Ooh, an accolade!

Glad you posted that Adam, because I fell for it completely and was about to kick off a bit. What a tit.

Chris Davies

Oh my god Dinos. I'm so sorry that happened to you

That's so terrible. I was fuming just reading it.

Chris Davies

My best play within the last year was probably ACUITIES across two triples for 149 points, through a C which was placed in the previous turn.

Chris Davies

Marc... I just don't understand. Why have you not got over the whole Sanctum business, and why are you still here arguing with certain members of C4C? You're never going to get on. It's just no way to spend your time. There are people who like or love you - invest your time in them , ignore those wh...

SAUDADE was there in round 6.

Chris Davies

Nope, never done it. I've had plenty of opportunities to but I doubt I ever will.

Chris Davies

EARDRUMS in round 9. Awesome spot Eoin.

Chris Davies

TALAPOINS was there in round 4.

You sure about that, Chris I don't think Jeff does Countdown Saturdays.............

I may have meant May 11th. Edited to make you look silly

Chris Davies

Who's going to watch the recordings? I'm there on May 11th for the last two quarters, the semis and the final. Can't choose between my 'epic cunt' or 'I conquered the world by winning Countdown' T-shirts though.

Chris Davies

Cheers

I hadn't realised. I'm keen to know what I got the gold bug for all that time ago though.

Chris Davies

Hardly a bug, but the home page still says 'Bold shows bronze pencils (from ODE games)' under the 'latest pencils' table.

Chris Davies

I took my girlfriend out for a meal at a fairly expensive restaurant, and she got me these. Not sure who was more happy.

Chris Davies

1. The Bottom Line - Spock's Beard
2. Prodigal - Porcupine Tree
3. Perfect Tense - Kino
4. Open Mind - Blackfield
5. Comatose - Enchant

In a Lockdown letters round, the dictionary corner guest dialogue read:
"I couldn't find a nine this time, but I did better than these guys with SHMEARING".

Chris Davies

On a similar theme to my original post, I've just met Jon Stitcher at my local. I knew he lived in the Wirral but didn't realise quite how close. Nice guy.

BALAFON was there in round 6, and UNNAILED in round 8.

Chris Davies

I enjoyed having a stab at this. I have little experience of cryptic crosswords and only managed about 7 answers.

Chris Davies

Why not?

Chris Davies

Cheers for that Matt

Chris Davies

What if you already have a picture of yourself on apterous but think it's a bit rubbish? If I can replace my current one, this one will do.

Chris Davies

Superb game. I was sitting on the sidelines with a few of the crew during this game (someone took my seat) and when Jack said MARCASITE, there was a resounding 'wtf' from them all! Jack and Eoin, you are both awesome. Extra special thanks to Marcus, who saw to it that I got a ticket, after they had ...

Chris Davies 170 - 150 Adam Gillard

Cheers Adam

Chris Davies

Chris Davies 180 - 160 Ben Wilson
The Eye of apterous gave my chances of winning this one as 1%, which equates to about the same odds that Ben gave that I would re-apply for Countdown as a woman.
Going out to buy 8 dresses tomorrow

Chris Davies

I always thought of the sanctum as a place for idle chat about things/people with no consequences on what you said, which means you'd sometimes say a lot of things you didn't truthfully mean just for the sake (like Jono said) shock humour. On the whole, I don't regret what I put in there. I say thi...

Chris Davies

I can see how one post by me in that thread surprised you (my view about conquering the world by winning Countdown etc.) which I did think at the time after reading your Facebook post and since I'd only met you once before I didn't have much to go on. Obviously I saw you just 2 weeks ago today and ...

Think I rather surprised Chris by telling him he'd qualified for this, so I took advantage quickly before he really understood what was happening.

Haha, love it! Really, you're just far better than me at Hyper numbers. Well played

Chris Davies

It seems to have all started because Jon Corby hated my cheating in my earliest days on apterous. Yes, I did, and I denied it, and I'm very sorry to everyone for that. Cheating is for bastards, and I was a bastard. Lots of the comments I have read, pre 2010, were in relation to my cheating, and are...

I've just had it brought to my attention by Kirk that there were Internet forum threads dedicated to my hatred which had been reposted on gandiseeg.com. I can't believe this has been going on for so long and I didn't know. I also can't believe how many misconceptions about me have been expressed. Th...

Left it too late to get tickets.

Amazing stuff, many congratulations! I'm so disappointed I won't be at the finals.

"fucking countdown nerd cunt" says Danny Darkslide Corcoran. I wonder what he's ever achieved though - probably shit all.

NOUMENAL in round 6.

Chris Davies

I was in the audience for this game. There was a few brilliant Martha moments which didn't make it to the edit. In one round (the ROMANCES round I think) she asked for a final consonant, which would have made only 2 in total, so she was prompted to say 'And vowel please, Rachel'. The cameras started...

Liking the new arrangment of links in the top right corner of the website when logged in, but when clicking on your name it may be easy to miss and accidentally click 'Logout', so maybe the logout link ought to trigger a Javascript function (or something else) to say 'Are you sure you want to logout...

Chris Davies

The only reason I didn't mention Apterous was because if any of my friends or family had have been watching (indeed the whole school is!) I wouldn't want them to know that I spend my time playing Countdown on the computer, which I would have been embarrassed by. I know you probably think that's wei...

Chris Davies

That was stunning, well done

Excellent debut and I'm really looking forward to watching the rest.

Chris Davies

I did (75+9)*(7+5)-50-5 for the second numbers to get it exactly. Watching on +1 so I'm not sure whether Rachel will solve it after the break.

Throughout school (primary and secondary), my WORST day was always Tuesday for whatever reason - history lessons, scripture lessons, games lessons, all of which I hated with a burning passion. I voted for Monday.

BTW what was the timeframe between first contact (IM or text) to actual gf/bf status? About a month, but she'd just come out of a bad relationship and said at first that she wasn't looking for a relationship just yet (although, me being me, I assumed it was just a polite rejection). She originally ...

I met my girlfriend on plentyoffish.com . Our 1st anniversary is in two weeks. :D Best of luck Marc, really hope it works out for you! Jeff says in his book that you "even managed to score a girlfriend" through the show. Is this true? I think having been on Countdown helped me find the co...

Have we got any vegetarians on the board? We should have a thread on that. Idiots. Vegetarianism, purely as a dietary paradigm, is fine by me but don't get me started on militant vegetarians/vegans who claim that 'meat is murder'. Incidentally, I did have a Venus Flytrap as a kid, they're awesome.

Chris Davies

I was given an ambulance in round 11 of this game

Chris Davies

Hardly a big deal, but I didn't get a soapy mouth for this round!

Chris Davies

QUANTUS is listed as valid on apterous and CountMax, but I can't find it in the ODE and definitions of the word on the Internet seem to be non-existent.

My dad has just suggested Rolf Harris as a DC guest. Good idea, I reckon.

The key here is that if the coin lands on tails, you wake up twice . If heads, you wake up only once. So when you wake up, 2 times out of 3 the coin will have landed on tails. I still can't get my head around this though (the second problem). Probability is mind-boggling. Edit: After a re-read of so...

I got 14. Expected it to be a little higher, especially as I've been asked more than once whether I'm autistic.
