Interesting to compare Abdi's body language after his conundrum buzz today compared to yesterday :roll: Indeed, and it took him 2 to 2.5 seconds this time, rather than 0.5 to 1. I'd been waiting to see this game before passing final judgement on whether or not he was aware of his actions in the pre...

Callum Todd

Hi guys, thanks for all your comments; I hope you enjoyed the episode. Despite it being my losing one, it was the game I enjoyed the most. While Abdi may have attempts a few fudges ad Hansfords, ultimately he won because he had that little extra bit of quality over me throughout most of the game. I...

Combined score of 191, I believe. That's pretty good

Chris was a good competitor.

Callum Todd

SEAMOUNT in R8 and CAJEPUT in R13. Am I the only one who's vaguely amused that today's opponent is C.Allum, which reads as Callum, which is also the name of the person she's playing :P Nah, just me? Oh, ok then. Oh I didn't realize that; well spotted :) Slick editing today; we were laughing for abo...

I saw MAULING about three or four seconds too late

If I remember correctly Ben declared LETTING in round 2, although it certainly sounded like VETTING when broadcast.

ha, I love it. I liked yesterday's "in amongst the dalmatians" too. Nick is brilliant.

Well done Callum on a strong performance against a pretty good opponent. You seem to be improving steadily as your run progresses.

Thanks Jack! Ben was a very good opponent. JUNIPERS especially was a great spot from him.

Callum Todd

Chickened the 9

Callum Todd

They did actually spot CAMPIEST in the studio, but that bit has been edited out. I imagine it's because Susie said "you can be the CAMPEST or the CAMPIEST, if you like" and Nick replied "I wouldn't like to be any one of those, thank you very much". Can't believe I missed those tw...

I chickened the 9

Callum Todd

It was a good close game, and you're right about Adam being very unlucky in the first numbers game. Can't believe I didn't realize I could add another G to WAGON! :roll: During our game Adam told me about apterous and if it weren't for him I would be on this forum now, wouldn't be on apterous, and w...

I had A WIDE SHIT in round 7.

Callum Todd

Great bit of banter with Rachel at the end.

Did anyone try to play governers?

Well I definitely won't be submitting an application for any time soon; let's just put it that way.

Thanks for the response everyone, it's really good of you all

Thanks a lot Mark, that's really helpful

Callum Todd

Thanks Kevin, that thread's really useful! And I have to disagree with your claim that I'm a better player than you; I think we're fairly evenly matched, with you being slightly better

Callum Todd

... and I think it's back down again now.

Callum Todd

Is apterous down?

no.

Callum Todd

Since joining apterous nearly 2 months ago, I think my game has improved quite a bit. But I'd like it to improve some more as I plan to start attending the co events fairly often. I'm wondering how the top top players do as well as they do, or what players of any ability do to improve their game. Is...

Please?

Alex is currently on at the time of this post. Abdi will be on Tuesday 8th October. Fiona will be on sometime within a week of Abdi.

Callum Todd

Can you have DESPAIRS? I went for that playing along at home but when DC didn't mention it I checked the Dictionary and DESPAIR is a mass noun.

Callum Todd

Despite having said on two previous occasions that I would be unable to attend due to unmeetable travel prices, I've checked again and found a train journey that has either been newly added to the timetable or had its price reduced, as it might be affordable for me. It's dependent on whether or not...

No, Alex Fish. Abdi's game is on Tuesday 8th October. And it's a good one.

and OPTIMA for 6 in round 13, although I'm sure someone will find a 7 or more.

This will be my first event. I'm looking forwards to meeting everyone

Callum Todd

Adbirizak is certainly one to watch. He plays with great enthusiasm and skill.

My episode(s) will be broadcast on Friday 27th September (and each weekday thereafter, should I pick up any wins).

Hello, I've been a fan of Countdown for many years but was not aware that this online community existed until I competed on Countdown in Series 69 and Adam Dexter, who was in the studio on the same day as me, recommended apterous to me. That was 6 weeks ago now and I'm now trying to make my way up t...

The young lady in the audience who answered the conundrum will be competing on the show on Wednesday 25th September.
