GAMBIER is a mass noun: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/gambier

oops

Any guesses (a R8 max

) for the 6?

I think the conundrum is something ending in -pam, like Lazorepam or something like that...

Can one have AGARISED for R1?

Tom S

Also it's a great topic but can we expand it earliest over all memory? I remember my second birthday, sitting at the table and the room just lit up with the candles on the cake and then being frightened when they were blow out. Come to think of it people would probably have been singing happy birth...

"JE" is of an ability to do so, likewise a few others like Matt Hall and of course Elliott- thinking of potential top players who could make an appearance at some point inbetween the next year or so....

I love John's chilled, laid-back, laissez-faire attitude....

Tom S

Ferried as an alternative to Refried.

Drake- he's a good guy and does a lot for charity work, but really, as harsh as it is, a newbie of his vocal and musical ability should really give up on music. There seems to be some kind of Grime Revolution, and I don't like it one bit.

Yeah - was a great spot. I was sure he was going to say "tomatos"

Same- I dismissed him when he said 7, and me and my mum both sat smugly in our chairs because we thought we would gain extra points against him

I think Apto is down at the minute...

I could not keep the Dave Ryan thing up for all of it, but up to R12 is a good effort :) I assume it's related to the fact that Dave Ryan scored 7 in every letters round in one of his games. I'd actually lobby to have that pattern known as the Len Goodman thing, personally. MIRADOR in the DIORAMA/M...

Declaring 7s in all the letters rounds, as he did on his last show....

SAMURAI as a R1 beater.

I don't think it's that weird. I weigh myself quite frequently these days because I've got the London marathon coming up and I want to be 9 stone on 22nd April.

I would expect that Mohsin is a British national who lives over in Saudi Arabia, so one would assume that is why he was allowed on the show- thought he had a Northern accent so expect that is the case.....

Quality still at a low level today. It does frustrate me though when Rachel says that there are many options when a sum was missed. She could do it for blatantly obvious ones, but I thought that 780 was not blatantly obvious. Anyways, quality still low today, though nice conundrum solve from Patrick...
