It's for the quarter finals! I'm not sure whether to read anything into the fact that you keep associating me with semis...James Robinson wrote:the winner of today's match has a return trip here next Monday to face-off with Jen Steadman in the semis.

FECKER was there as an alternative Callum beater (though not the max) in round 10.

Brilliant episode. Well done Callum I didn't see the easy way for the last numbers round either lol.
I said...
3*50=150
7-2=5
150-5=145
145*4=580
The VD comment from Rachel at the first round was funny too.

It was indeed. I wasn't aware that that abbreviation was still in common usage; the most recent use of it that I can remember is in a Friends episode from the first series.Peter Clarke wrote:The VD comment from Rachel at the first round was funny too.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

To be honest, I didn't know what it meant until I googled it as soon as I saw it At first, I just guessed that it was sex related or something lol.Johnny Canuck wrote:It was indeed.

It's an age thing, Dave. VD as a term hasn't really been around since the 1980s. Don't you remember? STD became the preferred term then (rightly so), as it encompassed all sexually transmitted diseases, not just those contracted by women.Dave Preece wrote:Some of you have never heard of VD? You geeks need to get out more!
At about the same time touch-tone telephones were coming out and I'm sure they also used something called STD (Standard Tone Dialling); I'm sure there was a joke in A Very Peculiar Practice about it, which reminds me, I should watch that again.
