You missed GRANITES (99% obscurity rating, can't be right, surely) Yeh for some odd reason it isn't in CountMax. Meh. It's a bit of an oddity, this one and it depends on the vintage of the CountMax. At first it was included because it was (erroneously) included in the Official Countdown Words, but ...

After Phil Hammond's last week I found this online. It's awesome and now I'm listening to it on repeat. I'm such a child.

Off-topic much?

Well, when I did that show I hoped to use 2 letters for my numbers, so I was going to go J & R, obviously, but the capital R is hard to make with those 6 numbers. So, I went with K & C instead. But didn't she struggle to understand what you meant? What's wrong with "1 large and 5 small...

Shortlisted? Well, what can you do? I don't know if it means something else in American, but in English it's a good thing! English and American are the same thing because we speak English!

Just "myriad" rather than "a myriad". I wouldn't normally have mentioned it, but you did ask and as Phil's on a break just now, someone had to do it. Either is fine. But if you want to use "myriad" rather than "a myriad" then it functions as an adjective like...

Unfortunately, we were encouraged to celebrate the new millennium a year early, so we're all stuck with it now.

I'd love to go, but there's a high risk, nay a certainty, that most of you will bore the fuck out of me, so i'll go to watch James Robinson's show instead. :mrgreen: http://www.yorktheatreroyal.co.uk/cgi/events/events.cgi?t=template&a=483 http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu203/SpiritmanProduc...

I don't know about your shirt, but you changed seats to give the answer.

I know this is going off at a tangent but If we are currently living in the second Elizabethan era, what will the next era be called?

So are we saying that following a religion and belief in the paranormal are inexorably linked then? A mind not glued shut by pragmatism or corrupted by 'organised' religion.

The Dutch pronunciation of the diphthong AU is more-or-less like Jeff said it. I think a number of Middle English vowels were much more like Dutch, so this could indeed be an accurate throw-back (as Charlie suggests). I actually meant the Greek τραυμα (wound), wherein αυ is pronounced "ow"...
