I forgot to say that the article quoted is about the 50p coin.

P.S. Have you guys got any idea how to get copper into a machine that dosen't accept copper coins? (It dosen't have to be a coin, just so long as it's made from copper.)

Wikipedia quote:
"The coin is minted from a cupronickel alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel."

In that round I was hoping for a final L for UNLIKABLE, which reminded me of the BAULKLINE incident.

I'd have thought DIASTOLES would have been valid - it's been on my 'to play' list for ages and I've never seen it come up before, so I 'went for it' only for DC to say they wouldn't allow it. Oh and from last week, add BUTANES to the list of mass nouns which have been both allowed and disallowed in...

Lizards should be kept as pets, because: They make a good pet for kids, as they normally die long after the child leaves home. Some, like the Uromastyx (killer conundrum methinks), are docile and easily tamed. Some, like the blue tongued skink, eat omnivorous diets and eat the majority of things, fr...

Lizards should be kept as pets because if you got one as a pet, trained it to do the foxtrot or tango, and took it to a circus, you would make at least £78.60 and possibly more.

Hi,
I'd like to see your opinion on whether I should go on the show or not. Ideally, I would like to become a finalist as an octo, but I doubt I'll become a series champ (that would be nice though). Are there any things I should do, like watch a recording etc.? Also, how far do you think I would get?
