Not saying it's cruel or whatever but I have a strong objection to the top knobs exercising their power and deciding that a minority sport (or any sport) should take precedence over a regular programme that thousands enjoy.
If you want Cheltenham go to bloody Cheltenham.

Not in. Come on, how long have you been posting here?

You know how long so your are clearly telling me off in a sarcastic manner!

John Bosley

So not only is Rachel made to look small and out of touch by not liking horse racing, we are all forced have it on instead of Countdown - unbelievable.

Does this mean that it was edited out or no-one dare say it?

I suppose it's only unfair the first time you take out insurance because, as someone said, it then depends on your claims record. It would probably go up immediately after you made your first claim and if you had a major write off it could go up a huge amount.....or have I missed the point?

John Bosley

Prison is a punishment but it is not only that. It should be a method of re-educating, changing attitudes and so on. Having the right to vote is only part of this. We are not only talking about murderers either. What about single mothers who have repeatedly failed to pay for a TV licence? What about...

Could he do it and stay with Countdown?

I agree with Ryan (for once) about Maitland - a pompous twat.

John Bosley

Is Ryan funny or tasteless ?

Rather a sexist question - and no-one has mentioned legs!

OUTSOARED for 9 in Round 1 - or am I wrong?

John Bosley

Thanks for this Lesley:- Sticking anything in your ears isn't illegal, but going through red temporary traffic lights is. (Law changed in 1994.) If you get nicked for it, you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later r...

John Bosley

Does Charlie realise that all this sanctum chat in open forum is guaranteed to make some of us feel a bit left out and therefore a bit less happy about using the bloody forum at all.
One 'sanctum' I am in has a sacrosanct understanding that anyone who breaks the 'code' is OUT. No-one does.

John Bosley

Going through temporary traffic lights when they are on red and sticking anything at all in your ears are both equally dangerous, but neither are illegal. Didn't quite catch that - can you say that again? Going through temporary traffic lights when they are on red and sticking anything at all in yo...

I think Spikey is quite funny, but I have to say (and here I go again !) that it sems they say a fair bit about celebs' former appearances while hiding the facts about contenders who have been on before. Now let's see what rubbish comes out in support of this. Of course, I realise that I am alone he...

John Bosley

I'll shut up about it now - unless of course anyone else wants to join in. I think it would be wrong of me not to say that I largely agree with you, John. Whether I'm the ally you really want is less certain. When Bruce Lambert got his 2nd/3rd chance it was openly talked about (a first for the show...

John Bosley

Is glaciates a word? If it is a 9 in round 9 No . Please check words before you post them. Yes it is a word. It is just that Countdown is a world on its own. Glaciate means to polish by ice action, to subject to the action of land ice; to freeze. By all means say it is not a word that Countdown acc...

John Bosley

OMG what's the big fucking deal? I'm sure if James didn't mention it in the very first spoiler thread then you wouldn't have even known anyway and it wouldn't have bothered you. And I'm sure that any Countdown viewer who does actually remember that Marcus appeared 3 times back in nineteen-ninety-pi...

John Bosley

I not only find it odd that Marcus's 'previous' was not even mentioned but I felt slightly uncomfortable. I felt something was wrong.
I felt sorry for Jeff because he was obviously under instructions.
It felt dishonest even.

John Bosley

Congratulations, but I find it odd that no mention is made, on the programme, of past glories. Why not?

As James Robinson said on the 1st Nov - (He is) a 2 times champion, albeit it from 14 years ago, our very own Marcus Hares, who won 2 shows in Series 32, back in 1996.

John Bosley

I realise that Countdown needs to stick to one dictionary - but the OED is not my cuppa t. You cannot blame Susie for what she is given to work with.

As a verb (in Chambers), repute means "to account, deem" - I know that is of no interest to Countdowners but it is to me.

John Bosley

Why argue about all this stuff, Damian? You are the main man and I think it's pretty good or I would not watch it.
There are bits here and there that might be tweeked, but its only a bloody game put on between adverts aimed at the ill, the old and the gullible - or all three. I am mainly just old.

John Bosley

It didn't let me vote (again). Anyway I spent my hour going round changing 13 bloody clocks - except the cooker which I couldn't be bothered to change last time and so it is now right. I also vented my opinion about changing the bloody clocks at all and would welcome some success this time to the pa...

John Bosley

Hello there, John. What actually is this Countdown you are always watching?
Oh it's a game with lots of letters and words all jumbled up and largely quite meaningless
Well what exactly is that c4countdown forum you go on?
Oh ! That's the same.

John Bosley

Just think, if Countdown hadn't disassociated itself from this forum, then this thread would more than likely run into dozens of pages in length. Never mind eh. Talk amongst yourselves. ;) As a newishbie here and one without all the inner knowledge that many of you guys have (not counting Damian, w...

I like thorough criticism; I get it all the time. However, it is all a matter of opinion and no-one has to sign summat they don't want to. I did.
I guess I should give my side of the argument, but I am not a scientist and will only make myself look even more stupid.

You can buy, or make, a hook with hooks on for hanging belts by their buckles. The top hook would be like that on a coathanger to hook over the bar and the other hooks could be very small - perhaps running down a chunk of wood that has the big hook in the top.

Raw porridge oats with fresh fruit and nuts and seeds. Posh word is muesli.
Make it myself with no sugar and sometimes add a handfull of bite size shredded wheat. Shredded wheat (small or large) is the only cereal I know that has absolutely nothing added.
