Spoilers for Monday 29th June 2009

[Jon Corby]

Innis again innit, but never mind that...



MATT LE TISSIER IN DICTIONARY CORNER!!!!

[Charlie Reams]

Isn't there a video of the Greatest Goal Of All Time?

[Jeffrey Burgin]

I can only assume you're referring to Jon Harley's 40-yard thunderbolt for my beloved Cottagers at Loftus Road, in which case there is.

Isn't there a video of the Greatest Goal Of All Time?

I don't even know which ones I've posted up there actually, our new work filters block just about everything (no pics from imageshack or tinypic). Which one are you referring to? And which ones are up there? (I'm guessing v Blackburn and the 1st one v Newcastle)

[Charlie Reams]

Which one are you referring to?

The one from the halfway line. The two you've posted are pretty nice, mind you.

[Kirk Bevins]

I wonder if we'll get a conundrum this week with the scramble of LETISSIER. The answer is left as an exercise for the reader.

It's already been used.

What goal from the halfway line Charlie? You referring to one of Matt's (or are you on about Nayim or something)? That Blackburn one up there (assuming it is the one I'm thinking it is, without seeing) is pretty much the furthest out I remember him scoring from.

[Matt Morrison]

Am I losing my mind or did Innis just call Rachel 'Ian' at the start of the first letters round?

Actually, these options aren't mutually exclusive.

[Chris Davies]

RAILCARS, round 2.

[Matt Morrison]

Can somebody please make a looping animated GIF of Innis' opponent clapping at the end of Round 4? Awesome.

[Phil Reynolds]

Alternative 2nd numbers:

(5 + 4 + 1) x 8 + 3 = 83
83 x 7 = 581

[Phil Reynolds]

Am I losing my mind or did Innis just call Rachel 'Ian' at the start of the first letters round?

Either it was a somewhat indistinct "hello again" or he called her "hen", as in the Scottish term of endearment.

[kevin manthorpe]

Hmmm Methinks that by her surprise Rachel may not have got that second numbers round. Well done Innis!

And to balance all the blokey football talk (Aussie Rules rules!), what about Rachel's outfit today? I'm a big fan and she usually dresses really well, but today's IMHO looks like a teatowel wrapped around a 1920's all-in-one swimming costume. (Sorry!)

It's already been used.

EDIT: It was here.

[Kai Laddiman]

Oh yeh, I got ANNULETS.

[Dinos Sfyris]

I am absolutely loving watching Innis' run. His skills are the most awesome I've seen during heats since Kirk, plus he loves chemistry which is an all access pass to Coolsville

Alternative 2nd numbers:

(5 + 4 + 1) x 8 + 3 = 83
83 x 7 = 581

Ditto, also ISOPLETH as an anagram of Innis' awesome Greek rd 3 declaration and ANNULETS as a beater in round 8.

RAILCARS, round 2.

Ruined my perfect game 118/119!

[Jimmy Gough]

Really enjoying your run Innis. Almost faultless but I still think there's even better to come

[Peter Mabey]

Am I losing my mind or did Innis just call Rachel 'Ian' at the start of the first letters round?

Either it was a somewhat indistinct "hello again" or he called her "hen", as in the Scottish term of endearment.

According to the subtitle, he said "Hi again, Rachel" - but they're not to be relied on completely, as the person doing them also has to rely on the sound track.

[Junaid Mubeen]

Superb performance today from Innis...surely a dead cert for Octochampdom. Incredibly low key in the post match interviews though!

[Kirk Bevins]

I can't help but say "told you so" regarding LETISSIER, Jon. Annoying because I managed to get it instantly as I was prepared for it (even though I didn't *know* it would be that word I just used a bit of common sense) so there was no anagramming ability being used there.

I'm loving your run too, Innis. A very modest man and I loved your opponent too who was full of praise for you and shook your hand for a long time after. A good game. Well done to both.

Edit: When Matt said he was mistaken, I instantly saw it: Phil Tuffnell. I think I'm turning psychic - I'm scared.

[Charlie Reams]

Annoying because I managed to get it instantly as I was prepared for it (even though I didn't *know* it would be that word I just used a bit of common sense) so there was no anagramming ability being used there.

This is clearly unfair.

[Howard Somerset]

Me too, Kirk. Weird

[Jon Corby]

I can't help but say "told you so" regarding LETISSIER, Jon.

Er... right. Yes, I have to concede you were right, and I was... oh, also right.

[Jon Corby]

# Le Tiss, Le Tiss,
Matt Le Matt Le Tiss,
When he got TUNNELS
He beat Innis,
Matt Le Matt Le Tiss #

(Football fans will know the original chant)

Matty

[Innis Carson]

Thanks very much everyone!

Have to say I felt somewhat bad after that conundrum because, like Kirk, I knew the scramble/answer from reading the Wiki and it involved no anagramming skill on my part. I'd buzzed in before giving myself time to have any second thoughts about it though. And I was indeed saying "Hi again" in the first round, albeit not very clearly.

Duncan was a lovely man, just like Martyn was the previous day. Really friendly and supportive the whole time.

[Jon Corby]

Oh yeah sorry Innis, I was blinded by MLT. You were great too

[JimBentley]

I think it would be excellent if someone would call Rachel "Ian", though. But it would have to be throughout the show, not just once. "Hi Ian, consonant please", "One from the top please, Ian" etc. I'd like that.

Also, aweseme work once again, Innis!

[Jojo Apollo]

Well done on your third ton victory, Innis. Hopefully you will become the first octochamp of the series and possibly get close to the 900 total points barrier.

[Ben Hunter]

Also, aweseme work once again, Innis!

I'll bear this in mind for when I go on. I'll also consider taking sips of water and letting them dribble down my chin, and writing suicide threats to the opponent when I have to show them my bit of paper.
