[Toby McDonald]

MALKIES in R8
TODEAS in R10

[Ronan M Higginson]

was going to do the spoilers thread for today but got beaten to it

Would've beaten Paul 117-78 and Dave 122-32

[Harry Savage]

Also ODDEST in R10, which seemed like an obvious spot?

[Neil Bellers]

Hello again everyone from Neil B. I may have imagined it, but there was a 1st October Countdown shown sometime on Tuesday
(I don't think I am allowed to begin a Spoiler page by myself) ?
That's because on my 'workings' I had written (8*4)-3=29*25=725-(9/9) and as I mentioned many moons ago when I first
submitted a comment on the 'welcome' page, claimed my bonus biscuit from the tin for using all the numbers =724.
Can anyone check this total for me please ?
Also, I still wanted to ask about whether there is an 'Oxford Referendum' for the Dictionary which takes place every time
a two-word phrase is suggested as becoming a more Germanic-style one-word joined together eg tea bag = teabag
(ie who agrees to all this, and do we really have to respect that decision in general usage = yes I am a revolting Remainer !?),
and when oh when is 'Druid' going to have the option of starting with a lower-case d, which has fooled a few in the past ?

You should be able to unless you've been specifically banned for bad behaviour!
