Julie I'm not trying to be offensive because you often make jokes about your weight but how is someone who is clearly overweight any more of a good role model than someone who has a slightly close to the line sense of humour?

Douglas Wilson

For about a milisecond when I saw the title of the thread I forgot what day it was and wasn't completely ruling out the possibility of it being true but by the time I'd opened the thread I'd remembered. Phew.

Douglas Wilson

I remember it being touched on before on here that in between the finals being filmed and transmitted there was a thread only accessible for people that had actually seen it filmed. I was wondering that since it's been over 4 months since the finals were transmitted if this thread(s) could be made p...

Welcome to the April Fool's Day edition of the Robinson Recap. Hidden inside are 3 ridiculously easy mistakes (8 have already been found, so there are 3 left - see below). Happy hunting. Countdown recap for Thursday 32 March 2010. Can't believe I've only just noticed this one (and that no one notic...

I've highlighted 2 presumebly intentional mistakes in Round 5 and the DC summary before break one. Welcome to the April Fool's Day edition of the Robinson Recap.

Douglas Wilson

Kirk, Neil, Hamish, James, Andrew, Jeffrey, Oliver, Craig.

All contenders to be participants in the next CoC and IMO have more personality than your average Countdown contestant.

Douglas Wilson

Yourself plus two others Marc.

Douglas Wilson

A bit of a fun thread whilst we're deprived of the televised show. If you had to make a team to play Countdown who would you have in it. You're allowed yourself and two others but the twist is once a player has been picked (unless it's yourself) then they can't be picked again. For example if the fi...

Douglas Wilson

I agree with James about her being a good looking lass, not suprised Larsen made such a fuss about them getting engaged.

Douglas Wilson

What were the other two large numbers that we didn't see and is this the same twist for the other 3 shows or is it a different one?

Douglas Wilson

I heard that too James, but from a different source.

Douglas Wilson

When is your audition JT? Thanks for the interest, Douglas. However, I've shelved plans to apply to be a contestant, for the foreseeable future, for personal reasons. I do intend still feverishly practising on apterous, though, and popping along to Co events in the meantime to prop up the bottom th...

Douglas Wilson

So, Kevin has made it 3 from 3. Can he reach the promised land of Octochampdom by this time next week :?: Only time will tell.... Another rubbish spoiler starter brought to you by Robinson Recaps & Spoilers Inc. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-) If Kev does become an Octochamp it won't be by this time nex...

Douglas Wilson

With respect to Kevin he must be the worst dressed player since Jimmy Gough.

Douglas Wilson

Did Gillingham go down as you predicted at the weekend James?

Douglas Wilson

**Please read before voting** Countdown includes watching the show either live or on video/DVD/catchup/youtube etc, playing on apterous, playing the wii/ds/board game or any other similar games on the internet, going to the studio either as a spectator or contestant, talking about the show in any co...

Douglas Wilson

Views on todays challenger Kirk? Keeping them to myself. Tiernan may shoot me. Why should you supress your personality to please someone who has never been on the show and only contribution to the forum has been to post really obvious beaters and to moan about the lack of buzzer sound on the conund...

Douglas Wilson

Views on todays challenger Kirk?

Douglas Wilson

Hey! What's with the regular? :( I was in the audience, and I'm definitely supersized! ;) I'd been offered tickets for that week when I applied, having decided to travel up to the Manchester studios for the first time. I later got wind that they weren't going to be series games, and that it was a b...

Douglas Wilson

The concept is stolen from the last round of Mock the Week, where the panelists suggest funny things, yet unlikely to happen under a particular topic ie. unlikely things for a weather reporter to say. Since Charlie hinted there would be a suprise when the specials are broadcasted I thought it would ...

Oestriol round one

Douglas Wilson

I do know that Huddersfield Town are away at Tranmere tonight but I can't go because I have a job. :( When has people having a job meant that you can't go to a Tuesday night football match :?: Presumably when people has a job that involves working on a Tuesday night? More to do with getting to Tran...

Today is Tuesday and after having a women occupying the challengers chair for what seems like an unheard of amount of time these days normal service is resumed in the shape of Barney Maunder-Taylor who with 19 :o letters in his name takes over from Garner fodder Troy Ramsey-Axelsson in the race to s...

