On reflection, I've decided that I deserve about as much respect as the unnamed readers of the Personal Statement that accompanied your university applications. So if you can prove that contained swearwords, feel free to continue. I think that's a poor example, given that we wrote those knowing tha...

I was interrupted in the middle of a dream, which consisted of me watching a special on TV about the Eurovision Song Contest, which was on next.

Gyles recites an emotional poem about Frinedship by Hilare Belloc and presents Carol with a lovely bunch of flowers, which leaves her in floods of tears and the show ends there. Is it just me who thinks that when Carol started crying and turned to her right to say "look what you've done to me&...

John Evans

PS I haven't seen the final yet, but did they leave in the bit where Carol said that Mike is the greatest arithmetician in the history of the show? He pleaded otherwise but to be honest I think he'd have a pretty good claim to it. No, but they added in a bit about you being the worst arithmetician ...

You can have one guess. The context should make it quite easy.

I just feel that in a points-desperate situation, going for 6 small against a good player might give you, say, a 5% chance of beating them, whereas choosing 4 large is likely to give them a 100% chance of them getting it right (or as close as possible), which leaves the result of the round out of y...

John Evans

What's "offensive" about choosing 6 small against a guy who you've never beaten at 6 small in ten attempts? Agreed. 6 small would've been a disaster. The chance of you getting it and him not (assuming he wasn't wetting himself with nerves) were so small. Better to do anything different. P...

Hi all. I'm brand new to the forum, but having spent 4 fantastic days at the CoC, I'm now determined to give the countdown community a lot more of my time... Should be fun!

Not to disagree with you, but I think everyone who attended CoC would agree that Rachel is even prettier than the press photographs suggest, so reconsider your position in a few months' time :) For those who missed out: build up your expectations, on all fronts, as high as possible.

Junaid "Mike" Mubeen has summed it up well. It was a fantastic weekend++, and a real pleasure/privilege to experience. I can't imagine I'll be able to watch any standard series games again after the ridiculously high standard you've all shown. Time for me to start playing and getting on wi...
