Cheltenham racing cancelled
Since Countdown was cancelled so that Cheltenham racing can be shown, now that the racing has been called off today what's the chances of getting some old Countdown highlights at 3:25 this afternoon?

yep, better than some shitty deal or no deal 'classic' where a bunch of slightly handicapped working class people 'really try their best' to randomly pick a number between 1 and 22 and then start crying because their probability logic is below that of a retarded slug.
What about Julians 146? Itd be good to see Richard again as well.

If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

Re: Cheltenham racing cancelled
I believe it's a pun on the different meanings of "class". Such japery is probably beyond people of your class.

Deal Or No Deal bashing aside, yesterday's episode was f***ing fantastic

Just plodding my way through in my plebeian way, in the hope of eventually spotting the punning opportunity that is clearly so readily apparent to my intellectual betters.
I can also amuse myself by speculating on the grouping of organisms in which a slightly handicapped, working class Deal Or No Deal contestant would place Matthew.
