I always think it's slightly poor form if someone gives a wrong answer that's nearly right and the presenter says something like "Ooh I'm afraid we can't allow that" (like what happened with the coundrum). Bob Wholenose used to always do that on Blockbusters. But can you imagine the uproa...

I realise I'm not comparing like with like here, but the principle is the same. A cheat is a cheat. And pretty much every footballer is a cheat. It's the way the game is, unfortunately. Do you want me to scour videos of Ireland's qualifying campaign pointing out occasions where an Irish player was ...

At the very least he should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute and given a two-year ban. I don't read this thread much but this is a great example of why victims should not be involved in sentencing. It's one thing to score like this in an everyday league match. In a game this high-pr...

Thierry Henry's career ended tonight. It did? Aw man, that's a shame. He'll miss the World Cup Finals that he just helped his country qualify for. At the very least he should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute and given a two-year ban. That might make others think twice about cheating...

Is that the first time Susie has acknowledged she gets help, or do I fast forward too much normally? And if so, should we assume everything else is her own work?

Pretty sure LAZYBONES has been on the show - I'm also thinking Ian Volante was a contestant at the time? Actually it was Aaron Webber , but 1 out of 2 isn't bad for a man of your seniority.

Had a slightly strange brain-fry in round 6 when I noticed a common prefix (OUT-), looked to see if there was anything to follow it, and thought, "Oh yeah - OUTSWAY for 7". Never occurred to me it might even be risky, and was surprised when the contestants declared 6s. I was about to post...

That's twice today I've been happy with a solution ( I got this one the same way as Rachel) only for you to point a much simpler way. Maybe playing too much Apterous means we tend to overcomplicate things sometimes?
