I always mean to "remove some people at some point" (definitely not organised enough to call it a "cull", especially as I reminds me of how wanky it is when people announce they are going to do a cull before they do so - yawn) but yeah, laziness. My favourite facebook hobby is saying yes to Countdow...

Also you don't even have to remove the peeler from the surface of the potato to continue peeling.

I'd go so far as to say that if you do remove the peeler from the surface of the potato, you won't be able to continue peeling at all.

Great to see this is back, definitely in for this currently

More or less definitely than every other event held this year?

Matt Morrison

I don't think the "family and friends" option has been a thing for a year or two now. It's the other way round - when you're just sending money without it being tied to a third party transaction (e.g. eBay), the assumption is that it is (what was) for "friends and family" and you have to explicitly ...

Matt Morrison

nice work Tom!

What was Ned up to with his 2348? Who is Jake Thornhill?

Matt Morrison

Imagine thinking that Rachel had an extra curricular interest in you and it turns out that it's just Damian stalking you. Love it.

Matt Morrison

Also I would be tempted to put people who do name their kids after themselves in the people you shouldn't trust thread. It's not only narcissistic but shows a total lack of imagination. Good call, although sometimes it might be a "family tradition" rather than narcissism. Still fails on the total l...

Why do Jill and Jonathan get a star? How does one earn a star?
I was wondering too. Can't be the curry.

First two signups for Spin the Bottle in the afternoon break.

Put Jono and the Morricocks down for the curry too.

Whilst this is a hilarious joke, it has the potential to cause confusion and annoyance for the organisers, us, and for you.

Matt Morrison

People who sit next to you on a table seat when there are empty double seats nearby. This is fine. As a tall person, I want a table seat because I am more comfortable without having to have knees pressed into the seat in front. And of course there are plenty of other reasons to do with the actual t...

Matt Morrison

Ah fuck me. Really should have sorted out the hotel before it went crazy. Was £55 for Saturday night last time I looked. It's like the Lincoln Travelodge caught AIDS.

Matt Morrison

Ah yes, I did. That is why my name appears on the first post in this thread. Because I paid.

Matt Morrison · Re: CoBra (Essex) -- Saturday 2 November 2019 Did I pay?

The bad person in that scenario is Rachel Riley, unless he was bullying her personally.
If it was purely a block based in a difference of opinion, that's disappointing.

I think you're disappointing.

If either of you want, or don't want, to forgive me for being correct then that's fine, or not fine.

Matt Morrison

If you're talking someone describing themselves I believe the difference lies in eating vs the whole of life. However, if you're talking on a menu, then yeah generally they are used interchangeably although some places use a more literal version of plant-based - e.g. an Oreo is vegan, but it is not ...

Matt Morrison

I might as well do live music while I'm here. If you go to see a band live it's not as good as listening to their recorded music. Objectively, I agree. in terms of technique etc, it's never going to be as polished. But the energy of the musicians and the crowd, the show, the volume allowing the mus...

Gevin on the baking show (credit to Heather).

That made me chuckle more than it had any right to.

She possibly is, though I think she a) hates C4C and b) tries to avoid doing work outside of work. But I'll ask!

A family room for up to 4 people seems to cost £105 for both Friday and Saturday nights. Looking for 3 people to share with to bring costs down to just £26.25 per person. Let me know if interested.

You enquired as to what this room is made up of? Guessing a double and two singles.

Matt Morrison

Haha, ghreat.

Matt Morrison

There is definitely lots of interesting discussion to be had here. I think part of the reason that before/after makes such a big difference is because apterous (the real community rather than Countdown I think it's fair to say) is a real word-of-mouth thing. For nearly every example of someone who c...

Matt Morrison

Definitely shouldn't count. This is Countdowners you've met outside Countdown stuff, I think you'd consider family and friends to be family and friends before you categorise them as Countdowners. If that makes sense.

Matt Morrison

and how nice and friendly I am

Matt Morrison

Can't find the Facebook event, has it been done yet or am I just being stupid? Sure I saw something about the curry house at one point and wanted to check it out.

Matt Morrison

Fun reading through this. Absolutely bewildering that Mark Deeks used to think audience for Countdown recordings should count. Ridiculous. Also - Jen - can you expand on your inclusion of Paul Sinha? I think you have to spend time with him after the show for it to count, not just be in the audience ...

Conor Travers was on yesterday's Question Time at about 47:53.

Haha, that's really good. I was kind of tired when I watched that episode (side note, it really pissed me off, such cunts everywhere) and I knew I kind of recognised that guy's face from somewhere but couldn't place it. Great work.

Haven't really been paying attention to the Travelodge prices, has anyone else? £52 at the moment which seems highly reasonable.

People who call a PIN a "pin number".
Same people who refers to ATMs as ATM machine.

I like it. Especially the extra detail you've treated C4c to. Mostly I enjoy the thought of you pondering termagent and ptarmigan on your commute.

Part of the problem is probably the word "negative". That seems quite subjective when we're talking really about "tactical" picking. Any negativity can seemingly only be perceived by people other than the picker.

Unfortunate. I knew there'd be some form of Gevspergers in response to my post It's very rare for me to do anything like that. I feel misrepresented. I guess this was the "Edited". Gev still has some space to manoeuvre as you said "seen" instead of "scene". Unless this was part of the edit and you ...
