It's not that difficult to get a ranking, Thomas. Touchy Words has 4 high score tables. 800+ is usually good enough for the "Last 24 hours table" 900+ for the "Last 7 days table" 1,000+ for the "Best scores this month table. The final table, the highest score ever table, has...

Steven M. McCann

Lee, I would really like to believe you could beat Judy Bursford, but as she's a top ten Touchy Words player and your not, I have my doubts!

Steven M. McCann

So the joke dictionary this programme uses has words you would never hear in a 100 years like DOGFOODING, but not words in everyday use like CARTONED! as in CARTONED milk, CARTONED orange,CARTONED eggs etc..etc...

Steven M. McCann

CARTONED in the DRACONE round.

Steven M. McCann

Didn't hear Susie saying REMOTEST (although I was listening to the tennis at the same time!).

Steven M. McCann

REMOTEST? in the REMOTES round!

Steven M. McCann

After this years Aussie Open Final, when Andy after being 2-0 up in the 3rd set imploded after Djokovik got the trainer on (winning only 1 of the last 13 games), maybe Seppi decided to fake an injury and get the trainer on to see would the same thing happen, amazingly it did, but it was still disapp...

Steven M. McCann

Getting outplayed, so pretends he needs the trainer!

Steven M. McCann

OUTPASS? in round1 (as in what the Japanese women are going to do to England tonight!)

Steven M. McCann

Tonight BBC4 11-00pm...WALKABOUT (1970).
They don't make films like this anymore, a masterpiece.
The director, Nicolas Roeg is profiled in the preceding programme starting at 10-00pm.

Steven M. McCann

Well done on your 5 wins, Rhys, go away and practice the letters a bit more, then come back in 5 years or so and blow everyone away (figuratively speaking of course!)

Steven M. McCann

According to Colin Murray, Jesse Owens thanked Luz Long for "helping him" with the only German word he knew, Danke, (German for thanks) if Luz Long spoke to him in English, why did Jesse Owens feel the need to thank him in German when English would have sufficed? Jesse Owens himself, has a...

Steven M. McCann

Apparently Colin Murrays Olympic story today has been proven to be total fantasy, he should check his facts in future!

Steven M. McCann

If Jesse Owens only knew one word of German, how did he know what Luz Long was saying?

Steven M. McCann

Drug testers banging on his front door for well over a hour, maybe he's a wee bit hard of hearing or maybe he just didn't fancy being tested that particular day, who knows? Did the testers not have his phone number? why didn't they call him and ask him to open his door? or maybe they did, but him be...

Steven M. McCann

Was THINKERS disallowed in round 1?

Steven M. McCann

As big a joke as the organisation itself.
On the strength of their win over the hugely overrated (No2 in the World) Belgians, Wales are all set to break into the Worlds Top 10!
At this rate, Roy Hodgson's England will be No1 after they beat San Marino!

Steven M. McCann

A rare chance to see the No1 pin-up in women's soccer playing live, I am of course referring to Alex Morgan (USA) who could easily pass for a supermodel.

Steven M. McCann

Congrats to both players on a very high quality final, Tom's prowess at the numbers is astonishing, the best ever?
Re:DEPICTORS, the SCRABBLE curse strikes again!

Steven M. McCann

DEPICTORS? in the PREDICTS round.

Steven M. McCann

Terrific game, some great spots from Tracey and a super third numbers game from Gerry, shame somebody had to lose.
Maybe in future series we could have a 3rd place play-off?
Even Touchy Words won't accept UNSTAGED!
I thought HOMEGIRL was two words, you live and learn.

Steven M. McCann

When you suddenly have an old Countdown favourite like TOWNEE disallowed, you know it's not going to be your day.
I wonder did Tom know it was no longer valid? or just didn't spot it.

Steven M. McCann

Is it true that when Andy was getting his Countdown tattoo, the tattooist started doing an outline of Gyles Brandreth on his arm, alarmed at this, Andy said "What do you think your doing?" the tattooist replied "What are you complaining about? I thought you said you wanted a tattoo of...

Steven M. McCann

Three "nines" available already and I didn't spot any of them, no doubt there will be somebody on here later, claiming to have spotted all three!

Steven M. McCann

That's two huge blows in 3 days, first Brendan Rodgers is staying! and now Jo Brand (with her painfully unfunny made up words) is going to be on to spoil the rest of this series!
GOONLESS was one of the worst risks I think I've ever heard! maybe he was thinking of GOONERLESS, as at White Hart Lane!

Steven M. McCann

So going by their averages, Tom's a 40 point favourite, It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Steven M. McCann

REMOVALS in the MARVELS round.

Steven M. McCann

We should have Shakira in DC corner instead of this big wuss!.....bursting into tears because a ickle gorilla held his hand! ......man up for God's sake!

