What do people think of the new round 2? I have just watched show 1 (Monday) and thought it was an extremely hard category! If you haven't seen it, you had to identify films from their (not so obvious) tag lines. FWIW we got three pointless answers on the final question as it was a category we'd re...

This. He's the Nikki Sellars of series 63.

So we should expect a lovely friendly bufty forumite to lose to him on a crucial in one of his remaining heats *cue Matt Morrison*

I scar Tim horrifically with this (8)

And one for MWM

Some one thank an inside advisor to President Taylor (5,5)

Lol at Gloria's genuine astonishment when Peter got UNVEILED

Hello and if you've just joined us welcome to the James show!

Haha nice. Especially love GONOLEKS and BREYANIS. I bet you shat your pants in the round where 4 was the max?

Weetabix ftw. Altho I normally go for Tesco Wheat Biscuits cos I'm a cheapo baby. 3xbiscuits, 1xchopped banana, a splash of milk and topped with a black cherry underlayer Muller Lite and berriez (of the black and blue variety) This is the breakfast of champions!

Jack beat me 2-1 with me desperately clutching to victory in the 2nd game despite a shoddy performance all round. Here are the games:

Actually fair point there was a drive-by shooting the week me and Emma moved into our digs, but as long as you're not in a gang or Somalian they leave you alone

Just watched on 40D, well done both, very enjoyable. Was Charlie imitating Hansford with "0 away"? I'm sure he was, but it would have meant little to Jeff and Rachel. Whereas Des O'Connor retained every quirky detail about each contestant during his time on the show and would have found i...

Will all the militant vegetarians please stop hijacking the thread. I seriously need to talk to Corby about the best way of feeding George's organically farmed dungeon children to my venus fly trap.

I just had the plural PRODIGIES as a conundrum in this game http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?ke ... 5254428662

Gilette Fusion.

Then you'd be wrong Dmitry. The Sydney Opera House is over 3 times taller.

Filthy bitch. She just sounds dirty.

Dinos Sfyris

Ah cute. I saw a similarly styled clue a while back, can't remember the exact wording but it was something like:

Best seller, he devastates saloons with abandon (4,6,3,6)

Sproiler: Again this might be a well-known anagram but I hadn't heard it.

ESTERIFY rd 12. Me and Hursty senior both enjoyed Will/Bill/Ken's senior moment with HAUNTER/HAUNTERS. Typical old person fail!

Haha 10 bonus points to anyone who actually read the entire OP

Dinos Sfyris

James you actually got 53. You forgot to give yourself a 5 point bonus for getting all 7. Well done

And Howard has matched Eoin. 39 is the score to beat

Here is the game I prepared for COLEI so that those who didn’t attend can play along. It is ingeniously called: Who knows the most about Countdowny people?

I managed to finish that one. Yay!

The lights dim down and the credits roll as Kai and Dinos start to buffoon about but then this big fucking shit advert for '10 Years Younger' covers half the TV screen meaning we can't see what they are pratting about at. A simple voice over about what's on later isn't good enough for Channel 4 the...

Dinos Sfyris

I'll post the clues from the Countdown: Who Am I? game later if anyone's interested

Dinos Sfyris

Something about an insect I think. The 3 answers were all some crazy word followed by either bee, moth or something else. We guessed moth, then bee and it was the something else and we lost. Loving ur new avi!

Dinos Sfyris

Oh, and there's nothing wrong with CONFITS Kirk. Haha yep was just about to mention that. There was a debate about this in Countmax Errors the week after I recorded. I'm sure if we're allowed 2 braised fennels we can order 2 duck confits as well, although maybe Susie felt sorry for me being on zero...

Dinos Sfyris

Cheers everyone for all the kind comments. I thought there might have been a few cringeworthy moments but Damian seems to have done a good job at editing out my ugly side! We both just went into the game wanting to enjoy it although I'd forgotten how daunting it is being in that chair and the compet...

Supoib event Jeff. I loved all the little side-attractions like DC et DL and 15 to 1. And well done to Rich for winning. The orgasmic look on your face when you solved PCWHISKER was priceless.

I am REALLY good at cryptic clues (for my age which is 6 and a half) I know theyr'e meant to make some sort of coherent sense but I think it's more important to be myself

Dinos Sfyris

Jeff if there's time alongside the 15-to-1 game and everything I've prepared a little team game to fill a gap. If there's no time I'm sure it'll make a fine distraction at the pub afterwards.

Dinos Sfyris

Gino. Settled. I must have missed Dave Spikey when he was on. Also it must be said Gary Osborne was a nice cheerful fella.

Epic game. Fair play Lesley and commiserations Micheal. Having missed the first special when it was broadcast it was nice to relive some of the zeitgeist from a fantastic recording day

I liked the Jimmy clue for No 10. Americanisms are fun.

Yep go on then

I've booked my train ticket now. I'll be on the same train as Jack, Kirky et al arriving 10.23. See you there

I think there's a small car park at the venue that probably fits around 30 cars and it was nearly empty last time IIRC except for c4cer cars.

Whenever I see the word CAPSTAN, it reminds me of those old tape recorders for compact cassettes. It always reminds me of this old man from Rotherham called Stan who wore a cap and always had a brown paper bag full of toffees and would offer you one every time you saw him. "Stan Stan the toffe...
