Gee, that would be pretty immense, especially on Wi-Fi. Brilliant idea! It's on its way to Nintendo as we speak.Junaid Mubeen wrote:Okay, I'll try something random...
wouldn't be awesome if there was a Countdown game on the Nintendo DS? Then you could literally play all day long, wherever you are. The DS has just about everything else and I'm sure it'd sell loads.
And it's an anagram of god, and we love those discussions.Jon O'Neill wrote:My dog is sickWhich is Countdown-related in the sense that I have been on Countdown, and I own the dog, and the dog is sick.
Sorry but I find this really insensitive. We are talking Wilfred II to the vets at 4 o'clock GMT. I will let everyone know how he gets on.Kirk Bevins wrote:And it's an anagram of god, and we love those discussions.Jon O'Neill wrote:My dog is sickWhich is Countdown-related in the sense that I have been on Countdown, and I own the dog, and the dog is sick.

I am an atheist too and there is no cod - or dog, for that matter.Gavin Chipper wrote:You know you get "vegetarians" that eat fish? Well I'm an atheist.
Cod bless.
Err....dog is the correct spelling of the canine animal. Conor was spot on with what he said - the Countdowner bit covers the apparent dyslexia.tonywarren wrote:Does an agnostic, insomniac, Countdowner lay in bed at night wondering if there's a dog?
Only if he's dyslexic
Yes but first they must list the anagrams of AGNOSTIC.Conor wrote:Does an agnostic, insomniac, Countdowner lay in bed at night wondering if there's a dog?
Yep.Chris Corby wrote:Is the poster on here who calls himself Kai Laddiman the person who was on Countdown with the same name?

And why has the real Kai been paired with a Priest on CofC? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

What a coincidence. My completely made up username as some relevance to the randomly picked picture. Wow.Chris Corby wrote:Is the poster on here who calls himself Kai Laddiman the person who was on Countdown with the same name?

Yeah, like the made-up Richard Brittain who had a picture of Richard Brittain as his avatar.Kai Laddiman wrote:What a coincedence. My completely made up username as some relevance to the randomly picked picture. Wow.
My guess is Stars in their Eyes Kids, so long as Matthew Kelly isn't running it.Jason Larsen wrote:Kai, if you could appear on any other game show in the world, what game show would you appear on?
I don't know why I bothered to watch this. But I would recommend people skip to 5 minutes 30 and watch the start of the showcase. It's *bizarre*.Jason Larsen wrote:Kai, if you appear on another game show in the near future, here's hoping you're as lucky as this guy:

They probably did you a favour, the electronic game was awful. The selections were almost always ridiculously nasty (Jono recalled on the podcast a round in which his opponent had M and he had a winner with HM), the solver takes ages to run and the numbers methods were really annoying to enter.Peter Dunwoody wrote: I used to work in WH Smith, and one electronic Countdown game was sitting on the clearance shelf for ages, and I kept toying with myself as to whether to buy it or not. On the day I eventually decided to get it and had got the money with me it had gone.
Ebay - that's where I got mine. I'd have to agree that it's a bit annoying, I used it for journeys and stuff but played mainly numbers.Peter Dunwoody wrote:Totally. Especially now the electronic game is unavailable.Junaid Mubeen wrote:Okay, I'll try something random...

I bet people guessed the outcome to that story well before the end

My Deal or No Deal DVD is also lying smashed in the middle of a motorway somewhere, but I bought it for that reason.Peter Dunwoody wrote:Ah yes I suppose those little electronic games of quiz shows are notoriously bad.Charlie Reams wrote:They probably did you a favour, the electronic game was awful.

Both my Deal or No Deal game and my Wheel of Fortune one are lying smashed in the middle of the M2 somewhere.
