Spoilers for Tuesday 21st August 2018 (Series 79, Prelim 40)

Post by Thomas Carey »

It's Adam Rolston's sixth game. Will he be the first octochamp of the series? Will he lose his last heat game like those other guys? Who knows. Might not even get there. Whack on channel 4 right now to see how he does today.

Took me an embarrassingly long time to remember what NEUROMAS + T was...
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

It's listed as a mass noun in the free version. What's the reason for allowing it? (It's on Apterous, just for the record.)

TOWAGES has been on apterous since the beginning. It was last offered by DC in 2005 (http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_3930).
I suspect the second definition of being a charge for something, e.g. HAULAGE/CAKEAGE, used to be one of the sort of mass nouns you could pluralize.

This was the way my mum did it, she promptly felt very proud of herself for getting one right :)
