When I was living in Australia in 1995 I bumped into an old nursing tutor of mine (from UK) who had taught me in 1979. I thought that was a pretty amazing coinidence - but then I'm easily impressed.

Debbi Flack

Hear hear, a real treasure.

Debbi Flack

Finally gotten around to watching the final - awesome

Hard luck Charlie - you put up a great fight.
Well done Steve, you played brilliantly, and it was a pleasure (almost) to be beaten by such a champion

Ah, cute! (The piccies, not you Kai

Debbi Flack

Take care, thinking of you
Here's hoping you'll be pain free really soon

That's great Kirk, I'm already looking forward to your appearance(s). I hope you didn't bash your opponent(s) up too much! Ha - just wait till March and all will be revealed. Many thanks to all of you for your votes of confidence - they are very much appreciated. That's the first day of my jury dut...

Well, I guess it's a record of sorts

I still think Ian Hislop would be great

Sorry to hear this Jason, hope your fit and well again soon.

Good for you - I echo Kirk's senitments

I'm glad the explained the 'Tony back from the dead' storyline early, I was wondering how they'd do it.
I'm hooked already, it's the one programme I never ever miss.

Debbi Flack

If I live to be 1,000 I will never forgive myself for missing that first 9. It is one of my favourite 9 letter words and I missed it :oops: :cry: Still, as I said, I couldn't have lost to a nicer guy. I'll watch with interest what happens to him now, as I wasn't able to stay for the later games owin...

Debbi Flack

Couldn't agree more. It is an amazing site, and he does indeed deserve a medal (and time off, but only once he's taught someone else to run it

)

Don't worry, it happens all the time

Can I just say what a fantastic game Steven played today, Well done (and hard luck Debbie to come up against a machine). I must say I went home feeling very sorry for myself, but the man was on superb form - absolutely unstoppable. And he couldn't have been nicer about it. Still glad I went thought...

Debbi Flack

Not really

a/ it wouldnt be in the spirit of the game and
b/ if there was any dispute, Jeff or DC guest would double check anyway.

Debbi Flack

Thanks for the heads up - I'll try and make sure I watch it.

Today's (Thursday's) duel was friggin' awesome. More like that in future please. :) I will give today's duel a shot later on today, but when it comes to speed rounds, I myself prefer rounds of at least 10-15 seconds per round. I am probably the only one here, but I ain't that quick yet to be able f...

Some of you know I've been studying with the Open University for the past 8 years.
I found out this morning that I have passed my last module and have finally succeeding in obtaining my degree (Bsc in Health Studies).
It was a long time coming but worth every minute

Hear, hear. She was a lovely lady.

I'm after the formidable speed numbers 200 now - got the first 17 before getting stumped twice in one effort. Race you there Jim? :) It is done At the 20th attempt this morning no less. I'm not touching numbers again for a while. No less than five scores of 190 came in the same session, but persist...

Why does that mean you have to suspend Christmas?

So that I can enjoy my birthday as my birthday, not as the day before Christmas.

I did excrutiatingly badly (not that unusual in itself

) but it was nice to play a different version, and as someone else said, learn some new words

Sad news, indeed.

Entertaining as ever

Debbi Flack

I know I'm probably only there because others couldn't make it (and yes, maybe because I'm female), but nevertheless I'm just going to go and enjoy myself and do my best.

Debbi Flack

No, but I hope I never have to prove that

What is your favourite movie of all time?

Debbi Flack

Looking forward to meeting up with some familiar faces, and meeting some new ones.

(Oh yes, and getting my a**e royally kicked, but it'll be a great time anyway)

When I use 'soon' to my children I mean anything from 5 minutes to sometime before their 18th birthday!

No Jason, he isn't. American words are allowed (e.g diaper), but not American spellings (e.g. flavor, color etc).

Congratulations, Debbi! I think Fawlty Towers is fab, too. I have the boxed set of DVDs, as well as watching it on the TV first time round, too. Yes, I'm that old! ;) Never mind Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross. John Cleese was the original Sachs offender! :lol: My amateur dramatics group staged a c...

Just got my letter. I was successful at the audition and am now on the contestant shortlist. Very exciting

Well done Dinos, that's great. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

Than this is my 100th post!

Debbi Flack

As much as I admired him for giving it a go, I have to say he has made the right choice.

Debbi Flack

I've gotten to quite like the different duels. Often I don't do very well (that's a BIG understatement

) but it is quite a nice way of getting used to the different formats before playing a full game of them.

We watch it too - hilarious stuff!
The three of them are great together and it's one of the few programmes hubby and I enjoy watching together (Heroes and 24 are the others)
