Today's game takes place on Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. Will the natural selection of the letters and numbers today allow Kate Richardson to pass on her Countdown genes to tomorrow?

Re: Spoilers and comments for Thursday 12/02/2009
I played blind today... haven't done that in ages. Managed to get 92 excluding the conundrum... or 102 including it, which I had to do visually, for obvious reasons (nobody here to read out the letters). I could only get the first numbers game, the numbers are much harder to do without seeing them, at least for me.

If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

There was a DC beater with DETRUSOR in round 4. I missed all the 8s in rounds 1 and 2 (terrible start) but made up for it with the aforementioned 8, GRANULAR and GENIPAP which I'm annoyed DC mentioned.

Re: Spoilers and comments for Thursday 12/02/2009
Well technically homo- just means "the same", when you get rid of the sexual bit. It's sort of implied in "homophobia" that it's "fear" of same-sex relations, but there is no link to that in the actual word "homophobia".Charlie Reams wrote:That's pretty good, and you even resisted a joke about lesbian reproduction.

Re: Spoilers and comments for Thursday 12/02/2009
In my younger days when I was a greenham common woman I used to call myself k8, this was the early 1980's before mobile telephones had been heard of
Yorkshire curd tart is very nice, it takes a while in our house 'cos we make our own curds (curdle milk by heating it up with lemon juice then strain for a day) it's a bit weird really, my twin was always the cook when we were kids, but my yorkshire grandmother was a renowned baker so I feel like I'm morphing into her.
Liked crabwise by the way.
Today was my favourite date because Phil was so nice, although nothing spectacular happened. Tomorrow on the other hand.......

Re: Spoilers and comments for Thursday 12/02/2009
Just caught the game on 4oD, I was out plotting the revolution tonight (well planning may day in manchester with the trades council and refugees) a bit of inside information....Susie initially said "I don't think brassie is a word" then looked it up and discovered it was a golf club.
So...I've outfoxed dictionary corner twice !!!
If anyone wants any other recipes by the way I've got a fantastic cookbook inherited from my mum which is a 1950's women's institute recipe book, it's fab (take a quantity of potatoes starts one). And if you ever want to know how many threepenny bits makes a ounce in weight, it's all there for you.
Me and sara make our own flavoured vodkas as well, using fruit from my sister's allotment and supermarket vodka, it's very nice

Sorry you didn't make it Phil and congratulations to Kate, again! I was, however, very interested in your roller disco and hope it's successful. When I was a kid, in the 50's, my friends and I had the time of our lives at the roller skating rink in Chelmsford Corn Exchange (not there now). They didn't call the music 'disco' then, but they played the old 78's and I can remember whizzing around that rink every Sat morning to songs like "How much is that doggie in the window". Wow, Phil, you brought it all back to me. Couldn't do it now, not with 2 titanium/stainless steel knees, but I wouldn't mind trying!

Re: Spoilers and comments for Thursday 12/02/2009
So? I played with a dictionary at university as I was in dictionary corner adjudicating two friends playing the board game. They said of course I was going to get long words because I had a damn dictionary. Round 1 I beat both contestants with PICOTEES and it was only then that it hit one of the contestants who realised that I actually had to spot the word first so even with a dictionary it took skill. Just having a dictionary doesn't mean someone is going to beat you without one.Neil Zussman wrote:Number of dictionaries Dictionary Corner has access to: 2Charlie Reams wrote:Modesty BlazeNumber CrunchingKate Richardson wrote:So...I've outfoxed dictionary corner twice !!!

Obviously Susie knows lots of words, I'm not disputing that. But she does have a couple of advantages, however small you may feel they are- (a) she has a dictionary, and thus will never have to stick with a 'safe 7' instead of risking a 'dodgy 8' which turns out to be valid. (b) She is under a lot less pressure- if her mind goes blank, she has the guest to help her, as well as everyone whispering in her earpiece. And if all else fails, she can say 'we had nothing better than the contestants' and noone will be any the wiser. If the contestant messes up a round, they have nowhere to hide. (c) Susie is more used to the studio conditions, and hence it is less likely that her mind actually will go blank.
Having said all that, of course Susie is doing a marvellous job, and I don't want to detract from that at all.
