Oh my goodness :!: :shock: :o There was me being so confident when Jonathan got FLEAPITS that it was game, set and match. I also thought he'd get UNBIASED too.

Rather than waste starting another spoiler thread, I thought I'd add today's main info to the prelim spoiler thread. We have yet another new champion in Ryan Loughborough, who doesn't come from Loughborough or attended Loughborough University. Well, hardly anyone does what their surname suggests do ...

Replace the numbers with letters so you can play Countdown. Ideas for positions of letters please. There are 20 numbers, so get rid of the 6 worst letters, so bye bye J, Q, V, W, X, Z. Then A=1, B=2, C=3, etc., all the way up to Y for 20. And if you hit doubles or trebles, then 2 or 3 of that lette...

The halfway point of the year is upon, and with no football for a couple of days, us English can enjoy the cricket, while the Brits can enjoy the tennis. And for those of you not interested in sport, there's Countdown to keep you entertained. 8-) The champions' chair merry-go-round seems to be in fu...
