This isn't a proposal to run a tournement, but I was thinking earlier that apart from the younger players like Kai and Eoin; most aptoforumites are at or have been to university. Therefore I was wondering which one, so we could have a discussion about who would hypothetically win a University Challe...

Douglas Wilson

Why have you semi-retired from recapping Ryan?

Douglas Wilson

Is this special just a one off, or were a couple recorded at the same time for broadcast at various points of the year?

Douglas Wilson

Lamb Stew and a bit of Veg tonight.

Over to you...

Douglas Wilson

Tonight I'm having homemade cottage pie with veg.

Over to you?

By the way I think MM had the nicest sounding dinner/tea last time.

Douglas Wilson

I did this one before and it went quite well.

Tonight I'm having a Prawn Curry with Boiled Rice.

Over to you?

Douglas Wilson

Sorry if this is a bit crass, but with this being a male dominated forum I thought it would be above board.

So I was wondering when you/someone else farts what do you like smell to be.

You can discuss if further if your mood/the company or environment you're in changes your opinion.

Douglas Wilson

I will be attending a low key party at a friends.

What will YOU be doing and more importantly how much will you drink?!?!?

Douglas Wilson

I've noticed that so far the higher seed has always been sat in the Champions Chair. Is this coincidence that they've always won/lost the coin toss or is it procedure as of this series?

Douglas Wilson

Obviously we've had a lot of high profile departures from the forum and apterous like Phil and Julie; but two people seem to have disapeared without anyone saying anything. First Jason Larsen who obviously posted one hell of a lot and Dale Levell who seemed to be more addicted to apterous than Russe...

No, Greg Hayhurst was stand in.

Despite only winning 5?

Douglas Wilson

If so what colour baseball style topman tee was he wearing?

Douglas Wilson

Two points.

a) Is 16 the lowest ever score in the 15 round era.
b) Why did no one correct Jeff when he called the audience member that solved the conundrum a women?

Douglas Wilson

I've just reviewed the photos of what looked a great event, but why is James wearing a different polo in Matt's as opposed to Chris' pics?

Douglas Wilson

If you went on Mastermind what would your specialist subject be?

Mine would be either The Inspiral Carpets (band) or Damien Hirst.

Douglas Wilson

Does anyone find it suprising that more people know that Petis Pois is a type of pea than that Man Utd are a former football league winner?

Douglas Wilson

Yeah I kind of meant want Charlie said as 'Countdown' being the umbrella heading of all the things he listed. Should have made that clearer.

Well, watching them anyway.

No offence James, but I didn't ask you to list your hobbies I wanted an actual rank

Douglas Wilson

Countdown is one of, if not my favourite tv shows; but I'm really on this forum just because I enjoy the quality of conversation and banter without it being too over the top. I've never had any inclinations to play along with the show or buy the board game or anything. Obviously some of you actually...

Douglas Wilson

Kai, I noticed during your run you played someone called Richard Pascoe. Can you remember much about him; age, appearance, where from etc? I used to work with someone of the same name I highly doubt it's them but would be good to know. Thanks.

Douglas Wilson

Following this quote from Marc Meakin: Ryan's recaps are the stuff of legend. Robiknson will have to up his game methiknks. on Monday's recap I decided to start a poll to decide who you're favourite is. Please base this purely on quality of recap (although you can choose the parameters) not who you ...

Douglas Wilson

Jason Larsen?

In the absence of many great posters recently Matthew Green, Julie T and Alec Rivers to name a few I think it's been brushed under the carpet that Jason hasn't been around for a while.

Is he cheating on us with a DOND forum?

Douglas Wilson

Game over, it's Jon Wynn

Douglas Wilson

Can't James or Kirk or someone else just reveal; no ones dog will die if they do.

A player who amused many viewers despite his problematic mental illness, versus Jeffrey Hansford. Yep, I'd watch that.

Possibly the funniest post I've read on this forum!

Douglas Wilson

Isn't this some kind of wind up; James said the player doesn't post on the forum which Ben clearly does.

Douglas Wilson

From scouring the ratings list and ruling out people who post on here and have been on the show before I'm guessing Michael Davidson?

Douglas Wilson

Like I've always said, no.2 seed by luck of the draw only! Lowest scoring octochamp ever and all that.. You won 8 games consecutively which is what every other person who is titled an octochamp has done. That in itself deserves credit despite all this nonsense about points tally etc. Fact is you wo...

