Rhys Benjamin · Re: Spoilers for Good Friday 22 April 2011 Fixed.

Fixed.

Rhys Benjamin

With the finals looming, I have completed my Predcitions suggesting EDWARD MCCULLAGH will win.

Rhys Benjamin

It's a Good Friday so let's see if the episode of Countdown is as good.

Mary Adie is now on 440 points from 5 games, at an average of 88 ppg (points per game)

Who will be her challenger today?

Join Mike soon.

Rhys Benjamin

Because I hope it reminds Charlie to make another

Rhys Benjamin

BUMP.

Turkey attendances have been so poor because all the fans in Turkey, students, are doing exams during the Grand Prix. Anyone fancy a trip to the Asian Side of Istanbul?

Rhys Benjamin

BUMP.

Rhys Benjamin

Wrong Thread.

Rhys Benjamin

Gavin, You have rescued me!

All right then. Find you opponents twice over 41 weeks - shouldn't be too hard!

Rhys Benjamin

BUMP!

Is this still going?

Rhys Benjamin

Good Friday? I'll make it even better

Rhys Benjamin

Let's just clear up some stuff.

1) If you can't play in MORE THAN 3 weeks until 8 May, then you can JUST make it.

2) If you haven't played 10 matches by this date, then I'll just award the wins to your opponent.

3) So, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get on with it!

Rhys Benjamin

Agreed.

Rhys Benjamin

on what?

Rhys Benjamin

This is a big one, and this is my intention to make it the biggest so far. This, Ladies and Gentleman, is the Barclays Premier League on Apterous. As such, I have timed it to run alongside the real Barclays Premier League, starting on Saturday 13 August 2011 and running to Sunday 28 May 2012, 3 week...

Rhys Benjamin

Okay, back on track, since there's a good few under 17's on Pro Ranks who aren't on the forum or don't visit it that often (Giles Hutchings, Robert Pajab and Rob Foster sticking out), maybe you could use an announcement or something? 14 April 2011 News: If you're under 18, we have the tournament fo...

Rhys Benjamin

Matt, when you "made" AptoSOS, how did you recall all the played games?

Rhys Benjamin

Ian, if you could replay Jayne that would be helpful, but I will not say why.

I added the game to the system JUST after you played it

Rhys Benjamin

Sophie, do you EVER understand the meaning of jokes?

Rhys Benjamin

As soon as James plays his half, or it gets to Wednesday.

Rhys Benjamin

"Looking up words all day is fun but I don't get enough pay."

Rhys Benjamin

Graeme Cole v Niall Seymour or Martin Long
Adam Gillard v Oliver Garner
Karen Pearson or James Hall v Ryan Taylor
Matt Morrison v Jayne Wisniewski
Joseph Krol v Martyn Simpson
Milo McKenzie v Eoin Monaghan
Ian Volante v Kirk Bevins
Kai Laddiman v Matthew Tassier

Get playing!

I think you're still on GMT, Keith!(rather than BST)

They had GROOMED Joseph!

What words did DC Get in Round 6, as my TV gave up on me until the middle of round 7?

I have the subtitles on my TV - and since when did "Suzie Dent" exist?

Rhys Benjamin

Not exactly a beater or an equaller, but HORNIES in Round 3

Rhys Benjamin

Kick in the teeth for Damian there! I won't be surprised if Susie gets fired - it was probably wont to do.

Rhys Benjamin

James, Karen, since this is the last day, I will "let" you play the Tourney Owl, even though it's not ideal.

Rhys Benjamin

I've had a few goes at the first numbers game: 100, 75, 50, 25, 3, 2 -- 740 Got 744 in the time [(100+25+50+75-2)*3], 148*5 looks the most likely way of getting it, but I can't get that either. Anybody able to get it? No-one did I'm afraid. 741 is the best, as you'll see in the forthcoming Robinson...

Rhys Benjamin

I am in!

