So, we're now at a big day in the UK.........

As the eyes of about 62 million people will surely be glued onto their TV sets at about 3:10pm to see who will join Paul Erdunast in tomorrow's Series 74 final. :P :P :P :P

And it's a tough one to call if the stats below are anything to go by..... Will it be the #2 seed, Robin McKay, or the #3 seed, Ann Dibben :? :?:

Statistics Corner:

Firstly, No.2 Seed Robin "The Basingstoke Bulwark" McKay - 9 Wins, 995 Points. (Average: 110.56)

No probs, Robin. It was a classic, you don't get many games with both contestants scoring 110+ :) I couldn't quite make out what was said at the end, did you say you saw the conundrum but thought it was spelt differently?

Was FRONDEUR available in one of the rounds?

Hi Jojo - I thought emphysema was spelt en-physema and it never occurred to me to try it with em-physema. That said, it was such a fantastic game and I was honoured to be a part of it and am so pleased for Ann. Seriously, I couldn't have lost to a nicer lady.

Ah righto, yeah those type of words are tricky buggers to spell correctly. Agreed nice lady, very courteous. :)

I think you have seen the dreaded phantom D - according to wiki ORNATURE is the 8 in the FORTUNE round.
