Re: No More Studio Audience at Countdown Post Covid

I can understand it. It probably makes financial sense, and it probably helps time-wise on what are long days of filming. It's sad, though, met friends through people being in the audience and that won't happen for others going forward.

Re: Politics in General

(TW: No specific incidents are discussed, just general discussion about upsetting topics) Gevin, what is wrong with you? Why, at a time when women see their worst fears played out on national news and are being forced to relive all the traumatic instances of sexual harassment and violence that they ...

Re: Politics in General

I voted "No" on gay marriage Just to slightly deviate from the topic at hand, might one enquire why you voted "no"? No problem. I was ashamed that same sex marriage was being pushed for, that it made its way onto the political agenda, and very disappointed that many gay people w...

Re: COVID-19 Coronavirus Thread

I am sick and tired of the BBC and Sky telling us we need longer and harder lockdown. Lockdowns should be a last resort, and if you don’t think so then you really don’t understand how much we are suffering. Perhaps journalists, WHO ARE EXEMPT FROM LOCKDOWN, shouldn’t be celebrating with glee like B...

Re: ...and that's ZoomDown

Well done, Eoin, for your brave stand against the left-wing mafia that have infiltrated Zoomdown in order to not say words that are homophones of racially offensive words. I hear that Comrades Todd, Titcombe, and Whibley are planning to go a step further during the finals. They want to replace the Z...

Re: You've just been made producer of Countdown...

This show is too white. Hold on a sec. This is the sort of racism that people are cool with, right? It's hard to keep up. You and Gevin are being completely ridiculous. It is not racism to say that the show is too white. There is no Countdown gene in the DNA of white men that automatically makes th...

Re: In the current climate

In your posts, you have railed against the 'so-called' demonisation of Alastair Stewart and others because of how their 'innocent' words and actions have been misconstrued by members of the public. Therefore, I find it ironic at best, and quite sinister at worst, that you have chosen to completely m...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 12th December 2019 (Series 81, QF1)

Great game. Shame he missed the 8s in round 11 for the record score though! Cheers! I did write SAILINGS down, but I wouldn't necessarily say that going for it meant I would have got the record. Once I got the 3rd nine, I tensed up as I knew the record was on. Hence why I missed SITUATED the round ...

Re: Series 81 Finals Predictions (With Poll)

I don't think it's a spoiler to say that at the very beginning of the first QF Nick addresses that Corrina is the first ever octochamp to not qualify for the series finals. Addressing it at the start is, I think, the show's way of saying 'commiserations Corrina, you're desperately unlucky but won't ...

Re: Co:LeedsLeedsLeeds - Saturday 21st April 2018

Didn't realise there were engineering works between Manchester and Leeds until this morning. Therefore, I won't be getting to Leeds until 10:45. Will try to get to the venue asap. I'm really sorry!