Steven M. McCann

Susie disallowed OUTSETS I wonder would she have disallowed SETOUTS?

Steven M. McCann

STURDIER as a beater in the last letters round.

Steven M. McCann

The Public Gets What The Public Wants....... Well they certainly didn't in this years Eurovision, the public wanted ITALY as winners, but instead got their 3rd choice, SWEDEN, thanks to the voting shenanigans of the Juries, who somehow managed to have ITALY only 6th. Shades of last year when the UK ...

Steven M. McCann

I see this years Austrian entry (3 blokes with plenty of facial hair) came last with 0 points maybe they should have borrowed some of Conchita's frocks!

Steven M. McCann

No doubt the anti Russian "juries" played a huge part in fixing it for the "gimmick" winner.

Steven M. McCann

7/1 now SERBIA, bookies Paddy Power are taking the piss!, she was 200/1 earlier this week!

Steven M. McCann

Graham Norton seems to be under the impression that Conchita is actually a woman rather than a bearded bloke who likes wearing women's clothes.

Steven M. McCann

When it comes to pure greed, Bookmakers could teach Bankers a thing or two.
The money grabbing c#@ts have been shortening up every thing, however I think I have managed to find a little each-way value in the form of.............ESTONIA @ around 25/1.

Steven M. McCann

There has been a huge gamble on BELGIUM, freely available @ 80/1 before the first semi-final, now you would struggle to get 7/1.
My money's going on RUSSIA at around 4/1.

Steven M. McCann

Another performance like today's and I don't think Steve will be around for too much longer.
I hope the other Steve in dictionary corner, cuts out trying to find animals in the selection nearly every round, its beginning to get tedious.

Steven M. McCann

APRICOTS in the FACTORS round.

Steven M. McCann

I make it you got 6 right Rhys, the favourites Sweden are a joke price (13/8) O.K. he interacts well with the graphics but there's no way he should be this short as the song and his singing are nothing special.
The voters did a great job on culling the fit females from this semi-final!(Spoilsports)

Steven M. McCann

My 10 are LITHUANIA IRELAND NORWAY PORTUGAL LATVIA ICELAND SWEDEN SWITZERLAND POLAND & SLOVENIA.

Steven M. McCann

I got both BEETLED & PUNKAH, but thanks to you Tony, I bottled out of risking them!
On the downside I was 90% sure the conundrum was CRACKHEID!

Steven M. McCann

MURIATED in the 2nd round.

Steven M. McCann

The first live semi-final is on BBC3 now, for anybody looking for some idea on what to have a bet on.

Steven M. McCann

My SCRABBLE Dictionary is going in the bin!

Steven M. McCann

BROMINES in the MOONRISE round.

Steven M. McCann

Apparently the UK's entry this year features some "scatting", I was going to make an off colour joke, but I have somehow managed to resist the temptation!

Steven M. McCann

Very unlucky David, both PINIEST & SHAPEN are allowed in SCRABBLE and before any one says it.....also Touchy Words!

Steven M. McCann

Yeah, I usually don't care too much about the conundrum either................especially when I can't get it!

Steven M. McCann

Newsnight tonight, is asking how did the opinion polls get the result so wrong.

Steven M. McCann

It's Episode 12 of Series 2 tonight, James.
Jesse's heroin addiction is beginning to spiral out of control!

Steven M. McCann

Once again great forecasting by the pre-election pollsters! who on earth did they they poll? liars, loonies, toddlers, windup merchants?
How on earth could they get the result so badly wrong?

Steven M. McCann

No need to stay up, it's all done and dusted, another 5 years of the "Coalition" with the Liberal Democrats having even less influence this time round (if that's possible!).

Steven M. McCann

When Susie allowed GOBSHITE the other day she certainly muddied the waters as regards what is and isn't acceptable, I certainly wouldn't have risked it (although I would have had to spot it first!). For example would the notorious SHITFACED be allowed now? what about HORSESHIT, BULLSHIT, SHITHEAD, D...

Steven M. McCann

HOARSENED in the SOREHEAD Red.

Steven M. McCann

If Stuart was indeed the guy who was "deactivated" from Apterous, it's a shame, as he certainly looks as if he could have done with the practice, judging on today's performance.
He should get himself on to Touchy Words were cheating isn't just condoned, it's actually encouraged!

Steven M. McCann

"New" to Freeview is what I should have said.

Steven M. McCann

A new free channel called Spike started today and its main highlight seems to be cult US drama Breaking Bad, which will be shown every night at 11pm starting tonight.
It's on Freeview31, Freesat141 & Sky160.

Steven M. McCann

CUSHIONED in the INDUCES round.

Steven M. McCann

GIZMO in the QUIZ round.
