I wear what my partner lovingly calls 'Night Knickers

This is wonderful. Gevin would like a photo for clarification.

Matt Morrison

Maybe the tattoo question should have its own thread because in the last twenty years or so it's becoming quite common Agree with Gevin it's not a good suggestion for this thread. Hang your head in shame. But then raise your head again because this is a great new thread. I bet there are some intere...

No wallet , although I do keep my credit / debit cards etc in a tin.

This made me chuckle since the word "although" doesn't work at all here.

Matt Morrison

Pizza cutter? Ridiculous suggestion. I think this was a really good suggestion, and I daresay nearly everyone here has a pizza wheel or a dedicated pizza cutter in a different geometric shape. You're the dick here. Not got a microwave though. Not a bad shout. Though I still think not as ubiquitous ...

Can highly recommend slippers, even though I only ever seem to wear mine when I go for a sleepover (cute) at my mate's house who has a dirty "outside-y" floor. They are super cool. I usually sleep with my tits and bits on display but I do have a pair of loungewear-type shorts and (separate) t-shirt ...

Matt Morrison

Thought you meant Ashwin Shah for a minute.

Matt Morrison

Now, come on. Have you or have you just been Googling people off of Countdown's names?

Matt Morrison

The Dripping Pan is a fucking horrible name for anything other than things I don't like.

No, but I'd call it tig.

Matt Morrison

Also managed to spot the fuck up I made adding the fixtures on apterous before Zarte spotted it for me, so that's good.

Previously: Announcement | Qualifying Player/Team Assignations Sorry for the fact that this is taking fucking ages, but hey, at least what with starting way after the World Cup Proper finished it doesn't feel like we're working to a particular deadline (other than 2022, perhaps)... We finally have ...

Matt Morrison

Haha that's a great story.

Matt Morrison

See, Mark's a good guy. And yes Gevin I guess it's fair to differentiate "swimming" and "being in the water", which I think both Mark and I have alluded to. I like them both but being in and around water is the best part for sure. I understand why you didn't get this at first as there is no way to h...

Matt Morrison

I just cannot agree with you at all Gevin. That's all I have time to say right now, but I'm hoping to find modern C4C-ers agree with me more than with you and do the work for me.

Matt Morrison

Seems to be this: viewtopic.php?p=2 (IDs 0 and 1 no longer exist)

Matt Morrison

Any update here?

Matt Morrison

Criminal Prosecution. It means Jason is posting to us from prison. Consider it a trial run for the next lot of posts from Richard Brittain. Wow. I like swimming by the way. I used to be pretty good (I remember doing 50 lengths for a BHF sponsored swim when I was young enough that 50 lengths was dec...

Matt Morrison

Yeah Graeme at his best.

Matt Morrison

Great shout. Forgot to update this. I've hit 11 then! Truly wonderful.

Matt Morrison

Haha, not necessarily the response I expected, but that's for the best.
This thread is already a car crash, no need to rubberneck.

Glad to hear it's going well (as obviously it would).

Matt Morrison

You know you done fucked up when you make Graeme swear.

Matt Morrison

Totally agree you cannot have more than one group per table. I'm far from the most ADD around, but I found that really distracting/annoying/frustrating at Colon.

Matt Morrison

Basically, no-one wants to play more than six games I do. Irritates me how long people give for lunch breaks. Less wandering around, more Countdown. Or make the whole event shorter. The pub's for chilling, the Countdown tournament is for playing Countdown. I'm up for making events shorter. I don't ...

Matt Morrison

Great tips. Great idea for a thread too. I think there's a small part of all of us that is tempted to host an event, though I imagine that is almost exclusively due to either "I know this cool venue/place to go afterwards that everyone would love" or "I would love to proudly show Countdown people ho...

Matt Morrison

Am I the only one who can take a shit and then after I have wiped and washed my hands, can then immediately take a piss. This was discussed a while back I believe. In the "men who sit down to wee" thread possibly, or one of the other similar threads at the time. I do this from time to time, and I b...

Matt Morrison

Didn't think you were gonna accept the faceless :( I won't. They signed up agreeing to the rules, so I'll give them a chance to provide a picture. They don't have to have one on apterous (as I can't grab them from apterous anyway). But yeah, I expect I'll have to do some shitty eliminating and rein...

Matt Morrison

Did something change in Pro Ranks by the way Gevin?

Checked last year's and Heather had a pro rank of 545th.
This year there are 8 people unranked entirely (lowest ranked player is 183rd).

Matt Morrison

Previously: Announcement The 16 top-ranked entrants are in the main competition. The rest of us lowly 32 will qualify or return to local competition by way of double elimination action. The first round of randomly-drawn 16 fixtures is now in the system, so play away! https://www.apterous.org/to_tou...

Matt Morrison

I've just done the top 16 via Pro Ranks, like we did last time. As before, it has thrown up some ridiculousness with massive names like Ben, Graeme, Ryan and Gevin not currently ranked due to inactivity. This crudely formatted list shows the top 16 entrants based on pro ranks, numbers at the end bei...

Matt Morrison

Ok, got my 48 signups. Even though I'm pretty sceptical about some of the faceless amongst them. Let's hope they all get knocked out in qualifying.

Matt Morrison

Apropos of not much, has Colin ever been held in Lincoln rather than Hykeham?

Matt Morrison

Ah, Wimborne.

[...]it requires a basket to play. There's no jumpers for goalposts equivalent for basketball.

One of the most important and biggest differences. Especially when we're talking about impressionable young kids.

Matt Morrison

I can tell you why I love football. It's the goals. There's no feeling like when your team scores a great goal, or winning goal. Every football fan can relate to this. For me the greatest goal was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's last minute winner in the 1999 Champions League final. Other goals that stand o...

One of mine would have had her 30th birthday today, good timing Gevin!

Matt Morrison

Three for me. All of them taken way too young and in three different but consistently sad circumstances.

Matt Morrison

Qualifying will be set up, announced and begin around 14th/15th August kind of time.
Only 35 signups so far, so hoping we can get closer to the 48 of last time... come on!

I had a couple last night I think actually. All a bit vague, but I seem to remember Moose winning a game at a CO-event to much applause and over-reaction, including Moose shouting out his own name.

If I understand correctly, it's people like you who ruined CoC.

BA (pass only) Maths - subsequently paid fee to register as MA.
Oxford/Cambridge? Or does anywhere else do this?

I don't know anything about this, but it reads like "I got a BA and then I paid to upgrade it to an MA without doing any work". Is that what is meant? Is this common?

Goodness me I posted this weeks ago and thought it was another turkey. I mean, it was a shit idea but people ran with it so you saved face. It's not a shit idea, it just tends to be a bit played out as most people will have seen this kind of thing somewhere before. Any non-Countdown suggestions sho...

It's later than the real World Cup this time, but this is still fucking happening! 32 players. Obviously. One per team in the real thing. However, the tournament is most definitely open to all - we'll just run a qualifying round as before to whittle down to 32. Last time we had 48 entrants, of whic...
