Re: Spoilers for Wednesday January 25th 2012 (Series 66 Game
Maybe Mark had had enough of being patronised by Nick Hewer. Any ambition i had to apply for the show has wilted since he arrived.

Re: Do you still watch Countdown?
i watch it every day but never live. can't stand the inane chat, boring guests (with the exception of Dr Phil), origins of words and adverts. Reckon the whole show takes me 20 minutes to watch. I play along but just to get in some practice for Apterous.

Re: Spoilers For The Stelling Swansong (Series 65 Grand Fina
A great final. I was rooting for Graeme because I feel I know him from Apterous, but Carl played his part and was gracious in defeat.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday December 15th 2011
I enjoyed today's semi, not just for the great play but for the spirit in which it was played. Yesterday's was uncomfortable to watch so I hope Graeme can inject some of his enthusiasm into the final.

Sorry that Nikki didn't make it to Octochamp but I hope she makes the finals. It would be nice to have two women there for a change. Ccongratulations Anne, though. Good to see a fellow Geordie doing well. (I don't count Dave as he's from Sunderland)

Two very good contestants today, but both faded a bit as the game went on. Well done Jayne. When Susie said you'd been watching your Countdown, she should have said you'd been playing your Apterous.

It's like the old days when you didn't have to be well-nigh infallible to win a few games. I think they're trying to avoid making it the TV spin-off of Apterous.
