Just watched the video of you and Mark buying a panda puppet and you both sound pretty Geordie to me. That's a good thing, though. The softer Tyneside accents are pretty sexy. Make it work for you. You could be the new Ant and Dec.Mike Dunbar wrote:I'm from Newcastle but don't sound geordie at all.
Oi. Piss off.Phil Reynolds wrote:There haven't been any decent looking contestants for ages.
No, no, I was just making a joke on the whole thing about Rachel not finding it quite funny enough to prevent her getting a restraining order!Jason Larsen wrote: You're not obsessed with Countdown, are you?
Haha. How did I know it would be you that protested?Kirk Bevins wrote:Oi. Piss off.Phil Reynolds wrote:There haven't been any decent looking contestants for ages.
Yeah, at least that's how it used to be pronounced when he was in Susieeeeeee's seat in Dictionary Corner.Mike Dunbar wrote:Is it Eeeeeeedy?
We had that conversation, but I neglected to record it.
Ah okay. Well in the old days the Lexicographer used to change regularly. Most of them were picked from a pool of staff at OED. Damian was himself originally a contestant, before moving into DC. I seem to remember him being quite good fun in there, although he apparently didn't really like appearing in front of the camera, and is more at home in his current position.Mike Dunbar wrote:Ah wow!! Didn't know that. Clearly.
I've only really followed it with Susie... back from about... 2003ish onwards. Predictably, while I was at University.
