Hello and welcome to another Friday recap, some of you may recognise John Payne from Series 71 where he lost his only game to future Octo-Champ George Ford who went on to lose his semi-final to the eventual series champion Dan McColm who was the first person to bag a max game in the new 15R era ......

Re: Is Apterous down? [COMMENTING HERE WILL ... Yeah, we know]

I know this has nothing to do with apterous, It might be worth mentioning that the Countdown database needs updating to series 91 and 92, If I knew where to start I would happy to help Charlie out so that it eases the pressure off him and takes weight off his shoulders so that he concentrate on apte...

Re: What Makes a Good Countdown Presenter?

A presenter that doesn't talk down to you AND is rude to the contestants and guests It'll be hard to find someone who doesn't talk down, yet IS rude to contestants and guests. You almost had your dream host in Ann Robinson, but she was rarely rude to guests - just contestants. Yes she was rude to t...

Re: Is Apterous down? [COMMENTING HERE WILL ... Yeah, we know]

Point one - all apterites are intelligent and respectful - comments like that aren’t appreciated. If you want to future proof apterous, then ok, here’s how I’d go about it. 1. Should he request it, Charlie will ask for help to run apterous but he has done an amazing job. 2. As I say, closing aptero...

Re: Is Apterous down? [COMMENTING HERE WILL ... Yeah, we know]

A discussion of what Charlie should do with Apterous probably won't be that fruitful without Charlie's involvement. But since we're here, I don't think higher prices will help. It's unlikely to be a money thing. It's just down to priorities people have at different stages of their life, and Apterou...

CDB seems to be having problems when I am doing recaps and you use the other words option ,it gives the message Oops, it broke. So when you enter other words by copying and pasting off other games it is laborious and very time conusuming, I am wondering if Charlie is updating CDB ? CDB uses the apt...

Re: Is Apterous down? [COMMENTING HERE WILL ... Yeah, we know]

My points 1. Charlie does a fantastic job 2. The site does not need closing - a ridiculous sentiment 3. If Charlie decides that he needs help, that’s his prerogative 4. £23 to use a site like apterous represents fantastic value 5. Being busy does not make you an antisocial prick Good night Well sai...
