c4countdown

Hello Mo and welcome. How nice to see such a colourful - some may say eccentric - person join the forums. I am sure you will add a lot to discussions. You're too late, she's already said goodbye :facepalm: Oops yeah sorry, I hadn't visited the Apterous forum. What a shame, she seemed like quite a c...

John O'Neil got it first. You have 55.0 seconds left.

Am happy to cut and paste the chat dialogue in here, so those who are curious can see the full sequence of events. I readily offered an outstretched hand to Mo, but she obviously has no sense of humour at all. Next time maybe better to leave them waffling away to themselves in chat without paying t...

Because of the tenuous Star Trek link to James Doohan. maybe one of you wacky lyricists can come up with something from the tune of Star Trekking

Oops wrong forum

I see that Carol Vorderman is in the Daily Mirror today giving her fourpenceworth http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2009/06/09/carol-vorderman-adamant-she-never-cheated-on-countdown-over-ear-piece-claims-115875-21426806/ Apologies if this link does not work You would have thought that Rachel would...

Thanks for fixing it Charlie

In future I will PM you, rather than spending hours waiting for someone else to do it

Is it down or is it me? Here's the easy way to tell: http://www.apterous.org/browsegames.php If it is down, whens it due back? If it's scheduled downtime, there'll be a message on the site. If there's no message, it means I don't know about it, so you should email me (charlie@apterous.org) so I can...

What Charlie says is true about time averaging. What I'm worried about are people near the line who tend to go back and forth a lot; I don't want them trying to throw games to get under. (Edit: Not that I believe anybody really would, but it's the principle of the thing.) I'll use peak rating inste...

I will be regularly checking the "published" apterous rating list over the next two weeks and taking an average of those ratings to determine eligibility. The ratings already include averaging over time. You'd be better to either set a fixed date on which the ratings will be taken, or to ...

Brilliant idea Charlie I will treat myself to the upgrade when my rating gets back to 4 figures (before the ratings change)

I cannot think of any other stats to include apart from trivial ones like most darrens or most played opponent

I can't stand him.

Have to switch sound off when he spouts his rubbish. Almost enough to stop me watching Countdown; almost.

Is Richard Digence the Marmite man of Countdown?

Is Daffy Duck ' knocking one out' ?

I know this is trivial but do the DC guests get updated from time to time

If you are open to suggestions i recommend the meerkat from the advert. Just so he can say simples when an easy numbers solutions comes up.

hope its a big ring as it has lots of hats in it already

As there can only be a maximum of 10 contestants, what about having most of the audience made up of former octochamps and Apterites

With the amount of people interested in playing, how about either having a poll or some sort of tournament on apterous to win the right to play

Presumably Damien would have to agree to it

I think that it would be a good idea if challengers, who get beaten by a tiebreak conundrum, automatically get another chance in the next series

Does anybody else agree ?

I'd never in a million years write 'per cent' as two words. Plus I've never come across this one before; American words are allowed, but American spellings are not. So I suppose 'percent' is the American spelling of 'per cent' - it doesn't matter than 'per cent' is two words not one. But I'm amazed...

Looking forward to the COC I predict a Kirk Bevans v Jimmy Gough final Interestingly lots of people call the finals the COC when the COC (Champion of Champions) is actually a completely different competition. Also, how come so many people don't spell my surname correctly? Sorry Kirk for getting you...

I was impressed about the amount of tourament scrabble players in the audience

Having seen his performance on HIGNFY, what about having Rolf Harris on

Jason Larsen wrote:Marc, what do you think of Jeff and Rachel?

I think they are both brilliant

Jeff is probaby good enough to be a reasonable contestant with his word knowledge

Rachel is great with figures as well as having a great figure

Hi jason thanks for the welcome(you too ralph) I am from east London Started watching countdown from day 1 but stopped watching around the time Richard Whitely died due to work commitments Started watching again this year as I now have a laptop and can watch on 4OD if i am too busy at work Found out...

Hi I'm Marc
