Interesting outfit, black tights and top with a multicoloured skirt. I haven't decided if I like it or not. Oh and what's DANDER, is that what he said?
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Nice one Matt.
Well played Jimmy, another ton, two good nines there.
Will be good to see how near the 900 barrier you get, if you become an octochamp.

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 12th May - Jimmy Gough's post-debut
I'm very much hoping Jimmy gets through to the finals ... we could have some fireworks with him in the mix.
Interesting how Steve Davis's Countdown play is erratic, in complete contrast to his snooker. OBVIATE yesterday, and NEBULAS today; but not much else, apparently.
I think there was ENDEARED in R2 as a DC beater, but if my erratic form is anything to go by, I'll have got that wrong. Pales in comparison with the two excellent 9s from Jimmy, whatever.

You're correct - ENDEARED isn't there as there weren't three Es.Brian Moore wrote:

Well done Jimmy. Surprising Susie with nines like that and getting a reaction is such a nice feeling. So early on in your run too - that's gotta give you confidence to start offering more obscurities like SESTINA. A pleasure to watch.

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 12th May - Jimmy Gough's post-debut
Brilliant stuff Jimmy!
Liked the challenger's "do you come here often?" too, but as usual fuck-all response from the cunting audience. Twats.

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 12th May - Jimmy Gough's post-debut
Maybe they should take the audience laughter off of "Reggie Perrin" that everyone is complaining about, and dub it over Countdown instead. Or, just swap the audiences over . . . CD is definitely the funnier show!Jon Corby wrote:but as usual fuck-all response from the cunting audience. Twats.

I thought that. But if the audience had laughed, it would've seemed pretty funny. Herd mentality for you.Phil Reynolds wrote:Really? Came across as a bit creepy I thought.Jon Corby wrote:Liked the challenger's "do you come here often?" too

I thought it was a nicely conceived gag, but his deadpan delivery was so horrendous I literally went into a cringe spasm on my sofa. Rachels muted reaction said it all.Jon Corby wrote:Brilliant stuff Jimmy!

If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 12th May - Jimmy Gough's post-debut
Nice game Jimmy, you seemed to be really impressing Susie. Lucky you!
If you managed to score in every round, you'd be getting some pretty epic totals, maybe you should've just played it safe a little more? (Like not risking balones, and not buzzing in on the conundrums so quickly!) Awesome scores though. Can't help but feel sorry for your opponent though, to miss two obscure nines (obscure by regular standards anyway) and still get a very respectable score takes some doing, it must've been pretty disheartening for him when you got them.

I think it means a person's temper i.e. "it gets my dander up" - an old-fashioned saying which translates as "it irritates and annoys me".Martin Gardner wrote:what's DANDER, is that what he said?
Not sure if I've ever seen a handshake before a conundrum.

How can anyone cuss Steve Davis...I think he's just pure awesome in everything he does. Jimmy, you aint too bad either.

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 12th May - Jimmy Gough's post-debut
Cheers everybody. To have so many legends congratulate me is quite something. The response from friends/family has been absolutely quality.
I suppose "balones" was a bit of a stupid risk - I'd gone for it before on apterous (I have no idea why) so that's where I'd remembered it from. I surprised myself again a little bit with how well I played and I doubt I would've done so well if I was watching at home which I suppose is a bit different to what most people say!
Also, I thought Steve Davis was a fantastic DC guest as well as being a really friendly guy.

Well, he isn't a professional comedian, and he was clearly making (or trying to make) a joke. A TV audience should laugh, in my opinion, if only out of basic politeness.Phil Reynolds wrote:Really?

Didnt you and Reams have full penetrative sex while Susie was doing her origin of words?

I think Reams & Mubeen did as well come to think of it. The CoC was full of love!Matthew Green wrote:Didnt you and Reams have full penetrative sex while Susie was doing her origin of words?
