I think we should make it so that it IS up to Graeme. Seems like the best way forward.

Mark Deeks

Me, obviously.

Mark Deeks

Balls to numbers. Also, the absolute top player is the ultimate wordsmith, and which I get that this is an outlier, it's a pretty sodding big one.

And KENT. It's part of a girl, I am told.

Did he stand you on date night again, Matt? What a ballbag.

Mark Deeks

Oh. What about Amazon? Or Greece? Burgers have Greece in.

Mark Deeks

If you'd go for it on Apterous, go for it on the show. (Except DOTAGES, MOHAIRS and OUTSETS.) And if it's not valid, ah well, so be it.

Mark Deeks

Oh oh, I got one - Hungary, as in, I'm Hungary and would like food.

Mark Deeks

Ooooh, pressure.

What about Oxford, is that a country?

I've got it!

Mark Deeks

People will love you regardless, Oli. Go for it. No regrets.

Mark Deeks

Comedy first, actually work it out later.

Now you're getting it.

Mark Deeks

Well now this is becoming a spam thread.

Mark Deeks

Hi Graham Virtue! You have a great name. Please let's not have RayRi ever catch on, though.

Mark Deeks

Then your life goes on in the same blissful ignorance it carried you to this point in. I thought you were interested in me as a human being, but I guess now I know better don't I. *picks up ball and leaves*

Someone could always arrange a 60-66 CoC on Apterous if there's that much clamour for one.

Not fair on Carl.

No Rhys, you gleeful pot stirrer you. I wouldn't get into a CoC anyway

Mark Deeks

should be given priority

Didn't say this.

Mark Deeks

The three current poll leaders are the three correct answers.

Mark Deeks

Then surely the 30th BC didn't suffice as a CoC. I get that it had elements of it, but it wasn't one, and nor was its guest list.

Mark Deeks

If that's the case, why therefore would those not invited to the 30th BC now be considered candidates for a future CoC? Can't have it both ways. It either sufficed, or it didn't.

Mark Deeks

The 30th BC wasn't equal to a CoC. A CoC is supposed to feature the best of the best. The 30th BC didn't - it featured some of the best of the best, but some who definitely weren't, some who had had CoC's of their own, and some who never would have done. It was an anomaly, a one off, and should be t...

Mark Deeks

I don't agree that series 60-67 were covered by the Supreme Championship, to be honest.

Mark Deeks

I mean, I don't like or respect it as a business model, but I want them to do it anyway, for you, because you're earning it.

Mark Deeks

I'm actually rooting for you now, Gev. I hope they give you a free room just for your sheer tenacity.

Mark Deeks

The knowledge that you got up early on Boxing Day especially just to mash the Travelodge refresh button is happy knowledge to have.

Mark Deeks

Seems you can save further money Jon by just getting a room with Michelle, you big gaybos.

Mark Deeks

Don't help them, Michelle! Let them squirm!

Mark Deeks

For the record, Martin Sinclair was Dylan posting under a false name.

Mark Deeks

See, to me, people remember Giles and Ed and Jack. Beautiful people, too. Certainly amongst the most attractive contestants of all time, if not the most. Martin, Giles did all that he had to do to win. He outscored his opponent in the final, Martin. It doesn't matter, Martin, that he didn't outscor...

Mark Deeks

Martin Sinclair wrote:But yeah, I can totally understand why some of you don't feel Dylan should be #1.

Nor do you, by the sounds of it, Martin.

Mark Deeks

Giles probably shouldn't have won his series final, statistically.

Why do you say that, Martin?

Mark Deeks

So what makes Jack Hurst third? Giles Hutchings, for example, recorded 94 maxes and won the series. Edward McCullagh recorded 95 and won his series. Why do you feel as though Jack Hurst had the second best statistics? Where do your yardsticks lie here, Martin?

Mark Deeks

Why's Dylan not the best ever, then?

Mark Deeks

Don't be afraid. Post it. I'd like to hear it!

Mark Deeks

Again though, Martin, that feels strongly like a contrived metric. To say that Dylan's 140 out of 165 is of more importance than winning a series in determining greatness is to say that meeting the threshold of an arbitrary, strained, artifical measurement is more valuable than beating the opponent....

Mark Deeks

I appreciate that, yet it seems like an arbitrary distinction. Indeed, the entire metric seems somewhat arbitrary. From this end, it seems like a convoluted means of finding ways to list Dylan at the top of something, via what ever criteria are necessary. Therefore, in light of all that which your f...

Mark Deeks

I've just done some research on something which I'm sure many will have briefly thought about doing (apologies if it already has and I'm an idiot). It's the calculation for what your score would've been if your opponent maxed every single round throughout. So, the way to do this is by taking all th...

I took Neil Zussman's place on the University of Warwick bowling team.

Mark Deeks

I met Alex McKenzie a couple of days ago so I thought I'd check out how he did, if you were wondering why the hell this was bumped.

Mark Deeks

What's wrong with lagers?

Conor has his own Wikipedia entry. Now that's fame.

That's 217

Mark Deeks

I blame Claire, she overordered. Anyhoo, this is not the point. I challenge someone to this, an arbitrary contest with no prize. Who wants it?

Mark Deeks

I've only ever lost once. Foolishly had a starter.

Mark Deeks

I'm not THAT good. I just have completely unjustified confidence in my ability to eat way too much for the purposes of proving points to nobody.

Mark Deeks

I'll give you a headstart. I'll have a starter.

Mark Deeks

You win. Enjoy your hollow victory.

Mark Deeks

Gev, as long as it doesn't involve carrots or pineapple, you can make every rule of this that you want, to suit your every whim.

Mark Deeks

Yes, but that very statement alone tells me you've pretty much already made it.

Mark Deeks

That's only a problem if you lose. Which you will, obviously.

Mark Deeks

I dunno, I forgot. But you were up for it at one point and then backed down because you weren't feeling the competitive element.

Mark Deeks

Fine by me. I bet Gevin won't play though. Pre-emptive booing. Booooooooo!

Mark Deeks

So Gev are we doing that eating competition this year?

Mark Deeks

To be fair, he was never going to be, you know, a looker. He was never going to be somebody like a Mark Foster, he was never going to be 5ft 11, he was never going to be somebody with long legs, so he had to compensate for that.

Mark Deeks

I haven't got one number yet.

Mark Deeks

I seem to have it the other way around.
