There's a topic on it somewhere, but I can't be bothered to try and find it

Jimmy Gough

Strangest selection of letters I have ever seen.One round only contained five different letters,one treble and two doubles .In another round there was three Us.I don,t think I have ever seen three Us in the whole of a game before. Still it was nice to see the show again even though it seems weird w...

Jimmy Gough

Bart's also on the forum btw.

Jimmy Gough

I thought Corby was great, it's a shame I missed his series. Is a Corby-O'Donnell final possible? Cos if it is it could well be the best final ever

Jimmy Gough

Congrats Innis

Jimmy Gough

Well, I probably play the largest percentage of apterous games and from Monday I'll be back to playing my usual obsessive amount

Jimmy Gough

Does anyone know that episode of The Simpsons where Bart's at a new school for gifted kids and the teacher's waiting for them all to get the answer to what's on the black board? 'RDRR' = 'Har de har har'. Well, I feel like Bart - stoopid! You lot are WAY over my head. But I don't mind, you're blood...

Maybe? http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=20088

I can't even get in. After clicking Play on apterous.org I'm getting "Login failed: Java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect" I thought maybe it was cos I did as suggested and uninstalled Java Update 11, but maybe not? Will leave it until I get further word. If you click on ...

Jimmy Gough

When will it be back running Charlie?

Jimmy Gough

Similarly, I am all for the idea and it would be much appreciated if you do.

Jimmy Gough

I was thinking a really camp Hitler/Stalin or a really angry Ghandi or a really horny Mother Teresa, something along those lines might be quite funny (albeit quite offensive)

18th of February.

Jimmy Gough

Damn it sounds so good

I really wanna go but it is such a mission to get there. Like nearly 5 hours.

Jimmy Gough

I'd say DIDJERIDU would be the greatest spot ever.

Ha, I remember that. Mine's probably PARTRIDGE, RHATANIES or COMELIEST.

Looks like I'll be watching Dead Set then...

Or during Nazi Germany - FRISKY SS DONATIONS. Second one is so good.

Is nobody else going to ask then? No, then I will... Ian, any relation?
apparently 'susie dent' has a profile on this forum, so -separated relations finally met at last?

Second cousins, i do believe.

Jimmy Gough

Yeah I watched it. The smallest guy in the world was really small.

Jimmy Gough

By the way, David O'Donnell wins it on a crucial conundrum - FREEZABLE, being 4 points behind at the time.

Jimmy Gough

Good topic so I thought I'd bring it back. I can't think of anything good myself though.

Jimmy Gough

Alan Partridge.

They will be placed in the public domain in due course (Once Carol has typed them up...)

Great, thanks.

Looking at the summary, I did even better than i realised, missing just one max - AMOEBIC - which I've missed twice before! Wow I think this is actually my best ever game

Jimmy Gough

That is some pretty sly cheating then coz I'm pretty sure none of the top players cheat and I really didn't think anybody did.

Jimmy Gough

CAMOUFLAGE. Kind of weirdly I now remember that conundrum by CAMOULAGE.

Jimmy Gough

I remember Conor getting a little mention on the Friday/Sunday Night Project.

Jimmy Gough

David, you should've Ebayed the word lists - I'd actually have payed money for them

Jimmy Gough

My favourites are probably tzigane, fiacre and troika. I too like naartjies (artesian +j) but I've never spotted it. I've managed to get quantiser a couple of times and I suppose STERADIAN is quite an unusual common word. The conundrum GUACAMOLE seems to get me everytime though.

Jimmy Gough

1000 games!

Jimmy Gough

Just can't wait for the CoC and to go on the show myself

Jimmy Gough

Congratulations Kirk, a great win this month! :D It was great fun, but I was gutted that I missed some easy spots (eg. 31st missing 100+75+50+25+10+4). It was a great month nevertheless. Thanks very much, Kai. It's going well atm for me - I just need to keep up the practice and keep up the memorisa...

Messed up both of the numbers and couldn't get the conundrum but I still beat prime at speedgoat!!!
Now who else can say they've done that?

Jimmy Gough

It's a pity I can't actually have an automated countdown in my signature, so people know the exact time left in the competition :lol:. I'm not sure if I'm with the majority (I may start a poll) but I think signatures are annoying and unnecessary. Why not just change your settings so you don't have ...

Jason is right.

Jimmy Gough

Argh, arguing. :( Not wishing to make myself unpopular (or 'more' unpopular as I already have at least one foe who's vocalised the fact) but I find a lot of the way people treat each other in here quite unfriendly and uncalled for. I accept that we're all different and express ourselves and differe...

If you were in a building held by terrorists and you had to kill somebody or the terrorists would kill 5 other people, what would you do? If you saw a train hurtling towards a group of children on a railway line, oblivious to this, and the train was unable to stop but you had the option to switch th...

Jimmy Gough

I was thinking "Kirk-killer coin"

Jimmy Gough

Or a sex change. I wonder if they've ever had a transsexual on countdown. I'd guess not.

Jimmy Gough

In your FACE Rosemary Roberts. YES! I am the greatest. Well done to Callum - a surprise winner I think. Odd the words which were and weren't chosen.... do you think there's really a skill to it?

I dunno if this was a joke but I think everyone would agree you were one of the most likeable contestants in last series and the funniest as well.

I'd just call myself kinda socially retarded and quite unsociable. I dunno I'd probably be in that place between autistic and "normal". But I agree with what Jon Corby said, you shouldn't like somebody just because they've got aspergers - Jeffery Hansford was a dickface. I don't see how yo...

Jimmy Gough

yeah, sorry, just sent it.

I predict that most people will have thought that people would've thought not to go for the obvious ones and so decided to go for the obvious ones themselves and exactly the same thing will happen as before and Kirk will win.

Jimmy Gough

An hour late....hopefully that won't matter

Jimmy Gough

A funny one that most of you would've probably come across before: MOTHER IN LAW is WOMAN HITLER

Jimmy Gough

Yeah, I found father christmas hilarious too, i was so totally rotflmao

Jimmy Gough

I think you should get an item just for beating Kirk.

Jimmy Gough

A second idea: with your stats you have your most commonly missed word(s) and also conundrum(s). That way you're a lot less likely to miss them again.

Jimmy Gough

How about a list of say the 200 most common 9 letter words and then put them into a conundrum attack thingy so I would never have to miss any easy 9s!

Jimmy Gough

If I played constantly from now until the 5th of january I probably wouldn't be able to beat it.

Jimmy Gough

I have no bugs to report. Everything is working perfectly thank you.

A couple of crackers against Innis put me right in my place. I must've lost 150 points. Not quite a 700 player yet! http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=16592 http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=16593 the first one is probably the best game I've played.
