Re: Countdown-ey Jokes
Apterous-y joke, admittedly, but comes with the Bayfield stamp of approval:
Alternative name for Spoilage Letters Attack: "Finding Pneumo-"

Mike Brown: "Round 12: T N R S A E I G U
C1: SIGNATURE (18) ["9; not written down"]
C2: SEATING (7)
Score: 108–16 (max 113)
Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."

I fancied some salad for tea so went into the greengrocers to buy all the stuff you have with it. There was a small queue there and shortly after that, I turned round and it was only Liam Herringshaw, who has currently put a run of wins together on Countdown.
Well it got to my turn and the assistant ignored me and went straight to Liam.
I said, "Oi! I was before him..."
But the assistant said, "Sorry, he's the current Countdown champion so he gets first pick of the lettuce.."

I've always hoped that if someone offers "Urinating" Susie will reply "But there's no P in the selection...."

Re: Countdown-ey Jokes
I think it's a reference to the NODE (the dictionary used on the show from 2000-2003) but in addition to being out of date, it doesn't work at all as a joke, as NODE would be pronounced "noddy", not "node".Hugh Binnie wrote:I genuinely do not get this at all.Rhys Benjamin wrote:What's the name of the positive electrode?

I know Richard Whiteley always pronounced it "noddy" but I don't think he's the ultimate arbiter. I've always pronounced it "node".JimBentley wrote:I think it's a reference to the NODE (the dictionary used on the show from 2000-2003) but in addition to being out of date, it doesn't work at all as a joke, as NODE would be pronounced "noddy", not "node".Hugh Binnie wrote:I genuinely do not get this at all.Rhys Benjamin wrote:What's the name of the positive electrode?