Douglas Wilson

Wow they all sound fucking awesome.

(Genuine apologies if it was meant to be a secret and I spoilt it with my post on the other thread)

Douglas Wilson

Heard a rumour some special shows were filmed today.

Obviously don't want to know the results but could we know who was playing and when they will be shown?

Douglas Wilson

What's there not to understand Charlie? (Happy Birthday by the way)

Douglas Wilson

Should be self explanatory.

Douglas Wilson

I thought Heather was pretty hot, not quite as hot as the lady from last week or my current favourite this series Jan.

Even if she is attractive, it's apparently really pervy to post on here that they're hot. Ask Liam.

Pfft it's because of men like that, that women got the vote.

Today is Wednesday which is the middle of the working week (for those of you who have jobs :ugeek:) Forum favourite Craig lost narrowly yesterday, clearly showing signs of tiredness after a silently underpar performance on Monday. However we should all be pleased to know that 6 wins and 663 points w...

Jason Larsen loves cock

Douglas Wilson

Again no stats here to back this up, but I think there are still a fair few old people but you probably don't notice them so much because we haven't had any good quality ones recently so they only stay for a game or two.

Douglas Wilson

Cheers Ian, sorry to be boring but my £10 is on Kirk.

Sneaky £1 on Richard Priest and Julie T as well.

Hope you'll be doing an asian handicapp market when the draw is made.

Douglas Wilson

I don't want to play, but wondered if anyone was opening a book on the winner?

Douglas Wilson

Just did a Julie T and watched this on catch up.

Great game, the challenger is easily the second fittest contestant of the series so far and I think will hold that title for a long time to come. Really starting to like Craig, liked his 'that's not fair' comment when he realised sinuses was valid!

Douglas Wilson

Hey Kirk, I'm not having a go at Jason I'm just wondering where these recaps are considering Jason has time to post irrelevant stuff all over the forum I thought it would be a better use of his time to do these recaps and he has promised them quite a lot! Like I said don't want to upset anyone thoug...

Douglas Wilson

Jason I'm very upset about the lack of recaps and the lack of explantion, regardless of what Kirk says.

Douglas Wilson

BTW when I started the thread I didn't just mean for you to post on that day, you can do it as often as you like.

Tonight I had Spag bol, garlic bread and a green salad.

Douglas Wilson

Jason why have you bowed down to Kirk's request but not mine?

Mine is far more reasonable.

Douglas Wilson

Since when was she a Cambridge graduate?

Douglas Wilson

Jason how is it irrelevant that I'm deeply upset and hurt that your not delivering your many promises of Countdown recaps?

Douglas Wilson

OK Jason, I understand that.

Still no excuse for these recaps you continually promise but don't deliver.

Douglas Wilson

Jason you won't satisfy me until you've done the Countdown recaps you promised months ago and applied for the show as you won my poll.

Douglas Wilson

Tonight I'm cooking a large stir fry with egg noodles.

What are YOU having for dinner?

Clive Brooker wrote: How is that "taking this thread off at a tangent"?

Because this thread is to talk about spoilers in today's show, not who you'd rather play at Countdown.

Douglas Wilson

Sorry to take this thread off on a tangent but who would you rather: Jackie or Jan? That is an inappropriate comment for this forum, especially considering that one or both of these women could read it. How is it inappropriate to ask who you would rather play a game of Countdown with on a Countdown...

Douglas Wilson

Sorry to take this thread off on a tangent but who would you rather: Jackie or Jan?

Douglas Wilson

Yes Dinos.

Douglas Wilson

I'm so sorry for locking that thread yesterday I'm frustrated at apterous being down and Lara not being able to talk to me.

Douglas Wilson

I have an announcement!

I just spoke to Lara on the phone, she's such a sweetie she tells me Countdown will be having it's first transgender American contestant on the 22nd January 2010, keep that date in your diary.

Douglas Wilson

Yes Michael

Douglas Wilson

Sorry guys I can't do recaps now my computer is broken.

Douglas Wilson

Just to let you all know I'm going to make you all happy as I'm doing recaps this week!

Douglas Wilson

Your kidding Kirk!

Douglas Wilson

Yes, Douglas.

Douglas Wilson

Rules of this thread:

- Every post should bare no relevence to the one before it
