Nah dude, don't sell yourself short, that whole "bronze cup on block of wood" shit is well clichéd. Cut glass is pure class.

The amusement value of getting some bemused engraver to etch something resembling "COLON MASTER" on a glass crystal has not been lost on me.
Does the winner get to spend 5 seconds in a geodesic dome collecting as many gold credits as possible?

When I rang them this morning to check it was done, I had to say "er, it was C, O, then a colon symbol, then L, O, N, master 2010". I avoided eye contact when I went to pick it up.

I actually do like the glass trophy. It looks much better than the other trophies I have at home.

Re: Countdown in London | 22nd May | Registration full!
I've just noticed it's got 2010 on so this is one to keep as well, unlike the CoLin which I had to hand over to Kirk in January. I really, really want it.

I thought it was a witty joke and I expected a few laughs but sadly not. I won't give up the day job - oh, wait...
Anyway of course I'm excited but I'm not practising anywhere near as much as I should be. Just under 4 weeks left to practice and I'll try to continue my run of being champion in all Countdown events in 2010. Hard task.

They're a couple that I got when I was much younger.Kirk Bevins wrote:James Robinson wrote: I actually do like the glass trophy. It looks much better than the other trophies I have at home.
Cool - what trophies do you have?
One was a shield for being in the winning team at the inaugural West Yorkshire Youth Games swimming event in 1999. I won 2 events, believe it or not and came 2nd in the other one.
The other is slightly more bizarre. - I used to go to Sunday school at my local church and every year you raised money for charity with a sort of collecting tin, and the person who raised the most money got a special trophy, and when I was around 9-10 years old, it was me. It didn't impress my sister much because our mum kept giving us the same amount of coins each to put in the tin, so based on that, we'd have tied, but I kept putting in a tiny bit extra when I could, so I won it.
Not necessarily that impressive, but they are trophies, nonetheless.
Re: Countdown in London | 22nd May | Registration full!
Well done, more than I ever had. For both sports and academia, I've always probably been kinda above-average-but-not-actually-good-enough-to-win-anything.

I should point out that there will be Mystery Prizes to play for for those of us who don't reckon we can win outright. I'll be letting people know about them in the forthcoming weeks, as long as there is enough EXCITEMENT.

Re: Countdown in London | 22nd May | Registration full!
My son Philip has recently decided he's grown out of family holidays, so, as there's now no need to wait till July when his BTEC course finishes, I've booked a fortnight's holiday in May in Cornwall for me, my daughter and 2 youngest sons. Great because it's cheaper and less busy than July, and we could all do with a break !
One downside is that I won't be able to attend CoLon 2010, as it's in the middle weekend. Luckily there are plenty of people on the waiting list for places. Please feel free to add the £4 fee towards spot prizes or whatever.
All the best, despite whatever else has gone on on the rest of the forum, I was actually looking forward to meeting you all again and playing Countdown. Maybe next time.

Re: Countdown in London | 22nd May | Registration full!
So in light of Julie T's withdrawal (and her generous donation of her registration fee), there is another memorial prize on offer! Introducing...
The Romeo and JulieT prize
Before the first game, everyone can submit a guess as to what the final points total of our Co:Lon Master will be. Note that this does not include the final deciding game, just the first six 9-rounders they will play. Whoever gets closest will win a Special Prize!
A couple of points:
1) The Co:Lon Master cannot win the Romeo and JulieT prize, since a) they could theoretically diddle the system, and ii) they're already getting a prize anyway.
2) Ties will be broken by random number generation, unless I think of something more fun nearer the time.

Unlike my error, they're unfortunately not schoolboys. Nor, for that matter, schoolgirls. But real, grown women.
Kirk - I'm disappointed this has only happened since you've got a girlfriend. It's almost as if this is no coincidence at all and you're reputed in the Countdown scene for being a sexual predator!

I suspect this will be somewhat molested by the fact the pub doesn't serve meals on a Saturday. I'd imagine that fairly soon after close of play those of us who'll be hanging around will want to set off in search of tasty noms, after which another pub will probably be in order.Matt Morrison wrote:Quick drinking survey.

Re: Countdown in London | 22nd May | Registration full!
I am catching a train and coach back to York the next day so I've decided to sleep on a mate's floor for the night. In fact, he is going to come and join us for a few drinks too. I intend to stay as late as the last tube train allows.Jon Corby wrote:
I'm kinda bound by the last train home (which is about 1am I think). I certainly hope to be out drinking until late.
