Re: Best ever contestants
If you're going by what they were like when they were on the show I fail to see on what basis you could place Conor as high as 2nd. I don't think you could point to a patch of games and say he was particularly exceptional there. Well, he was pretty exceptional for most of the games he played in and...

Re: Wild Fungi
Interesting. There is also 'Chicken of the Woods', which does look quite tasty:
I suppose there are a few types of mushroom that taste like chicken.
One day I would like to try living in the woods for a few months consuming only fungi and water.

Re: Wild Fungi
is there any real differences between Mushrooms and Toadstools? I think that a toadstool is distinguished by its round and fleshy head, and general thickness. Example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire/content/images/2006/10/25/toadstool_400x300.jpg You could imagine a toad just sitting on it. A ...

For the record, I do intend to make a thread about your penis, but that will obviously go in the 'Countdown - Spoilers' section, not here.

Does anyone else here have an interest in wild fungi? Recently I have become interested. I have come across a lot of Birch Polypores in local woodlands lately. Some of you may know this fungus as the 'Razor Strop Fungus' or 'Birch Bracket'. According to my book it's too tough to eat, but I have read...

Maybe it's better if the subject of the joke (Jono) doesn't get the joke, so at least he won't get upset about it.David O'Donnell wrote: Pick on someone who gets the joke or you're just a bully.
At least me, you and Jason Larsen can have a laugh about this at Jono's expense, because we all understand it.

I think it has something to do with the intelligence difference between Americans and the British. I read somewhere that the average American's IQ is something like 20 points lower than the average Briton's. Personally I don't care for IQ tests, but it's a known fact that most people in the world co...

I insulted Corby because I thought he was posting as 'Richard Brittain' ('The Fake Richard Brittain'). I now know that it was in fact Jonathan O'Neill. I have insulted O'Neill and apologised to Corby, both in private.

Jason, I had already said in your other thread that I was no longer interested in competing in your game.
