Could get the legend James Martin too, as he works with one of my former tutors.

Can you say "Varsity Countdown"?

One is a member for life, right...?

(and yes, I fully expect Charlie to reply with "no, you're rubbish")

I work for Oxford, so I could . . . put some posters up for you.

Noooo...you ain't winning this by bringing in Julian Fell, Harvey Freeman, Allan Saldanha, Carol Vorderman and Chris Cummins.

And Allan Saldanha and Harvey Freeman (I think)
Edit: I missed Junaid's edit

How about members who are still students? ¬_¬

So not a Co-Ox but a Co-Var?

Would the former not guarantee a higher turnout?

I'm surprised there isn't such a think already. It sounds like something which could catch on to be a good tradition. Don't get Gyles Brandreth involved though!

Judging by my rating you can guess I won't be rushing to fight for the pride of Oxford against the likes of Fell, Saldanha, Reams etc...

I'm sure we could get Susie for DC...I know where she lives (sort of)!

I fancy a York battle-off against Fell.

Great. Now Jason's gonna be head cheerleader and I didn't even get to try out 'cause I forgot to bring my pom-poms

There are male cheerleaders, you know, Dinos!

Or, wait a minute! Of course you knew that!

Now that CoLei2 has been and gone, and Junaid has finished his run, I am happy to help organize this. I can gain access to a wide range of students and academics at a professional level, and can also distribute leaflets and posters, and advertise in newsletters.

If we are serious about this, then maybe it should be moved into the Events folder.
If not, the thirst for more events can still be quenched by Gevins Bevins you know.

Paul Gallen graduated from Queen's so I could pretty much put my feet up.

If it happens will it be open for public viewing (and more then likely public heckling)?

Can I be the "celebrity" guest who pretends they got the word for them self when actually, I'll just be stealing them from Kirk, who is doing his best to impersonate Susie?

JackHurst · Post by **JackHurst** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 11:10 pm

If not that, can I be that bloke who does some sort of entertainment with the crowd before hand and always seems to have the loudest laugh in the audience?

JackHurst · Post by **JackHurst** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 11:11 pm

If not that, Can I be hired to restrain Giles Brandreth if he turns up and wants to join in?

That would be brilliant if you're serious about this, Kirk. Now that you've discovered that you can be intentionally funny, I am not sure

I realise that I talk a lot of shit on here, so people might not know whether to take me seriously either. But I am serious when I need to be, and if we can get some former players involved as well as students, I can visualize it being quite successful.

I'm serious - I love playing Countdown. I loved playing in front of a few teachers and sixth formers at a school exhibition.

Possibly with your flies undone, for an extra frisson of excitement??
