I liked the colourful jumpers that Gyles always wore and also the ties that Richard Whiteley used to wear.

Quite agree Jospeh - They were both really good together. Happy days!

For me, John Sergeant is among the worst - He didnt have a clue what was going on.

The jury is out on Jo Brand and Richard Digance depending on my mood.

My favourite DC guest of all time is Ricahrd Stilgoe - a brilliant wit!

I know he is controversial but I did like Gyles Brandreth and would like to see him more often.

Of the current guests I like Phil Hammond the most. I usually fast forward through the others.

Pe-ortsmuff!! (that's Portsmouth to you non-pomponians!) Make that Pompey x 2 - I Have always live in the Portsmouth district and used to watch them when I was younger. Don't watch these days but take an inetrest in their results - especially the FA Cup this year! The first major trophy they have w...

I honestly thought someone might've wanted to alternate

Jospeh - I would be happy to alternate on Fridays with you - If that's ok, you can pm me or email me at aagharmer@hotmail dot co dot uk.

Cheers - Allan

5 vowels is good. The objective is to beat your opponent, not to get the longest word possible. Good shout. I agree if the game is close and you have the edge on word power - In this instance the game was already in the bag long ago and record scores were looming - was it the wisest choice to almos...

by Kevin Thurlow on Fri Oct 17, 2008 8:08 am Magic 105.4 announced at 0730 that Alexander Armstrong is the new host. No idea if it's true! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/3213200/Alexander-Armstrong-accepted-job-as-new-Countdown-host.html This is in the paper today - so it ...

We had our car nicked with all our holiday luggage, once so I appreciate what it feels like.

So sorry to hear about his Charlie - I hope they find them and string them up by the ***** OOps! sounding like Ann Widdicombe.

Well done today Charlie - You were truely awsome matey. Well done!

Allan

Welcome to all the newcomers turning up in (relative) droves - It is good to see so many like-minded people joining the forum, both young and older alike.

Good to see that Charlie has done such a good PR job, ably assisted by Des and Carol!

Allan

Welcome to Ben and Junaid.

You guys have given us great entertainment over the last few weeks and good luck to you both in the Finals.

Also, welcome to the other newcomers.

I hope you all enjoy the site as well as I do.

Allan

Well done Charlie. A great debut performance.

I was pleased to beat you to the Conundrum, which was some consolation after TREENAIL and OPIATED had stuffed me!

Good luck for tomorrow.

Maths Le Tissier? To sum up, and without wishing to take away anything from Maths Le Tissier, I think his appointment might divide opinion. However, his selection would certainly add interest, and could easily multiply the number of football fans tuning in. And he would be handy if it goes to a pen...

Just to put my 5 eggs in I appear next Tuesday

I'm not really a football fan nowadays - I got over that about 20 odd years ago before the money men took over. I couldn't even be arsed to watch the frst Cup Final Pompey have reached (and won) in my lifteime! However, I did record it and watched it later after I knew the result. However, Jeff Stel...

Well done! Kai - The magic hundred caps off a great run and a very worthy Octochamp.

Good luck in the Grand Finals when you get to play with the big boys and girls!

Al.

Now that I think about it, you haven't introduced yourself either! Please tell us about yourself! Oops! You're right Jason. Hello everybody. Sorry I haven't introduced myself earlier. My name is Allan and I wasn't sure about when to make my introduction, as I am in limbo as regards to appearing on ...

What a roller-coaster!

I also missed the 9 but managed to get the last numbers and the Conundrum by about half a second to get up on the line. Phew!

He continues to be extremely impressive under pressure.

A warm welcome to Micheel and Simon.

I agree Kai has improved in leaps and bounds - I beat him the first two days but it has gone downhill since then

Good lad!

No one has mentioned that Kai is a very unusual boy's name in the UK.

The only one I have ever heard of before is Kai (or Kay) in the Hans Kristian Andersen tale and the 2002 film version.
p.s. I played a woodpigeon in a 1964 junior school production of it

Anyone know of any others?

Al

Welcome to the site Roko.

Countdown is a great experience - you should do it as you are certainly good enough!

Has anyone seen this - Looks like we may have an 11 year old Octochamp coming up Lucky Debbi and Junaid - lol

I also got insulter to equal DC

I read in The Saturday Mail that Alexander Armstrong is now favourite to replace Des as the new host as a result of Rory Bremner and Michael Palin turning down offers of the job. He was in my list as a DC guest so he certainly gets an endorsement from me. He was very good on 'Have I Got News For You...

I just watched a recording of this show on my return from a week working away in Brussels. Well done Junaid - His word play was good but strength is clearly on numbers and speed of the conundrum - With his confidence up he is obviously Octochamp potential. I managed to get tensions, coteries, intrig...

Looks like I struck a raw nerve there!

I must admit that the sketch where they took off the Dragons Den last week made me and my son cry with laughter, following on from Paul Whitehouse having a go at each of the football team in their own language.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I watched it too. What a load of old toss that show is. I thought I was going to puke when yesterday's contestant started to trot out all his sob stories. Noel Edmonds can fuck right off as well, the small-bearded twat. [/quote] Chuckles - I must agree - And I also despise the gre...

Hi - This is my first post

I managed to get serenade in the first round and managed to get the conundrum on sight.

Well done Debbi - a very good contestant. I can understand that she probably got tired towards the end of the day as the recording is very intense and mentally draining.

Allan.