Great idea, Kai! When will the duel be, as I'm tight for time at the moment?

Rhys Benjamin

17 Jan is my mum's birthday.

Rhys Benjamin

So good you had to say it twice.

Rhys Benjamin

MONACO GRAND PRIX ANNIVERSARY! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!

Well, Jeff, there were more overtakes in Monaco last year than in Abu Dhabi!

Ah, thanks. Were you allowed only 2 vowels back then?

There was no limit, Thomas, until Series 30.

I stand by my guns.

Rhys Benjamin

So the teams still in are Torquay, Blackburn, Scunthorpe or Swindon, Bradford or Halesowen, Reading, Leicester, Bristol Rovers, Tottenham Hotspur, Hyde, Hereford, Derby, Notts County or Leyton Orient, Hull, Newcastle, Norwich and Preston.

Rhys Benjamin

Graham Hill is the champion. And no, you've not been whisked back to 1962 or 1968 because Graham Hill is the Countdown champion. Graham Hill was the 1962 and 1968 F1 Champion and died in a plane accident in 1970. His son Damon was World Champion in 1996. This recap is perhaps best read in the voice...

Rhys Benjamin

Guess!

Rhys Benjamin

The nuggets don't offer any Stickers and we have 2 of many sets, but the third is eluding us :roll: . We have had some other meals though but not everyone who lives with me has had 2 (including me - I think My Mum and my Brother have had 2 meals). We have 9 property stickers, Michael, excluding doub...

Rhys Benjamin

Yeah. The "10 to win Mini Coopers" mean that they make millions and millions of the other 2 properties and just 10 Bond Streets, I think. I went to McDonalds last night (with my family obv!) and despite getting some free Nuggets (

) we still got 3 Park Lanes.

Rhys Benjamin

2, according to FA Cup-ness

Rhys Benjamin

Mostly so we can fill in the wiki, I won't do M1.

Rhys Benjamin

I'll make a start on the Masters, starting from the first 10 in Series "M1".

Rhys Benjamin

The ability to block/unblock people from their userpage would be cool, so I don't have to wait for them to come online again.

Rhys Benjamin

My timer was set by me for 10 minutes too early - Sorry! Matt Morrison v Ian Dent Eoin Monaghan v Phil Collinge Kai Laddiman v Jamie French James Robinson v Martyn Simpson Thomas Cappleman v Adam Gillard Graeme Cole v Ned Pendleton Kirk Bevins v Edward McCullagh Niall Seymour v Martin Long Ben Wilso...

Rhys Benjamin

Ah. Minor modifications may be needed to that statement.

Rhys Benjamin

3rd numbers alt: 100 + (50 / 25) + 2

Rhys Benjamin

Just found out Paula's name. What a name!

Rhys Benjamin

So, the draw is today at 5. I will allow for some SMALL leeway/overrunning etc., but if lags behind too much I'll just give the place to the higher ranked person.

Please offer feedback on this tournament so far!

Rhys Benjamin

Is anyone just expecting a TB?

Whoops-spoke too soon!

Rhys Benjamin

Do you mind removing this out of announcements please?

Rhys Benjamin

Do you mind removing this out of announcements please?

Rhys Benjamin

Can't believe that DC missed TOUGHER.

A pack of seeds inside tomorrow's Daily Mail for those mail lovers!

Rhys Benjamin

WANKER as a Touch 6 in Round 2.
TANGELO by DC in Round 3

And James, since I'm feeling generous, I'll do today's wikicap - Have a day off!

Rhys Benjamin

SCHOOL'S OUT!

Rhys Benjamin

Just Go With It.

Rhys Benjamin

Why is this not a global announcement, Ben?

Rhys Benjamin

What happened to tomorrow, James? We break up early (more posting

) at 12:30 rather than the rather odd layout we have, which is from Monday to Thursday we finish at 4:00, and on Friday we finish at 3:20.
