Admission: £15, payable ...

Obviously a difficult situation, this. I think we should acknowledge that some events are more at risk than others, through factors such as their location (particularly, proximity to known threats), and the security at the venue itself. We have had some events this year where you have to be buzzed i...

Humankind purposely negligent from my run

Bradley Horrocks

I echo the positive sentiments about the conundrums. I do believe that there should be some advantage in being ahead going into the conundrum, in that there is a non-zero chance that neither player solves it, and in that case the person in the lead wins. I knew in some of my games on Saturday that t...

Nominate Todd. But failing that you're welcome to use mine.

Welcome to use mine if you like

Bradley making another appearance last night.

Bradley Horrocks

Wouldn't fancy dipping my hand into the bowel bag personally

Bradley Horrocks

It felt like Luke had to get that 6S to make a game of it but can certainly understand the slip up given the pressure! Two pro players, congrats to Ahmed for coming out on top.

Bradley Horrocks

Ah, that I did not know. No surprise it didn't make the edit then. Thank you

Bradley Horrocks

No R11 declarations? I had DOUGLAS.

Bradley Horrocks

A great game to round off a phenomenal week of Countdowning.

Bradley Horrocks

Even as someone who prefers numbers, I'd still say for a Goat event they are best left out. You could goatify the numbers somehow, but then it wouldn't be goatdown.

Bradley Horrocks

If it's good for those staying at the venue I think it's a no brainer.

Bradley Horrocks

Depends if you want to stick around to wait for the rest of us to finish I think! With an 11am start though I'd expect there to be enough time. However, my timekeeping had me 30 mins late to the Blackpool event, so take with a pinch of salt!

Bradley Horrocks

Travelodge rates are still reasonable (both of them), I've booked at The Hub.

The big question is, Linford Wood or Milton Keynes parkrun?

Bradley Horrocks

What a final, had everything! The slip up on R1, fantastic 9 and comeback from Matt. 2 great players, but congrats to Dan on winning the series. Remember you saying a few years ago you wanted to wait to apply until you had chance to improve and boy did it pay off!

Bradley Horrocks

It's still too early to say. This time last year, it looked like it would be Djokovic who would end up with the most. Djokovic certainly has another AO and Wimby in him, not sure if Nadal can muster another RG. Time is running out though, feels as if Alcaraz/Medvedev/Zverev are now capable of beatin...

Bradley Horrocks

COLIN gives me something to look forward to in the height of winter, and it would be sad to lose it. More importantly, organisers shouldn't have to run events making a financial loss. Most come for the games of Countdown and/or the social aspects, so it would be well worth in my view having less/che...

This is shaping up to be an exciting CO:parkrun championship season! Onto the next one: Manchester. What's the plan? Which parkrun?

I'll be back at CO events some time soon but I'm not tempted enough to travel the 9 million miles to Blackpool!

Great work Ollie! KJT must get a medal this time though, fingers crossed...

Bradley Horrocks

I'd argue that Djokovic's French Open win is his best slam achievement to date - beating the undisputed king of clay, who wasn't hampered by injury, and coming back from 2 sets down twice. The first to beat Nadal and win the title in RG in the same tournament. It's also hard to see Djokovic not comi...

All of which is a good argument without a vaccine and hence social distancing last summer, but with a vaccine what I am saying there is that it may be the case it doesn't stop you catching the virus, but equally doesn’t make you ill or kill you, then what is the point? You can’t lockdown the countr...

Look at New Zealand or Australia at the moment. Although Australia goes into full lockdown every time someone so much as coughs (no doubt doing untold damage to people's mental health and their economy, which is my argument all along - costs vs benefits of lockdown).

Commiserations Sam, a strong showing throughout and you've really come on since getting back into apto. Not a bad year for you with that and the new family addition! Luke - absolutely incredible.

I don’t foresee a return this year sadly, it doesn’t seem logical that 7 people can’t play netball indoors but 700 can parkrun, albeit outdoors. I suspect many events won’t feel comfortable returning or have the numbers for volunteering roles. I’ve struggled to go out and run more than once a week s...

Bradley Horrocks

Fair enough, I can see how it was meant now! Though when we refer to Elliott's 152, it's referred to as 'the record', so Andy was possibly overstating the importance of the record for the old format.

Bradley Horrocks

I'm not Jack's PR agent or anything but I know Jack well enough to know that he'd still go for it. It would be a farce otherwise, it's not a practice game on apterous, it's a record that would presumably have literally stood forever, bearing in mind the upcoming change in format 12 games into the n...

Congrats! See you at some co-event parkruns next year then

Similar story here, though it was a conscious ambition - WFH helped as much as running imo as I am far less tired generally.

Bradley Horrocks

Brilliant - shan't spoil the ending

I also seem to be better at guessing than I thought I was.
