Re: Spoilers For Thursday 3rd December 2009
Thank you, Derek. (and no thank you, Davy.)
Today's match-up could be a critical point in Series 61. Should Tom lose, the quarter-finals will be completed, leaving the last 4 prelims as an intriguing competition to see who will be carryover champion for Series 62.
He's done well so far, just missing out on a good century yesterday. Maybe he has been getting some tips from Kirk (Probably not!)
It seems that Jon Gaunt is still dividing opinions among fellow forumites, especially after his talk about food yesterday, but I'm still on the "not so sure" side of things about him. Still, we could always plead to Damian to bring on a journalist who is the direct opposite to Gaunt.
Any suggestions

I'm surprised the "custardy" Marc didn't get TRIFLES.
Also was upset to not see a repeat of Rachel's STD gag in the previous round!

I was surprised "Aquae" was disallowed- make it at scrabble all the time. Likewise "Quean" was missed by Susie- a scrabble favourite!
Pleased to say I got "Origami" and "Realists"

I was pleased with TRIMIX in round 6 and then DC had ORIGAMI. I always find this an impressive spot, including when James Doohan got it in the finals of Series 60.

I thought DC were on top form today, dont think they missed much did they? Beat me in pretty much every round..maybe its because I only just woke up..or because I am shit.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday 3rd December 2009
The Dutch pronunciation of the diphthong AU is more-or-less like Jeff said it. I think a number of Middle English vowels were much more like Dutch, so this could indeed be an accurate throw-back (as Charlie suggests).Matt Morrison wrote:Most odd.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday 3rd December 2009
Oh okay. I thought you might know how similar certain aspects of the two languages were a few hundred years ago (esp. pronunciation), prior to the vowel shifts (and grammatical changes) that have since occurred in English.
