Also, good stuff - you should totally try and get Kirk on, I want to hear this quiz.

Nice explanation of the portmanteau. And for some reason I knew the meaning of sealpoint. Can't think why though, it's not a word that I've used... :(

Good stuff.

Haven't clicked on the link yet. Before I do:
Are there any 'spoilers' of the series finals? I haven't watched all the episodes yet.
I'm spreading out watching them, since Countdown is off the air for a few weeks. :cry:
So, also, sorry that I haven't congratulated the series winner yet. I will! 8-)

Entertaining and insightful, as usual. Jack was particularly impressed ;)

Heehee. Do you want me to merge the accounts by the way? Might as well credit you with all your hard work.

You're runing his masterplan to get on the show a third time. Jack's lined up for the series 62 champion!

At last, the final everyone wants to see: Jack Brown vs Joseph Bolas.

I thought it worked a bit like a radio show where I rang them and they could hear my voice but obviously not.

Yeah, go on then. I guess I should probably apologise to anyone who feels betrayed by this. I kinda sensed you had made the connection, Charlie. Not sure why I went all alias, probably because initially I wanted people to judge me on my TV appearances rather than my erratic early online form and didn't want to give much away. Then I realised I don't really give a shit so went legit.

The highlight of my J.Brown career was undoubtedly telling M.Zion to fuck off (sorry Kai) when he quit a game I was winning against him. If only I knew his real identity back then...

I learnt the meaning when John Davies used it at your CoC...

Sorry Charlie, that's my brother. :oops:

I'm not cool enough to play myself on two separate accounts. I'll tell him to stop, and to stop cheating as well.

That is kind of embarassing. And by the way, that is his usual standard - 4 and 3 letter words.

How do you find out anyway, that's kind of weird...

Not really, the "brother" insisted the same thing to me the other day and I was as dubious then as I am now. But as long as the stupidity stops I don't really mind being wrong.

I enjoyed it, then realised I hadn't listened to the previous two, and they killed 2 1/2 hours or so nicely. Charlie's impression* of the apterous monkey sound alone was worth it.

* For all I know, this could be the actual sound used - it was that convincing.

I always thought that was a dog.
