When Damian gets overwhelmed or excited about something, that's when he starts to talk down about himself. Otherwise, he is a nice and friendly guy and I do appreciate his sense of humor!

I like corned beef, but more often than not i prefer Pacman or Super Mario.

Eadie v Sutton completed.
Lovely conundrum spot by Jacob. Never heard of it.

D Eadie

Can i request Fred West as a possible alternative??

D Eadie

My take on this........... Fritzl, Father Xmas and such, they are funny, initially unexpected and can raise a smile or two, but only for the first few rounds, after that the shock / humour value disappears. The regulars are desensitized to it all, but for newbies it can possibly prevent them from en...

Blimey - i won yesterday even though i gamble wit ITRIUM and got no points.
You guys must be shite

Andrea is a fake but Lousie Bambury isn't.
She means APRIL 22nd.

D Eadie

I voted once, went to choose my 2nd option, then wasn't allowed, but to be honest i didn't really have a second option. Its pretty clear which game is the best, it must be the one you played in yourself. How can you enjoy other people's games?

D Eadie

Prime v Eadie - It looks like a goat, but it isn't! The man who invented the best form of the game seems strangely reluctant to play it, but if your regular games are as good as this, why bother! http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=33640 Charlie and Jono claim i invented it, but i think they ...

D Eadie

Am not bothered how you spell my name. Everyone calls me Dame, or Damo, so the last vowel doesnt really matter, unless you're calling me a twit.......

D Eadie

Personally, i think this whole argument is past its cellar by date.............

D Eadie

......youv'e been hit by a smooth criminal???

D Eadie

No more racing or anything else this series now, Richard. We're on every day.

D Eadie

In which case Jon, it was prob Michael W who spotted it. I really don't remember.

D Eadie

This is so sad for everyone concerned and it is just not the right time to be selling homes and buying new ones in another area. Isn't there some way that the Countdown team could rent a small unit somewhere near Leeds and set themselves up independently but under the umbrella of the controlling co...

D Eadie

Rd 7 really rattled me. I had bruised, then contemplated DEBRUISED, and thought i would enter it into the 'notes' section in case you offered a 9, then as i was doing that i saw BIRDSEED, and thought you'd have a 7 so went to enter that instead and the time ran out. Then obviously you offer DEBRUISE...

D Eadie

If ALL Countdown staff unite and say they'll do the recording in Manchester as long as the rest is still in Leeds, would those in charge accept that compromise? Because it would be a big nightmare / headache / f*ck up to replace all staff (with who knows what effect it would have on the quality of ...

D Eadie

Worth adding, for those not familiar with the area, that Leeds to Manchester must be commuting hell. On the map it's not that far, with excellent road and rail links through lovely countryside, and many people commute much further to London, but travelling is decidedly not the joy you might think. ...

D Eadie

I originally lurked in this topic, but I have a question. Since I called Kate to inform her that I read the bad news, I had called Lara to ask her whether the production team would still be working on Countdown after the move. I know none of them can dial internationally so I sent her an e-mail sin...

D Eadie

Sent one in. Have fun.

Hmmm...check out the time on this conundrum. Super lag? http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=34995&round=517263#r517263 The conundrum times are local times, so you can't lag against that. Times like Damian's are caused by some other bug which sometimes makes the clock run slow, which I hav...

D Eadie

Yes please.

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=34788 Strange indeed that i play my most solid game of the night after half a dozen beers, but earlier on when totally sober i was complete pants. Sometimes even the most common words elude me, then i can pull something pretty obscure out of the hat moments...

That sounds kinda ominous. Has Matt been seen since?

Avoid beachy head at all costs - there's nothing worse than getting sand in your teeth.

D Eadie

What is a WIBLI?

I've never seen it on In The Night Garden.

Iggle-Piggle yes.

I have to agree with you David. It's probably a pointless exercise but done with good intention nonetheless.

Now, has anyone seen my Og Pog?

D Eadie

Interestingly, I used to think it was illegal to go over 1000 until I saw someone do it. I've even seen someone declare 1000 on a 999 game (was it against DOD?). Yes, that was me. Unfortunately David did solve it. I always thought the 999 target was a bit spooky/dodgy, as Trudie Goodwin from The Bi...

And as of yet, i'm the only person to play EUNUCHS. Must be a taboo word for some

D Eadie

I'm glad you're back, Damian! But, I don't know if we'll be talking to you for very much longer! Hmm - i'm not planning on dying just yet, Jason. As for who'll be working on the show, those of us on the prod team all have our jobs if we want them. If we chose not to relocate / travel to Manchester ...

Am sure Charlie can put you straight Jon.
I don't recall voting on this.

What on earth are you people talking about? You make my blood boil. The selections are RANDOM for gods sake, of course you are going to get 3 of a kind etc - have you never heard of the game of poker?

D Eadie

You've outed me as a Dame on an internet forum.

That's not fair Demi - you know i'd never tell anyone your real name is Demelza.

D Eadie

Because we write the material, not the viewer.

D Eadie

Did i ever mention how pants this forum can be at times?

I can feel a bout of self-exclusion coming on again.

D Eadie

Jason, if i moved to America i'd be insane.
Jerry Springer comes to Countdown soon, that's as good as it gets for you my friend.

My finest hour on the numbers game, me thinks.
Went down like a lead balloon behind the scenes though.

D Eadie

It's been announced on Radio 4 news this morning that ITV are planning to close the main Leeds studios, and mentioned a number of programmes that will suffer, but Countdown was not one of them. How many studios are there in Leeds? And is Countdown produced in one of the main studios? Countdown, sad...

Please leave me alone forever.

This is ever so touching. Bless you Kate.

The old ID was shut down at my request Jon, or at least 'frozen' or whatever they call it, but i cannot remember the password etc, so i joined again, albeit temporarily, just to say hello and bless you all for being so friendly and full of banter together. Not getting roped into ANY discussions on a...

D Eadie

I can't see the harm in allowing more people a second go. A couple of dozen a year who showed themselves to be well above average, but were just unlucky. They wouldn't be as nervous the second time round, the overall quality would go up. I do think qualification would have to be pretty subjective t...

I think Charlie Whaddock-Hunt was one of them.

Surely it doesnt matter who you are up against, if you get a max score, nobody can affect it, unless they distract you with obscene comments in the chat area. I might have to do that next time. Seriously though, that was very impressive and of course nothing i can do to stop your score, but i was sl...

Okay, the corollary to "the challenger loses to an octochamp to be" is "the potential octochamp who comes up to their fourth or fifth game of the day and on account of being knackered loses to someone they would have trashed if wide awake and sharp". If you are observing that th...
