welcome back!
How are you?
Ah, a man after my own heart. Welcome!Michael Simmonds wrote:Hi! Been meaning to post my introduction on here for sometime, but never quite got round to it! I'm Michael, 54, and have watched Countdown since it first aired. I have been a Betting Shop Manager for the first 34 years, and therefore love the numbers element of the show, but, being not so good at the words part, have never considered myself strong enough to apply to be a contestant.
This sort of thing makes me happy. Thank youMichael Simmonds wrote:Depending on work commitments, I will post occasional answers to numbers games which have not been solved on the programme, providing I can solve them myself of course! Apart from that, I just hope to enjoy the forum for all the varied news, gossip and comments. Long may it continue, and keep up the good work Charlie!
Are you French by any chance, then?roko wrote:Hello, my name's Roko and I like to watch Countdown. Thinking of applying to go on the show soon. I am studying mathematique at Hull.
Oops! You're right Jason.Jason Larsen wrote:Now that I think about it, you haven't introduced yourself either!
Please tell us about yourself!
Ooh so if Charlie makes it that far you will be his opponent in his 5th game! How exciting! Good luck!aagharmer wrote:I am due to appear on Tuesday Oct 21st.

Ross Allatt vs Mike Brailsford springs to mind. There have been others in finals and CoC's but that's the only main-series clash that I can remember.Jason Larsen wrote:I don't remember if we've ever had a Countdown forum battle before!

My favourite CD contestant is Julian Fell, though Kai's antics this week made me reconsider briefly.

Welcome to the forum JunaidJunaid Mubeen wrote:Hello everyone! Junaid Mubeen here; I was on the show a couple of weeks back. I've actually been a member here for a while but never got round to posting...until now, as I've been inspired by the sudden influx of new members after Charlie's awesome debut today.
I haven't watched that game in yearsJunaid Mubeen wrote:I'm quite sure I've met Joseph Bolas before....did we battle on Brainteaser a few years back? I remember taking on a Joseph from Liverpool who was a bit good at anagrams...how many can there be?
Congratulations on your Octochamp win and also for being one of the very few to able to get a second shot at becoming an OctochampJunaid Mubeen wrote:I've been watching Countdown since 1996. In fact the first game I ever saw was the Supreme final between Allan Saldanha and Harvey Freeman. I appeared on the show in 1998 but lost on a crucial conundrum. Then I cried for 10 years until I was finally allowed a second shot, which I'm massively grateful for and have enjoyed immensely.
