Desperate Dan, I'm afraid. Christ, I was shite.

Dan McColm

This sounds like fun. And it reminds me that my Vodkanundrum Open Challenge is yet to be accepted: It's called the Vodkanundrum Challenge. 20 conundrums and a big old bottle of vodka. Ten seconds per round. Whoever gets the conundrum has to down a shot of vodka. If neither player gets it in ten sec...

Unless of course you're joking about the joke in which case the joke is on me.

Yeah, I was basically laughing at myself for being a retard.

Dan McColm

^^ I don't think it's that shocking a spoiler to say which date I'm on.

Dan McColm

Who's the guest? Andrew Castle, is it?

Dan McColm

Oh dear, shocking error from me. You'll see plenty more shocking errors from me on Thursday, though (not necessarily a spoiler)

Dan McColm

I'm appearing on the show soon and my friends at uni suggested I come up with a drinking game so we could watch my episode(s) together and make it a bit more interesting. Basically, I browsed a few of the already existing drinking games, and modified them slightly, and made up some of my own rules a...

Dan McColm

You've got a fairly decent rating already. Give it 6 months or so and you'll be certain to win a few games!

Dan McColm

And why can't Andrew Castle sit still in the chair?

Dan McColm

If Countdown used www.urbandictionary.com to adjudicate words, Andy would've been in luck - chaviots is in. It's a portmanteau of 'chav' and 'chariot'.

An E picked from the consonant box in this video

Dan McColm

Good comeback there from Ned. Bet Mike will be gutted, as that game really should've been his. 20 points thrown away on 2 easy 4-large

Dan McColm

Am thinking about auditioning for this - what happens at the audition?

Dan McColm

Call it a hunch, but I think there'll be an apterite on tomorrow

Dan McColm

Taking the mick out of Thatcher... my, how Countdown's changed! This Andy bloke isn't bad, he could go far.

Dan McColm

Was definitely worth a punt at that 8

Dan McColm

Yep, definitely one of my favourite contestants, along with Peter Godwin, Jack Hurst, Kirk and Mike Lear.

Dan McColm

I love how the mum is outraged and yet sells the story to the Sun, of all papers.

Fair point

Dan McColm

A couple gems from Openbook:

Joanne Revill: "Bethany got the countdown conundrum before the brainy contestant did - just picked myself up off the floor"
Stephen Machon: "OVERSEAS......Yeah i got the countdown canundrum." (reference to the teaser)

Was this in the ELOPES round? There was only one P

Dan McColm

Feel sorry for Andy, would've beaten Tom Rowell had Susie disallowed SAUTEE, and comes up against another octochamp second time round.

I think it was an archaic form of "schrieb", the imperfect of "schreiben".

Das war sehr beeindruckend. Ich schriebe auf Deutsch, weil ich sehr betrunken bin.

Dan McColm

Nice solid century, well played.

Dan McColm

Great day's play! Pleased Rangers won on Wednesday too.

Dan McColm

I have plenty!

My friends have been teasing me about my Alzheimer's recently. Joke's on them, though, I don't even have a toaster.

Ditto, a very strong player and a top lad to boot. Here's to 5 more games of Edward!

Dan McColm

Ed, what did you say to the challenger after the 3rd numbers game?

Dan McColm

Awesome performance, Ed

Dan McColm

Wow, nice high-scoring contest! Well done, Ed.

Dan McColm

Leeds is pretty easy to get to for me, so I'd definitely be up for it.

TORSADES also as a DC-equaller.

Had all the books as a kid, but never actually seen the TV show. Might start watching it as I loved the books.

(75 - 6/6) x 7 = 518

Perfect preparation for CoLin this weekend.

Max game for me too, apart from GUENONS.

Love the challenger's accent.

Managed to get 574 in the time using Matt's method

Dan McColm

They made a such a dog's dinner of the numbers. (100 + 7) x 3 really isn't that difficult!

Dan McColm

So excellent octochamp run, Adam. Well done on making the 900. I have to admit watching that game, I did think you were trying your best times not to get 900. When a top player misses a word like DRAINING, I often think to myself that it's these top players that are above writing the letters down i...

Yeah I offered PARGET on TV - it's nice.

Yep, that's where I got it from. VIBRIOS came up yesterday as well I think, how odd!

Adam would've beaten me on a crucial here.

I just took a well needed revision break to watch this episode. What an awesome show.

Apterous is such an efficient way to practise, that I can't see anyone being better than an Apterite. I might be wrong, though!

Dan McColm

Great game! Really well done to both contestants. To play as well as that with all the pressure of a final is just insane. I hope next series is as good as this one has been.
