can Warren pull something out of the hat? Hmm, there must be some kind of rabbit pun in there.

Charlie, you're a bunny guy!

But this is Countdown not the Russell Brand Show!

Well done Junaid. Enjoyed the nervous game. Tony played very well.

Was a bit surprised to see you both though. Was I the only one expecting Steve Briers vs Debbi Flack?!

i beat junaid but forgot by what and can't be bothered to check.

And nobody cares.

That's a bit harsh. Junaid's a quality player and if people feel good about beating him from home, let them come somewhere (and where other than a Countdown forum) to brag about it.

I'm trying not to boast i'm just saying, because Dinos said how he got on, that I thought I'd join in. I don't mind if nobody cares. Thanks Kirk for backing me up anyway.

Not too bothered either way to be honest, although you have to be cautious when comparing against contetants on the show. For example, I chose not to risk BEDTIME in one round since Tony had 5. You would score me as having a 6, but if you declared >5 I'd no doubt have gone for the 7. In other words, the playing safe option isn't taken into account and this often changes the whole complexion of a game.

Anyway, well done to a seemingly nervous Junaid, and also to Tony - you did better than you think (unless your cat is a future series champion). Those two difficult numbers games played into Junaid's hands, and your made-up R13 word was a tactical gamble worth going for (what with beating Junaid on the final numbers rather improbable). SEIGNEUR was quality too! Good effort mate.
