Spoilers For Friday November 12th 2010

Post by James Robinson »

So, our new champion is Nicky Miller, who won with relative ease, it has to be said, against Huddersfielder Bernice Mitchell. Could he possibly be the 7th octochamp of this series :?:

I don't know, but we all might have more of an idea when the show is on later.

And join Mike even later than that for the recap of the show. 8-)

Why? - You can check them for me and give me a row if they are wrong.

FYI it is in here - so there!

Good point. You'd better write in and tell them they got it wrong.

Yes it is a word. It is just that Countdown is a world on its own.
Glaciate means to polish by ice action, to subject to the action of land ice; to freeze.

By all means say it is not a word that Countdown accepts, but please do not say 'No !'; and in such a godlike manner. Even if you are god.

Whether or not something is a word depends on your dictionary, so either everything is a word, or you have to either imply (or state explicitly) what dictionary you're using. To say "yes it is a word" strikes me as acting just as 'godlike' as saying it isn't. Except the latter has the advantage of being relevant here.