Douglas Wilson

What happened to this guy?

Douglas Wilson

JANITOR as an equaller in round 4

Douglas Wilson

Well the line up has been confirmed, so now it's time for you to decide. If you already know the result either don't vote, or vote for who you honestly thought would win before you watched it (although that's slightly difficult since not all of the players had been on screen) Feel free to speculate ...

Douglas Wilson

Is it just me or does Scott look really like our favourite Yorkshire based, usual spoilers thread starter?

Douglas Wilson

Unless I'm mistaken (hopefully James will confirm) we should have a very good idea of the line up for the finals today. If Scott wins Claudia is safe as Scott or anyone else can't win enough before the series ends and if Dom wins today he will probably be in because even if he loses tomorrow he'll a...

Douglas Wilson

Should be a pretty epic game.

Douglas Wilson

Think HOARSER was there in the last letters round as well.

Isn't Scott Gillies on tomorrow?

Douglas Wilson

Well it's a new month and for many of us the start of a new working week. :| We do however have the same Champion as yesterday in the shape of Dominic Travers, do we know if he's any relation to the great Conor Travers :?: Regardless he'll be hoping to make it a 4 wins today and if he holds on til t...

Douglas Wilson

No, but I didn't realise that every job required more than being a graduate from a good university and a Countdown Series Champion (even at the second attempt)

Douglas Wilson

James Robinson wrote:Wow

It sounds so fantastic, Jeff.

Unfortunately, I'm heading off on holiday on that very day, so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pass on this one.

So sorry.

Hopefully everyone else will have a good time.

Anywhere nice?

Douglas Wilson

Huddlestone, Heskey, Warnock, Dawson, SWP, Barry, Johnson

Douglas Wilson

Just get a job Kirk and stop moaning.

Douglas Wilson

I eagarly await the views of Kirk and James on this.

Douglas Wilson

Thought this forum might be a good place for this question... I was playing the IT Box game 'Word Soup' in my local last night for the first time. If you're unfamiliar with the game, the interface is a large grid of random letters and you have to make words by connecting the letters. You score point...

Douglas Wilson

Well the week and month is coming to an end, but we have a nice bank holiday weekend to look forward to with the final of the World Championship Snooker for those that way inclined. Nicki wrapped up win number six yesterday in slightly unconvincing fashion but it propells her into the top 8, which m...

Douglas Wilson

Well the winner of Series 62 was crowned yesterday, but only a lucky few know.

Could we be watching the winner today in Nikki, a win today or a defeat with a score of 86 or more will see her enter the top 8 at least temporarily.

Will you be resigning from Charlie's other website also?

Douglas Wilson

From what I've got from people talking on Apterous, we've possibly got Scott Gillies, but he's actually busy recording at the moment, but I believe he can't win enough to be in the Series 62 finals, so assuming he wins all his games, he'd carry over into Series 63. No guarantee obviously. Craig sai...

Douglas Wilson

Suprised you didn't mention Huddersfield's impressive win at the weekend James. How will you choose between CoLON and the P/O final assuming they get there ? Bad spelling there, Douglas. I thought that people might be bored if I kept on mentioning the brilliant 6-0 win over Stockport County at the ...

Douglas Wilson

Maybe you haven't understood the question David. I simply mean is the levell Dale is at now higher/lower/about the same than when the three afore mentioned (the best three players of the recent era) first went on the show?

Douglas Wilson

Is Dale Levell better now than when Chris/Craig/Kirk etc were when they went on?

Douglas Wilson

Well the climax of Series 62 will be recorded today and tomorrow and a select group of lucky people are in Manchester watching it unfold. The rest of us will have to make do with the latest prelim edition of Series 62 which features 3 time winner Nicki who may or may not be back recording today. She...

I should have explained this is the original post but I forgot: I voted 'no' and I constructed the poll in the hope in an annoymas poll that people would give their true opinion. I know I might have sounded harsh in the 'name my child' thread, but that was my honest opinion. Overall I think Julie is...

As requested...

Douglas Wilson

Well the victor of Tyson got served a knock out blow yesterday by the impressive Nicki. Will she carry on the recent good form shown by the female contingent or will we be ending the week with a new champ?

Douglas Wilson

So Claudia made it a double hatrick yesterday and securing her place as statistically the second best female player in the Stelling/Riley era. Can she make progress in her quest to become the number one and with it the second octochamp of the series or will she fall at number six like everyone's fav...

Douglas Wilson
