Looking to cap Sheffield at 42 as I've told the venue to expect around 40. Now at 35 with 1/2 who've messaged with intentions. If anyone's told you they're coming and they haven't signed up yet please give them a nudge π . If we get a few more through the cracks like Reading and get to 45/48 it'll b...

My Dad was trying to test out his new car boot oven in Sainsbury's carpark by cooking some chips, but they didn't come out great so we decided to go out for dinner instead.

Robbo shows me a picture of him, Mark and Tracey stood in a river (or lake or something) with a big wooden crank wheel thingy in the middle. Then o...

However it took me 18 rounds to realise Charlie hadn't programmed it correctly and you could just declare any song lyric, regardless of the 9 letters you were given. But then I struggled to remember ...

Re: CANCELLED. CO:York - Countdown in York 2020 - 18th April 2020
Morning everyone, I've had an email back from the venue, and I'm afraid to announce that this event is indeed going to be cancelled. My utmost apologies to everyone who had cancelled other plans in order to come, and to those who have paid for transport and hotels. Once I get the booking refunded, y...
