I would have liked to hold off replying and see how long these comedian guesses went on for but I don't want to waste anyone's time (since we're wasting enough playing guessing games on a Countdown forum).

In a sense, yes. Probably misleading to concentrate on his writing.

And I'd love for Stephen Hawking to have been buying milk and cheese from a Tesco in Sheffield.

Jim yes.
Ryan no.

Milk and cheese yes. It was a small milk though, and a posh cheese.

Andrew Wilson wrote:Would you?

Nah.

No

Yes, tomorrow.

Yes (correct guesses in the shopping basket: 0/4)

PS I'm about to go to work so you'll have to devise a clever system of narrowing it down.

Ben Hunter

Guess who I saw shopping at my local Tesco two years ago.

Bonus points for the correct identification of any items in his or her shopping basket.

I'm really disappointed in the general opinion that a lot of people have about the intervention. Comparisons to Iraq are flying around everywhere, probably as a result of people not following the news properly over the last few weeks. This ignorance not only undermines the protests that were carried...

I like the episode where Rastamouse and his friends intimdate and beat up the gay mice.

A classic.

If Michelle was slightly better at the numbers she'd be dead-cert octochamp material I reckon. Great letters spotter, and still potentially an octochamp.

Marijuana can be grown in most environments where there are people with such ease and abundance as to make it virtually valueless and thus untaxable which is why I fear it is the real reason behind it's illegality.

You're sounding more and more like Richard Brittain each day. Maybe you should think about that.

Everyone knows Ryan Taylor is a genuine racist masquerading as an ironic comedy racist.

Unless I missed it, I don't think anyone has mentioned the trafficking, gang wars and other problems that are caused by drugs being illegal. I think this is much worse than any health problems that legalisation would cause. Aside from the more well known atrocities commited in Columbia and Afghanist...

Do prisoners pay taxes? My first instinct was that they wouldn't, since they wouldn't earn much more than pocket money from their jobs behind bars. However, if you owned a business, I guess you could still get taxable earnings from it, when it's being run in your absence. If prisoners can pay tax, ...

Ben Hunter

I have struggled a bit to see the logic behind prisoners having the right to vote. Why should they have a say in the running of the prison they have no choice but to live in or of a society that they've been excluded from? Why shouldn't they? I agree on Gevin's take, the onus is on people who suppo...

What actually was the point of Martin's piece? 50% off is obviously the same as BOGOF, and 75% extra is obviously less than 100% extra. I just couldn't see the catch. I missed the piece so I'm probably repeating something somebody said, but for me 50% off has a couple of advantages over BOGOF, for ...

I prefer Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor. He's great around the house and also a gifted voice actor, having played the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Stories 1, 2 and 3.

Monster performance from Ed, loving this run. The audience have been pretty noisy this week, enjoyed it.

She's called Jennifer Hunter now but she hasn't been on Apterous since November, unless she's gone and changed her name again.
