Discuss anything that happened in recent games. This is the place to post any words you got that beat Dictionary Corner, or numbers games that evaded Rachel.
So, we've reached the end of the first week of Countdown - Series 63.
One thing I just realised is that the score of yesterday's game just needed one digit altering to make it exactly the same scoreline as a certain 5th set that took place at Wimbledon this week. Very strange.
But anyway, enough weird statistics for now. The main point is that Chris Longden is now the 2nd champion of the series, but for how long

I never thought I would read these words off a James Robinson post.
I don't think Chris was annoying, although every time he was in thought and his head was down, his hair made it look like his brain was coming out of the top of his head
I didn't find him annoying and thought he was humble in defeat today and when he was behind for long spells yesterday.
I did think his complicated way of doing the 1st numbers was a bit cockish though and I was really hoping he'd bugger it up; fair enough doing something impressive like going upto 3234 and coming back down again but what he did just seemed unnecessary.

Just had to say 25*10=250. 10 points. Move on. But there was no need for what he did. Even in Rachel's mind she thought "prick". You can see it in her eyes, watch it back!
