Re: Spoilers for Thursday 2nd November (Series 77, Prelim 87)
Ell! I nicked your new word for the 9 :P He could have continued and fudged from there too if he'd added the 50 for 425 and taken away the others for 407. Yeah, don’t know why you’d give up so soon. As for James, maybe it was nerves. Haha nice one :) Would have had the lovely 9 PELOBATID (cheers Br...

Got to feel for Dan there. He could’ve declared 400 and would’ve got over the line.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 2nd November (Series 77, Prelim 87)
Close game but failing to score on any numbers round is usually unforgivable. If someone can get all the numbers against him, then James will be stopped. BRA!! I'm in total agreement :) Unless they're all impossible. Declaring nothing on the last numbers was especially poor, you have to get at leas...

If Dan octos....which looks quite likely at the moment, it'll leave 22 more episodes...which is enough for 2 octochamps and 6 more games...food for thought anyway.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 1st November 2017 (Series 77, Prelim 86)
Yeah was a cracking game today with 2 good players - VENISON in particular was a brilliant spot, beat my WHINES hands down. GROUNDIE as a nice new tennis related 8 in round 8. The conundrum today is an example of where taking that extra second to think might be a good idea instead of buzzing in with...

Re: C4C/apto/Countdown Dreams
Not a particularly funny dream, but I had a dream last week that I'd received an email from the Countdown Team saying that my application was declined and that I was told to "never contact them again". It woke me up immediately and I had to check my email in the spur of the moment to chec...

Re: C4C/apto/Countdown Dreams
So....last night's starts with me and a few friends in sixth form discovering a part of the school that has been greyed because it has been "discounted from consideration from all records and statistics etc", exactly like an excluded game an apterous would be. Bemused, we walk inside to th...

Re: Vegetarianism/Veganism (in the right section!).
I think that's a view, simple as it may be, that many would agree with ☺. How do you think you'd cope if you were told that you had to go without meat for a month, for example? I wouldn't enjoy going without it for a month, but I reckon I'd be able to just about cope - wouldn't become vegetarian th...

Doesn't appear to be on apterous, which is my guide. Perhaps it's just not in wide enough usage?
