I'd blame it on the browser, IE must have broken it for everyone.

Yep, just got Chrome. Working now.

Only watched the first episode (because of a holiday) and I think it is good, but has drastic difficulty jumps e.g. from explaining what pi is to explaining how imaginary numbers help planes land and stuff.

ROADINESS works aswell (for ANODISERS)

Sorry for the mix-up fellas! when the round ended, we both declared 6. Then we just showed each other our pads- Tom had WARNED, and I had written down WARNED, WARDEN and (wrongly) ARMADA, imagining the M. I didn't "declare" ARMADA- it seems that this was the word that Thomas wrote down on...

Thomas Carey

Mine says in tiedfirst there is ORIENTAL/RELATION , AUDITOR , TADPOLE and TAONGA. These were all from ages ago when I was rubbish. Wouldn't miss any of 'em now (except maybe TAONGA)

IMPORTANT NOTICE I have discovered something that may change who the winner of CoNot is So, I was looking through my recaps (the ones from the first two games as Lesley has the rest) and I played Rob in game 1. Round 7 was RADWAENFA. I declared WARNED, but Rob declared ARMADA. We gave him the point...

Oh come on. 19th? Even worse than I did at CoLei! :o (Although this may have been the different ranking system. I certainly didn't play any worse! Actually this system is better, because I only won one match at CoLei and the berson below me in the ranks won 3. This is a lot fairer.) Well done Rob. L...

Wow. Finally done those 20 recaps that I booked in February. Series 17 is now complete. For whoever puts them on the wiki, I have the wikicap for most of them , but I can't put them on because I don't have an account. A bit of cleanup is required, e.g. one of them is in the database 3 times, another...

Steve beat me in the U1400. Might have won if I had entered my things a bit faster in R6,7 and especially 10, but hey. We decided to have our U1200 game on Weds.

On the lexplorer thing which tells you if it was pencilled.

I just got the word OTOÑAREN is Spanish and thought it was a dead cert for a pencil but I didn't get one. So, after the game I thought I'd have a look and see who had pencilled it already but in Lexplorer, it said the word hadn't yet been pencilled. Is this a bug or is it just that the Lexplorer pa...

I would argue that since Declan would have moved to within 5 points (yes I know it's only round 3) this would have settled him down and he could have gone on to spot some words that he may have missed due to feeling a bit pressured and panicky that he was 12 points behind instead. I know this is a ...

Thomas Carey

Will Declan get another shot because DISTILL* was allowed, or will they not bother because he would have lost anyway?

Thomas Carey

It's almost tempting to suggest there should be a Countdown rule stating derivative words ending in -AGE, -NESS (et al?) should be treated as mass nouns, but I suspect there are some exceptions that would spoil that idea as well, although I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Missed the show, but well done to Gareth.
I can't believe R10 though. I got in about 3 seconds.

Yeah, got it. But you know that as I told you about it. Do you have any idea what your ip address is (pm me) so we can play multiplayer?

An apterite in all four games, well done Drew on what will be probably the hardest run ever. Unlucky about Barry, I played him at CoLei (in a three-way with Alex Lacey) and he won something like 82-32 (70 for Alex), although I was pretty crap back then.

Amazing game, didn't realised Andrew was an apterite. I always thought Drew was a female name.
