David, I see you implied that you don't know the recording date of the finals. Well I thought you might be interested to know: 28th/29th April. Not that I'll be there :P Thanks very much, I got a compliments slip telling me late May, then I got one for April so I wasn't sure. It's a bit sooner that...

David O'Donnell

Classic "Kirkie". Just watched it, bad luck man but one dodgy round and you're dead on that show.

Assuming Stuart has indeed disregarded Matthew 5:39 and left us forever, I took my 16 year old daughter to hospital on Monday for a second ECG which will confirm whether or not the total lack of energy she has suffered for the last three months, destroying her GCSE year, is due, as suspected, to a ...

They said that one too, Conor. There was a winner today, aside from the numbers, but no-one has posted it.

Reams is my puppet, watch, I'll make him dance for you: Dance little monkey boy, dance mu ha ha ha.

What's that, Charlie? All of them must die and Corby goes first?

Okay, point taken. I wasn't aware that you had recapped before, Jonathan, I stand corrected.

David O'Donnell

Seriously, if you are looking for a moment in time for today's generation I think the 11-9 terrorist attack fits the bill. I can remember where I was. At the time I worked in a bank in Belfast and I was on my lunch break. I saw the second plane crash into the South tower of the World Trade centre on...

David O'Donnell

It was directed at Dinos but Dinos can't do it on Thursdays. I think we should wait until Thursday, I have a feeling that Stuart will probably do something pissy like post it on the mailing list only. I would like to see Corby recap though because 1. he is a funny bar steward and 2. he was been a re...

David O'Donnell

When I arse-rape Corby in an online game.

David O'Donnell

Speaking of hash smokers, maybe that's the reason for the new scrambles.

David O'Donnell

I can't remember the last time anyone asked for a rated game. Just before Co-Lin RB asked you for one when the three of us played a mini-tourney. It's just a game and then sometimes, as an afterthought, rated? Nobody gives a shit about their rating really. You declined the rated game because you ne...

David O'Donnell

There are no such things as accidents, that was a Freudian clit.

David O'Donnell

As a fellow victim of Corby I'd be delighted to give you a game, anytime: I need the bloomin' practice!

David O'Donnell

ROUTINERS and OESTRIN wouldn't be valid, bear in mind it's not the Shorter Oxford but the Oxford Edition Revised Second Edition that validates the words. The Shorter Oxford is a much bigger dictionary and there are going to be quite a few that are valid in it but not valid on the show. Nice equalise...

David O'Donnell

BIGNESS is fine. I had PANNOSE^ in one round and that turned out to be rubbish too.

I think I was thinking of MANNOSE.

David O'Donnell

No PEACIFY^ in the ODE, I better watch the rural Ulster dialect words

David O'Donnell

I will miss this one, out doing boring singleton things. Will someone please recap it for me?

David O'Donnell

Don't pretend like you don't know, you weren't so coy on Friday night.

Are you referring to our game which preceded this one?

Bugger!

David O'Donnell

Jim Bentley does Mondays. Mr Earl does Thursdays and we shall have to wait and see since he generally posts really quickly.

David O'Donnell

The best MAN won.

David O'Donnell

I am sure there will be no shortage of hosts but I will be online around that time and will volunteer my services.

David O'Donnell

I remember when I was 22, I had hair.

Happy birthday, lads.

David O'Donnell

Yes, sorry Jason. It is an absolute, bloody free-for-all. I saw that you were trying to type a message a few times. In fact we stayed up until around 3 am and I never did win a solitary game :oops: Actually, it was quite good to get my ass handed to me, it underlines the fact that I really need to s...

Of course! Jon likes an audience when he humiliates me.

David O'Donnell

Should be some time after 8, he needs to get the kids to bed.

Oh, in your Round 6 Jason, DEMEANOR and its anagram ENAMORED are American spellings and so are not valid.

It must be under an obscure entry. It's a dog, a type of mastiff.

