You mean this John? You can try upgrading to IE8. I did that and it sorted it for a while but then it came back! Charlie is aware of it. Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but Todays Duel Leaders, Latest Pencils & Top Dog are too wide and are obscuring the Happenings down the right hand side of my screen. It's been like this for a while now, which makes me think not everyone's having this problem (or some computer-whizz ...

You should certainly name & shame. Honourable mention goes to Scott Gillies, whose original score was 35, including three missed conundrums, who only managed to 'improve' to 73/75 second time around, which still works out to a healthy +8. What a cheating cunt. What's the point of doing this? I'...

Congratulations on Octochampdom! You were superb throughout

(Although I did manage to beat you in one numbers round, yesterday! Hehe)

A couple of days ago, in the Daily Duel, TAMPONADE was the max in one of the rounds. What a horrible, horrible word which conjures up all sorts of disturbing images and thoughts (at least in my warped mind). I drink a lot of Pink Lemonade - it'll never be the same again. Although maybe Tamponade cou...

I'd be a LEGUME, because (if you write it vertically) it means I get my LEG over U and ME. Pretend I'm Susie, and I've defined a word incorrectly - what would you do to me? (edited to make the question slightly less rubbish) I'd say, "Susie, you need to put your pencam up a bit more. Aaaah bab...

Stephen Fry asked this very question. He anticipated some smarty-pants would say iron, stone, bronze etc and told them not to do it!

A couple of weeks ago whilst sitting in a supermarket cafe with my wife waiting on our order, which was order number 24, I asked my wife if she could spot what was special about the number 24.

After leaving school in 1979 I went to Glasgow University to do some serious partying. While there I became fairly friendly with Charles Kennedy, as we had attended the same school.

Test must be shite. As I'm decidedly mediocre at Countdown I must be normal.

Sorry Jon I deleted it. I'm scunnered with all the controversy and don't wish to add to it. I shouldn't have posted - apologies.

John Gillies

Hi Kevin Davis,

Can you let me know when you want to play our game?
I've PM'd you with my availability, which is basically any time from now onwards.

Thanks.

John Gillies

Great score today Scott. Did you feel no remorse beating that woman? She clearly wasn't enjoying being sat in that seat! did i fuck feel bad lol. thats what she gets for the being the only person to go into a lead lol What a horrible wee shite my son is. :!: And as well as not knowing how to pronou...

Now that Denmark are out of the Apterous World Cup and Scotland aren't involveed in the real World Cup I might as well do something over the summer.
I could sit in front of the telly and support England, but since that isn't going to happen then please put me in for the U1200 section.

Well done to your son again (I've got the familial connection right haven't I?) I think if I were to have a son, I would call him "Englishmann". ;) Haha :D Not sure it'll catch on, although some people have called their children some pretty daft names. Dweezil, Moon-Unit, Zowie, Fifi-Trix...

Scott's back down in Manchester for a Stag Weekend, and they were all in a pub watching the show. He'll be taking a bit of stick from his mates, not many of whom (if any) are Countdown fanatics like Scott. A pretty convincing win, but even I spotted 'equation', 'impedance' and 'aphorise' which he di...

John Gillies

The boy done good!
Although when he declared blokes I thought the arse had missed the obvious blokiest! He knew better, thankfully!

John Gillies

Great! Count me in. I would enjoy a sound spanking from one of the top players, preferably female. Definitely not my son Scott; that would be just too pervy.

John Gillies

I've just noticed this. As I'm too shit (and too shit scared) to apply for Countdown, I would love to have played in this. I guess I'm miles too late?

John Gillies

Andy, That sounds cool. Glad to hear he's a decent bloke and they're touring. Their music's a bit brutal; don't think the neighbours like it much!

26/04/1983 was the 22nd birthday of a girl with whom I was hopelessly infatuated at school 5 years previously. On 25/04/1983 she was 21. We went out a couple of times then she dumped me. I was gutted. She was gorgeous. On both those dates I was a 21 year old piss-artist uni drop-out. I was also marr...

Hi,

I was just playing Lancelot Wyse and was well up. He said "this is killing me" and promptly left the room. I'm getting really sick of people doing this. How does he keep getting away with this?

John Gillies

Hi - a daft question to which probably everyone knows the answer except me. While reading the Current Recaps of televised games the recapper (is that a word?) often says "they missed the darren" or some such. What is a "darren"?

Myself and J Levinson scheduled our game for tonight, erroneously believing that Sunday was the last day for matches. Can we still play, or is it too late?
Sorry to have cocked it up.

Definitely not the speed one!

Does anyone know James Hall. I'm having trouble organising my 2nd round game with him - he hasn't responded to my message or email.

Hi,

How do you upload an image into my player profile? Can't find it anywhere.

John Gillies

Thanks for the welcome guys, and the quick response to my query. So I'm free to keep whipping his ass (sometimes).

John Gillies

Hi,
I'm quite new to apterous, as is my son. We sometimes play each other, with him on the PC upstairs and me on the laptop downstairs. Is this considered cheating? If it is, we are not very good at cheating as can be seen from our ratings!
