Re: Random Stuff
Okay, I'll try something random...
wouldn't be awesome if there was a Countdown game on the Nintendo DS? Then you could literally play all day long, wherever you are. The DS has just about everything else and I'm sure it'd sell loads.

Gee, that would be pretty immense, especially on Wi-Fi. Brilliant idea! It's on its way to Nintendo as we speak.Junaid Mubeen wrote:Okay, I'll try something random...

Sorry but I find this really insensitive. We are talking Wilfred II to the vets at 4 o'clock GMT.

Re: Random Stuff
Have just taken Wilfred II to the vets. They're going to run some blood tests and take it from there. Apparently he wasn't very happy when she tried to touch his abdomen, and nor would I have been. It got a little ugly when she put a thermometre up his bum, but Rolf Harris assures me it's going to be fine.
Thye're phoning back with the blood test results in an hour.

Err....dog is the correct spelling of the canine animal. Conor was spot on with what he said - the Countdowner bit covers the apparent dyslexia.tonywarren wrote:Does an agnostic, insomniac, Countdowner lay in bed at night wondering if there's a dog?

Re: Random Stuff
Is the poster on here who calls himself Kai Laddiman the person who was on Countdown with the same name?
And why has the real Kai been paired with a Priest on CofC? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

I used to work in WH Smith, and one electronic Countdown game was sitting on the clearance shelf for ages, and I kept toying with myself as to whether to buy it or not. On the day I eventually decided to get it and had got the money with me it had gone.
I bet people guessed the outcome to that story well before the end

Re: Random Stuff
They probably did you a favour, the electronic game was awful. The selections were almost always ridiculously nasty (Jono recalled on the podcast a round in which his opponent had M and he had a winner with HM), the solver takes ages to run and the numbers methods were really annoying to enter.Peter Dunwoody wrote: I used to work in WH Smith, and one electronic Countdown game was sitting on the clearance shelf for ages, and I kept toying with myself as to whether to buy it or not.

Re: Random Stuff
Ben, the only thing I know about Stars in Their Eyes is that Cat Deeley was a host on it.
She is now in the US, and she just might be the host of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire in daytime next year because the current host is too busy hosting The Today Show, which is an early-morning news show.
And Kai, that is not Bruce Forsyth in my clip. Remember this name. That is the absolutely futuristically venerable DREEEEEEEEEEEEW CAREEEEEEEEEEY! He was on the US version of Whose Line is it Anyway, which has since been canceled. However, you can still watch it in reruns on your days off from school on Channel 5 US at noon. You will be laughing your head off when you see Drew! He is a very funny man!
