RICHARD PRIEST yields CHARITIES which came in very useful in the series 58 semi

(I have to give credit to my opponent on the day, Peter Davies, for suggesting that one

)

Cheers Jeff.If you're still planning another CoLei this year I may liaise with you to ensure that our events don't end up being too close together.

I attended a studio recording on Tuesday this week, her voice was a bit hoarse then.

Another alternative to 1st numbers - ((50/5) + 75 + 7 + 1) x 10

Richard Priest

My attendance will probably depend on whether I can combine it with a visit to friends in London or Brighton.Will see what I can do....

Bad luck Kevin.Enjoyable performances

Of course, Howard.As I say it's very much in the infancy at the moment.I'm just gauging opinion to see if people would go to Newcastle-u-Lyme, and if there is sufficient interest and I get the go-ahead to use the venue I have in mind then we'll look at a date that the majority are available for and ...

Richard Priest

Hi all, this is an idea that is very much in its infancy, but I'm wondering how many people would be interested in attending a Co event in Newcastle-under-Lyme? It's in Staffordshire, just so no-one thinks they'd need to go all the way up to Tyneside (and some people do confuse the 2). For those tra...

Thanks Julie! And a happy birthday to my twin George too

It takes a lot to highly irritate me, but the challenger's insistence on calling Jeff "sir" was making me scream out loud every time

Good job the upstairs neighbour's as deaf as a post.

Impressive stuff Heather, thought Chris was going to win a few.Keep it up.

Bad luck Craig, I know how it feels to fall just short of octochampdom :( The filming schedule certainly can make a difference.As has already been said, it depends what block you're in and how much of a break you get between shows.In my case I did my first 5 shows in the one day, finished filming at...

Please don't be insulted. I put about 2 seconds thought into it and it was meant to be a bit of a joke.

OK fair enough.

Richard Priest 100/1 :evil: :evil: :evil: Not normally a guy for arguments but I feel a bit insulted by this.Whilst I definitely wouldn't consider myself a front-runner, I reached the semis of last year's COMA and at CoLin recently finished ahead of 2 of the guys who've been given shorter odds than...

Great performance Craig, especially on the numbers.I take my hat off to you

Another fantastic event, thanks to Ben and his mum without whom it would not have happened, great to see familiar faces again and meet some new ones.Can't wait for the next one!

Richard Priest

What was the score? 81-75. Wow what a game.Nice to see the octochamp-in-waiting get a real run for his money as more often than not it's pretty much a walkover by the 8th game.Know how Oli must have been feeling, the pressure does build up as you edge closer to octochampdom and everyone's expecting...

Richard Priest

I've replayed it a few times and I thought Daphne said TOASTED for round 12 which would have been invalid as there was only one T.

Richard Priest

1st numbers - ((6 + 7) x 9) + 75.

DIAMINE, round 6.Totally outdone by SFUMATO and NUCLEON though.

Richard Priest

Oliver seems to be going for the Johnny Borrell look today. Maybe he'll ride off at the end of the show with Kirsten Dunst on the back of his motorbike. They've split up now though haven't they?Something to do with Kirsten being exasperated by Johnny's untidiness around the house IIRC. Great perfor...

Edit: Can I just add that I was very impressed with Jan's Round 14 solution. Nice one. Agreed, it was absolutely excellent, one of the best I've seen in a long time. WTP says it's the only solution and gives it a difficulty of 84% (very difficult) and IIRC most of the games with higher ratings tend...

Very sad.I remember him quite well.Awesome player.

I was sat next to Mike Brown in the audience and after the last letters round I said to him "1 large now, surely" so was a bit surprised, but as has previously been mentioned it may not have made for any easier a target. Felt really sorry for Innis but he took it on the chin.Fantastic batt...

AMATORY in round 12

Those of us who attended just for the afternoon session took our seats and saw the name Andrew Pollock in the challenger's chair, so when we then saw 2 women take the stage we were a little bemused

Charlie Reams makes an unexpected return to Countdown today, disguised as challenger Tom Curran. Fooled nobody. I thought it was Scott Mearns, having taken some kind of age-reducing serum. Unfortunately, it also seems to have sapped his Countdown ability (sorry, Tom). Yeah I was surprised how poorl...

Richard Priest

I was a bit surprised that when Anne declared a 'risky' word and Charlie a 'safe' one of the same length, Jeff went to Charlie for his word first when normally it's the 'risky' one that's asked for first (presumably to give Susie more time to check it).

Rich, don't you mean 8 - 5, since there isn't a 3 in the selection.

Does anyone fancy rooming with me and Dinos on the night of the 17th? Room cost would be £36.First come first served.
