Re: Spoilers for Thursday 5th February 2009

Has anyone ever actually passed comments on these ridiculous posts of yours? They're not hurting anyone. Actually my finger slipped when I frantically scrolled down to avoid seeing today's post and subsequently fell onto the sharp end of a pencil. It still hurts. All together now..... aaaahhhhhhh

Re: Jeff, Rachel, contestants checking

Sorry Kirk. I should have said it can physically be done. I didn`t make it clear enough. Thanks, though, for confirming that contestants are expected to liaise with each other. It really can't. I tried leaning over to Jeff to touch him as he is my new hero and I couldn't get near him. I then got es...

Jeff, I do know what Coronation Street is. We get CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation since we are so close to the Canadian border and it comes on every weeknight at 7:00.

It is followed by US Jeopardy.
It's good to know you share our pain :lol:

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

It would be interesting to know how many people have joined the forum since Charlie has been plugging it.

From my point of view it has added another dimension just reading what the champs have been up to over the years. It is just a pity that we won't see their like again.

Hi guys A post or two short of when I should have posted on here.......

Jeff obviously "knows" what is going on, no one can beat Richard in my eyes but Jeff is a sure fire winner after Des O.
