C2: HAWKER (6)
DC: WEARY (5) HAWKER (6)
OT: AWEARY (6)
Score: 64–52 (max 75)
A good six from John means he reduces the deficit. DC should be kicking themselves for missing the darren, not that it’s that common a word.

Re: Spoilers For Wednesday May 12th 2010
Interesting that bit at the end about the Teletubbies , when Rachel said her favourite was "the one with the bag", and Jeff disagreed, saying "Tinky-Winky", but unless I'm not mistaken, Tinky-Winky WAS "the one with the bag". :? Oh well. A very good game again. Almost t...

He looks like a decent contestant, 10 maxes yesterday proves otherwise. Harsh! I'm always pretty chuffed when I get 10 maxes. Must be nice being fucking amazing. I'm guessing that's a typo/joke given James doesn't even average 9 per game (and a cursory glance of the top n players on apterous shows ...

So, the champions' chair merry-go-round is in full swing, as we now have a 3rd different occupant in it today, with Paul Stevenson (and his fan club in the audience) in the chair, after beating Gwen Robinson yesterday. He looks like a decent contestant, 10 maxes yesterday proves otherwise. Can he wi...

Re: Tuesday recap apology
You just make sure that your recap on the 24th is a blockbuster. ;) Ah, you misunderstand - that was me backing out altogether... Oh dear. Well, I'll continue interimming until a new permanent person can replace you then. Hopefully, it won't take too long. Maybe Ryan would like the job. He's done p...

Re: CoLei3 - Saturday 16 October 2010
I think I'll be able to come, but the date could cause a problem, but I'll take my chances.
I'll send money later.

Re: Spoilers For Monday May 10th 2010
And, for the first tea-time teaser, C.I.D. isn't an acronym, is it? Isn't it short for C riminal I nvestigation D epartment, or something. Which I believe is the brief for an acronym. I thought an acronym had to be pronounceable as a word, e.g. UNESCO or AIDS, whereas C.I.D. is an abbreviation. You...

Re: Spoilers For Monday May 10th 2010
That was probably one of the most surprising comebacks of all time
Bit of a shame Lee lost, but on the plus side, another Robinson has won on the show.
3rd Numbers Alt: (25 x 8) - (6 x 3) - 5 = 177
TRAIPSES in round 9 too.
