Good luck with the move. Hope it’s a happy new home.
Thank you :) I've messaged Martin but don't think he's seen it yet.

I'm not entirely happy about selling but it's just not feasible for me to keep them. I just have no idea where to advertise them at all.

Selling the OED

Hi everyone I am moving house soon and am going to struggle to fit the dictionaries that I won from the show in my new place. Does anyone have any experience of selling the ones they won or know where I would even begin to look for buyers? They are still in the original wrapping and in excellent con...

Re: Spoilers for Friday 28th June 2019 (S80, Grand Final!)

Only managed to see this final yesterday but have to say "wow" what a game. Could sense the pressure Elliot was feeling and wasn't easy to watch a couple of times when it seemed to be getting to him. Dinos played, as always, with a smile on his face and taking punts on risky words which is...

Great game again from both players, the early 9 letter made it hard for Jonathan but were both brilliant til the end.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 21st December 2018 (Series 79, Grand Final)

Thank you everybody and if Martin is reading thank you for a great game and I'm sorry I didn't thank you on the show at the end, its no excuse but I was genuinely shocked to have won and lost my head for a while

Re: Spoilers for Friday 14th December 2018 (Series 79, QF 2)

Thank you for the kind words and I honestly was only joking about the nickname, was very nervous on the day (didn't want to go out and miss the final recording day) and I've had a couple of friends asking why I look so serious or if I wasn't allowed to smile 😀 Adam was a great bloke and Dan in DC wa...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 13th December 2018 (Series 79, QF 1)

Before I get on with the review, I do have to mention this: Not crediting Robin Johnson for qualifying and being unable to make it plus claiming that Bob is naturally the #8 seed irked me. :? (P.S. To those on the Daily Chat, sorry for asking the spoiler above during the Anecdote as I crashed in la...