David O'Donnell

It's no biggie, how could you have possibly known? I have to admit that word is a new one me too. Do you have msn, Jason? If so, why not come along and watch Jon Corby trounce me in an online game this evening. My email is d_odonnell24@hotmail.com, feel free to add it. If anyone is interested in onl...

David O'Donnell

It's just Jon's sense of humour. I would think he was a knob if I didn't already know that he can take it as well as dole it out. I suppose it's not really right to make this a Corby-Earl popularity contest. Stuart has been contributing recaps to this forum (and its predecessor) for yonks and I woul...

David O'Donnell

It's only an issue to you though, you tedious twat. That was me having a laugh :lol: We obviously just can't detect each other's humour. Well, I haven't found anything remotely funny in the responses I cited in my previous submission. In fact I have been upset by them. I have enjoyed being associat...

David O'Donnell

Hi David, No, Dave C didn't tell me to do this. Jason Cullen I feared as much. The recap authors are already pretty much decided. I do Tuesdays and Dave C does Fridays. I suppose the thinking is that if you let people do it randomly then there is more chance that there will be days with no recap ap...

Very probably!

Or, maybe, you'll choke like you always do. Choker

You know me so well.

David O'Donnell

There is an 8 in round 12. Just curious, Jason, but did Dave C tell you to do his recap?

David O'Donnell

It's only an issue to you though, you tedious twat. Why do you have to be so abusive? Why can't you just have a laugh, like I've been doing? I think you ought to apologise to me for being so rude. So, you are having a laugh and haven't really been critical of Des throughout his tenure? It would see...

David O'Donnell

Maybe it doesn't come through on the TV but Des was a great host when I was there. He was fairly chatty with everybody, great with the audience and an all round good bloke. Anybody who would waste their time counting the number of times Des says "okey-dokey" really needs to get a life. Bea...

Jason, I am sorry mate but that post I made doesn't even make sense to me. It looks like I came online after drinking all night with a few mates and it probably made sense at the time.

My 2am posts were somewhat legendary on the mailing list.

David O'Donnell

and GIAOURS, GOPURAS and RAGTOPS .... and probably a few more but I couldn't get a 7 though I did think that RAPTIOUS^ was a real word for an instant

David O'Donnell

Cut me some slack, it had been a while.

David O'Donnell

RELIEVOS was a nice 8 in the same round.

David O'Donnell

ARATION (neither is OTARINE, for those Scrabblers who are wondering what letters you can add to RATION as a root word) isn't in the ODE 2nd edition revised so therefore wouldn't be allowed; RETINOLS cannot be pluralised. Actually, it's a real pity RETINOL cannot be pluralised since you could then ha...

Tonight isn't good for me, going to a concert, so it will have to be Friday ... 'bout 8/9? We'll pretend I can't do tonight either due to doing something cool like going to a gig as well, as that sounds better than my life being dictated by my other half. Tomorrow it is then, I'll get online as soo...

David O'Donnell

Sorry Jason, I am afraid they are not permitted in the ODE. In fact the other two spoilers you have posted are not valid either. Nice to have you on the site btw, you came unstuck against a good 'un.

You're full of crap, Jason, nothing was gave away: why would you try to make a member of this forum feel bad about themselves? Shame on you!

David O'Donnell

I linked this one Dinos but you're not down as a recapper yet so I had to submit it as Adam Porter, sorry mate!

David O'Donnell

This recap wasn't on the Corral site, I have just linked it: I hope that's ok. Edit: Bugger, I have submitted it for Wednesday. The road to hell is paved with good intentions to be sure. I have now submitted it for Friday too so there is a duplicate. Wednesday's Countdown hasn't been linked so I may...

David O'Donnell

You said that last time too ... then you c**ted me

Edit: Can't play tonight anyway as I am off to the pub, later!

David O'Donnell

Nah, it's fine. I have to conquer my nemesis sometime.

David O'Donnell

Another good recap Dinos and Emma. Don't listen to Jim, edit it, make him look foolish, he likes it really.

David O'Donnell

LOL. Very nice, enjoyed the youtube clip.

Ahem, are you restricted to children's parties?
