Me and Emma have got some dudey sea monkeys. They've grown so big you can see their actual balls. (I think sea monkeys have balls anyway)

I'm guessing he forgot he'd signed up for this one Rhys but he told me he's on a Countdown detox at the minute so you ought to pull him out.

Still undefeated (bo3 speaking) in the Junior Mint Ryan Taylor 1 - 2 Dinos Sfyris. First 14 rounds were pretty straight forward in every game. Then the conundrums were just a classic tale of tortoise and the hare with Ryan buzzing pretty much instantaneously on all 3 games and only being successful ...

Dinos 119 - 43 Karen Karen had already resigned herself to the fact she was only going to play one game before the tournament even started, but she has been known to throw a spanner in the works before and I thought she just might do it again... she didn't though. This game was pretty much a walkov...

Dinos 96 - 81 Jono Thought it was definitely going to be Jono's day as he kicked off with TERRAPIN but luckily his 8 in the next round turned out to be a dud so I clawed back to within 1. A very evenly matched game ensued with me managing to push ahead with RIFLEMAN and then the lovely PILEWORT gav...

Dinos 79 - 71 Phil With a MINIGOLF pencil for me in round 1 I think I counted my chickens too early as Phil stormed back with REASONER and the first numbers to pull 10 ahead. We both missed the 9 from MOATSHAPE but I salvaged an 8 to put me back within striking distance then I blagged a 6 small to ...

Dinos 106 - 88 Charlie From the start this was always going to be a close match. We were equally ace on all the letters and equally palsied on the numbers. Luckily my spot of AVIONICS pushed me 8 points ahead. I didn't risk QUOTHED (which sounds like a mistake in the dictionary) and would've let me...

Me and the Binnster fully caught up now. I won the speed demon which could have gone either way really, and the main flight 2-0. Here are the games:

Hugh 85 - 95 Dinos

Dinos 92 - 67 Hugh
Hugh 67 - 103 Dinos

Dinos Sfyris

Hugh Binnie and I have various games to play in all formats of the competition. Hugh if you're reading this I'll be online tonight after work from just after midnight (PMing on my phone is buggered) Failing that I should be around tomorrow morning too.

Dinos Sfyris

Been away for a bit, has the last QF been played yet? I make the remaining games to be

Final QF: Craig Chittenden vs Chris Davies
Semi Final 2: QF winner vs Dinos Sfyris
Final: Matt Le Tass vs SF winner

Is that right?

Dinos Sfyris

Yeah what Ryan said. A brilliant game for so many reasons. Was sat in the staffroom watching this and was yelling at anyone who would listen that my mate was on the tv

Dinos Sfyris

Go on then I'll have a whack. I normally work Saturday nights but will slog through as much as I can in the day.

Lots of missed 7s in the first one. Just as well the last one wasn't crucial as the lag was pretty bad.

Me 2 - 0 Feisty in the junior tots competition. Here are the games:

Andrew 65 - 105 Dinos
Dinos 117 - 87

We both missed loads in the first game so the second game proved a lot more satisfying, but not as satisfying as Andrew's Italian sausage and pepper sandwich.

I'll be on apterous tomorrow evening from about 6 if you can make it.

Jason is still very much alive and kicking on facebook. It seems he's rechannelled his enthusiasm for Countdown and is now much more interested in my, ahem... "sweet as baklava bride" (His words not mine!)

Insane game for mine and Michael's quarter-final. A simple misclick cost Michael a tie, and even a double max game! Very unlucky my blindy friend xx

No idea mate. I just turned up to the quiz what there just was.

Dinos Sfyris

I just did a tryout quiz for University Challenge. I did alright on the science and GK quiz scoring 19/50. The arts, music and humanities section was a bit more daunting. Luckily I knew what a MUSTELID was though and it boosted my score by 20% from 5/50 to 6/50

Cheers everyone for all the kind words. I've never been so happy as the moment I saw Emma in her dress on Saturday morning. Absolutely beautiful, and I get to spend the rest of my life with her.
