Re: CO:parkrun Recaps
I'm a poor/terrible apterous player who appeared on countdown once last year and lost. My running ability is slightly better and I could even be classed as "mediocre". Can I be added to the lower mid table area of that list with my PB of 22:43? http://www.parkrun.org.uk/york/results/athlet...

Re: Patricia Pay RIP
As I said at the time my episode against her was broadcast, I found her to be a very pleasant and warm person and really enjoyed meeting her. She was a very intelligent lady and a credit to herself in how fiercely competitive she was despite her illness.
RIP- Condolences to her family.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday September 24th 2014 (S71 P52)
Enjoyed your run Paul, congratulations on 6 wins, you've not really had any gimme's with opponents. I couldn't quite grasp before going on the show just how hard work a run of wins must be. 7 (and then 8) good games of countdown in a row is very difficult, there are some folk who make it look very e...

Tricia didn't seem quite on her usual form today, but it was still a solid performance, and one that Dave can be pleased with keeping close to. Congrats to Tricia on an excellent run - if she brings her A-game to the finals, she could pose a threat to absolutely anyone. Thank you Innis. You posted ...

PHEW! That wasn't too bad, wish I'd been sat in the champions chair to disguise the bald spot a bit though! R3 I fudged, took a while to get it so my writing down was awful and ended with 975+1 but carelessly said 975 where I had 976. Would be my main advice for any apterous players going on CD, pra...

Re: You Are The Ref
I'd be interested in opinions on this, perhaps it's along the lines of the debate centring around the numbers in the last game... 10/ Early in the game and C1 is playing a nervous C2. C1 is asked to declare by Nick and takes a notably long pause before slowly and unsurely saying "I'll try a ris...

North Korea named an outfield player as their third choice keeper last time out and quickly changed their minds when FIFA told them he'd only be allowed to play in goal. Really pleased with England's squad. Lampard offers some experience in a young squad and it's not like we've got a wealth of talen...

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates here
The first episode of the Dave Nicholson countdown experience will be aired on 7th August (I think). Will it be the start of a recordbreaking Octorun? Will I burst into tears with everyone looking at me and score no points? Will something else happen?
Who knows?

I am the last slot on the 24th! So Jason I'll just miss playing you, even if you become an Octochamp, but I might meet you on the Friday if you last out the whole day (I won't tell anyone!)

From experience, how long do they normally take to let you know if you got through an audition? I just had mine, played solidly mostly but had one fantastic round (beat 8 others in the room) and one mare (1 off a reasonably simple numbers) so I'm not sure either way at all.
