Discuss anything that happened in recent games. This is the place to post any words you got that beat Dictionary Corner, or numbers games that evaded Rachel.

Charlie, what was the 8 that you thought you got in the show on 20.10.08, when you declared FIBULAE?

You should post this in the spoilers thread, Rebecca - that way people won't read it before watching the show. Good question though.

BIOFUELS. Des did ask me afterwards and Susie confirmed that it was good and had beaten Dictionary Corner, but they cut that out. I should've gone for it really, I just worried that it might be hyphenated or just too new for the conservative OED types. But in hindsight it was obviously good and would've been one of my best spots of the whole thing, so I'm a bit disappointed that it got snipped. But with MEGABITS (equally bad decision) in the same episode, I guess it might've got a bit tedious.

You really fucked the subtitler over with this one btw Chucky, it first came up as FIBULAI and then as FIBLULAI in the ensuing conversation :)
