Corby been trying it on again?Kai Laddiman wrote:Countdown is brilliant to everyone, even young ones. Junior Countdowners, gather here! And, sorry, 33 does not count as junior.
You bet. Hi Jay! Great to see someone has replied!David O'Donnell wrote:Corby been trying it on again?Kai Laddiman wrote:Countdown is brilliant to everyone, even young ones. Junior Countdowners, gather here! And, sorry, 33 does not count as junior.
. I auditioned for countdown when I was 10 but Damian didn't pass me, and so, for you to pass your audition at nearly the same age and win a magnificent eight games, makes you my idol 
I've been busy with college commitments and moving house so it has been difficult to just have time to go on the Internet let only the prestigious forum! Also, my Internet connection was dodgy a few weeks ago and so it forced me to pull out of the COGST tourny at the quarter final stageMatt Coates wrote:where have you been Jason, i havent seen you post anything for ages, and you havent been on apterous
.Who says there's going to be a hostess?Jason Larsen wrote:If you haven't appeared on Countdown already, are you going to? With the new host and hostess?
If the new presenter is a male, it makes sense to have a female co-host, doing Carols job. Plus also, I believe Jason would not like it, if the person who ended up doing Carols job was male (I think he said that in another thread).Michael Wallace wrote:Who says there's going to be a hostess?Jason Larsen wrote:If you haven't appeared on Countdown already, are you going to?

Oliver's the new co-host?Jason Larsen wrote:What I've been told is that the new co-host of Countdown has already been confirmed and I'm almost sure they will not back down at the last minute.
So, this message is for Oliver. Please be prepared for a big change.
Jason Larsen wrote:Dan, Dan, Dan!
Yes, Oliver should be prepared for a change in Series 60.

Now we need to start a forum-wide campaign to seek out all under-16s on apterous and force them to join the tourney at gunpoint. Who's with me?Eoin.V.Monaghan wrote:definitely-i'd enter and kai's brother could take part- 4 players already

I read Carols as Carlos. I was wondering who the hell is Carlos, is there a Mexican version of countdown now? This is why ' were invented.Joseph Bolas wrote:

Kai, you inspire champions!Oliver Garner wrote:Hi Kai,
I am 14 and became interested in countdown whilst you were on. I'm not as good as you (see my rubbish apterous rating) but I would like to play you. If we get a few more Under 16's we could make a tourny out of it.
This would be really cool.Kai Laddiman wrote:Awesome bump.

Good point. I'm going on the ProRanks listing of 17 and under. I meant to include Rob but somehow forgot, sorry.Eoin Monaghan wrote:What's the age limit? Giles Hutchings has been around a bit lately, and Rob Foster?Kai Laddiman wrote:Awesome bump.

I guess the only way to reach out to the antiforumites (Giles, Callum etc.) would be to put an announcement on apterous, but if we get 8 forumites, that wouldn't be needed.
Current interested list:
- Kai Laddiman
- Joseph Krol
- Eoin Monaghan
- James Nguyen
So, would we basically be playing a few of those people on that list, or everyone on that list? What exactly do you do in a tournament? Just play people?Kai Laddiman wrote:Awesome bump.
