Pencils are fast becoming the more sought after prize in Apterous. Talk about your latest pencils here.

I saw this word on the back of a taxi seat once and made a mental note of it for Apterous purposes.

Me too... I also got a pencil and got a word that caused me to miss a previous would-be max game.

I can't come but the site made me lol, which made up for my sadness.

As in it removes any invalid words you have noted just before it offers you the declarations - so you could only declare valid words.
Ah I see, sort of a halfway between junior and the full game.

When you're looking at a game recap and you click the << to see a previous game, it puts a 0 at the end of the url, resulting in the message "No such game or bad query. Probably a bug or summat."

Doesn't effect the >>.

I assumed the modern Taverner was more famous. Never heard of the old one.

My vote match is the Green Party, but I've researched their policies in fair depth and disagreed with loads of stuff. Next is Lib Dem then Labour. I'm voting Labour at the election as a classic 'keep the bad guys out' strategy. Plus the Lib Dems are trying to close down a school for refugees in my a...

Rachel's solution in the last round was ace. I never think of going above 1000.

Ben Hunter

'himborg' in round 1

'goldmines' as an invalid 9 in round 4.

I wouldn't put it past her getting it, it just reminded me of when Des O got that ace numbers solution and he pointed up and Carol saw her arse.

Ben Hunter

I liked Rachel's cheeky point upstairs.

I'll do the next one, I owe the bank money.

Ben Hunter

I'm a bit late to all this. Is it for money?

Ben Hunter

I heard Scott Gillies might get in on this series, if so there should be a fight on for the title. Not to mention Craig is making strides on Apterous. Should be good man.

Ben Hunter

This is a good thread.

I'd love him to become an octochamp. Come on Dave my son.

Will 'lesbigay' still be in?

Don't care, post what you want in sproilers threads. If I get bored of a post I'll skip to the next one, no fuss no muss.

90's boybands and goalscorers- literally my two favourite subjects. Why won't any of these fucking pussies choose one of them? They chose 'thriller novelists' the other day and I just turned the fucking telly off. Dude, you really know how to fight the man! I don't have a TV license so I guess that...

I could only think of Gerald Ford, who became PREZZ after watergate. What a lovely show. I like how they introduce the contestants by asking how they met each other, it makes a nice change from quiz show hosts asking contestants what their occupation is - the second most obnoxious first question eve...

Quite a lot of Jeffrey Burgin's points seem to be missing, did James Robertson hack the page?

I like reading about lesser known octochamps, you find classy games like this one http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_3800 - I miss old people on Countdown

Team Dent / Morrison / Brittain / Hunter took on two of the greats of the game in some team specials (everyone consented), here's how it went:

Us 102 - 101 Kirk
Us 84 - 118 Kirk
Us 106 - 99 Innis
Us 74 - 127 Innis
Us 92 - 70 Innis

Just wondered if you could put a cap on the length of words generated by the 'words using...' tab in Lexplorer? Or an option to cap it. Right now it prints too many words because it uses the hyperdictionary, and it stops at 100 words. It'd be nice to type in say a seven letter word and see all the e...

I don't get it, what does the team do once it's been formed? Just walk around in a gang doing stuff together?

Maybe he should take up drinking as an alternative to trying to pull girls.

I bet the needle of Charlie's excitometer is quivering in the red sector labelled 'overload'.

Jackson's not very nice. She described Craig as "the psycho". We like Craig here. Did she, where? Facebook. I still gave her a friend request though. Considering she'd taken abuse from her friends for "losing to a ginger", maybe I'll have more luck friending her than Ryan has :)...

Telephone jokes are boring. Dave was a frequent user of a payphone at a petrol station, and was greatly inconvenienced when it developed a fault. Repeated requests for repair brought only promises. After several days, he again contacted BT and told them not to worry. The phone was working again, ex...

Lessons should celebrate rather than denigrate Britain’s role through the ages, including the Empire. “Guilt about Britain’s past is misplaced.” http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/1149/carolg.jpg http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/8043/indianfamily.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/1149/carolg...

Thanks James.

Yeah and Queen Elizabeth II is our queen - doesn't mean we want her face on apterous when we're playing does it? I'd like an option to see the face of our Queen whilst playing Apterous. She would fill me with pride and hopefully improve my performance. Just sellotape a coin to the rim of your monit...
