Sounds about right! lol

Diane Allinson

Thanks Phil. I was purposely avoiding the spoilers page; i like to play along with the game.
Unfortunately I don't have any recording facility so am pretty reliant on the website, but that's helpful info for anyone else that might have. I hope they fix the website.

Diane Allinson

I just sent an enquiry form - just to let you know - i tried to send the form as a 'Programme Enquiry' but the 'Clear Form' and 'Submit Form' buttons disappear from the webpage when you choose that option, so i had to send it as 'Technical Enquiry'.

I've found a contact form for Catch-Up at
http://help.channel4.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/W ... LE=CONTACT
if a few of us send it they may be more likely to fix it?

Has anyone had problems watching Kirk's final game online on Channel 4 Catch-Up (Tues 17th March)? I watched the first 'half' but after the ads when the second 'half' was supposed to come on i just get a static ad page for Ch4 CU, and can't get past this at all. Such a shame because i have been watc...

Diane Allinson

OK you guys, thank you for your explanations, guess i'll have to concede that one - and invest in a new dictionary if i'm to be a true countdowner

Diane Allinson

I like Rachel, now I've got over the envy that the job could have been mine if I'd found this site earlier and realised Countdown were inviting applications. If that's true you should definitely send a photo to my email account. Or did you mean you're really good at the numbers? I will admit - Rach...

You know she's fed words, right? If that's the case, how come i got an 8-letter word yesterday (Thurs 19th Feb, R6, CASTANET) when the maximum DC got was a 7-letter word. 1: DC do not always spot the maximum available 2: CASTANET is invalid as it's not specified in the ODE (only CASTANETS). For som...

I like the new set, the blue colours are much easier on the eye than the previous pinks/purples, i never could get used to those, and although Carol's dress sense wasn't that great (sorry Carol if you're reading, still love you though!), i'm not sure what she could have worn that wouldn't have clash...

Hi, i've been away in Spain for 6 weeks with no Sky TV or internet, so missed all the final shows, i'd love to see Carol's tribute show. Does anyone know where i could see it?

Ah i see, thanks for explaining that Michael

hmmm, it is very odd, i'm sure it couldn't be anyone on this site, but could be someone who's a fan of the show, seen you on it so thinks you're away, heard you run this site, recognised the server is what you run this from, and either wants to join the site or has a conscience and doesn't want to ...

Diane Allinson

Does anyone remember: In the early days, did they always have the Octochamp rule? Or would i be right in thinking the champs stayed for however long it took for someone to beat them? The countdownwiki explains all! :) Thanks for answering and for the link Michael, but how strange: just after i aske...

Diane Allinson

OMG i didn't realise the water-sipping was analysed so much, god help me if i ever go on there :shock: . I get so nervous, and hot and bothered when doing anything like that, i would end up with such a dry mouth i wouldn't be able to speak, especially under studio lights. i would need GALLONS of wat...

Well done again Charlie, this was your 7th wasn't it? (sorry i've missed a couple this week, and only half-heard today's) not a great day for me today, half-concentration though but managed: R2 DISMAY (the only round i beat contestants on) R11 CEILINGS to equal Charlie yep got ERECTIONS too and just...

Diane Allinson

Shame on Channel 4 for bleeping it out. I wonder if they will on online and late night airings ? Would you dared have said it around Ann Widdecombe though, Charlie ?! Ann would have loved it, i think she's got a wicked sense of humour, sure she'd have made reference to some persons in politics :lol...

Diane Allinson

Thank you BTW Charlie

Diane Allinson

That's a shame you went through re-registering Steve, i did the same as you and registered with wrong username, Charlie very kindly just changed my username for me without re-registering

I would love to do PGCE, i used to run a Kumon maths after-school club. I've tried to get a placement in school to do PGCE but not had any joy yet, competition is so fierce up here.

Diane Allinson

I didn't do very well though, it was my first go at playing it on apterous, i'm much happier with pen and paper

Diane Allinson

He told me you are his son, as i had mentioned i used to teach maths, he said you are training to be a teacher

Diane Allinson

But if it's not gonna be me, i'd like to nominate Junaid, i thought his friendly rivalry with Carol was great to watch, his character and charm shone through there. Before seeing Junaid on the show, i did think the job should go to a woman, not to be sexist, but i think Carol has set a great example...

Diane Allinson

Shucks, i'm due a career change too, thought i'd found it

Diane Allinson

If Craig's in Stockton, and i'm in Middlesbrough, Thornaby's halfway between us.

By the way Kirk i had my first practice game on apterous on Friday night, your dad was a great help.

Diane Allinson

Damn, i only found this forum last week. As i did write to Countdown in July suggesting the idea, i thought at least they'd email me back to let me know when they decided to do a search.

Diane Allinson

Are you from Thornaby Kirk?

Diane Allinson

Ooh Damian, was this as a result of the email i sent to countdown on 31st July suggesting a 'Search for a Carol'? I did say i would like to apply if Countdown considered this (actually what i said was 'i'd like to be first on the list'), but didn't get told it was going to happen. Have applications ...

Diane Allinson

That's awful news Charlie, really sorry to hear that

Diane Allinson

Hi, hoping for a reply from Craig Beevers here i think - if my memory serves me right Craig, are you from Stockton? I live in Middlesbrough, are there any Countdown clubs up here in the North East?

Is anyone else here from my neck of the woods?

Is parador in the Concise Oxford Dictionary? It's not in my 1991 edition, do i need an updated one?
If it is, that means i beat the lovely Charlie today, sorry chick
