Discuss anything that happened in recent games. This is the place to post any words you got that beat Dictionary Corner, or numbers games that evaded Rachel.
Funny they were talking about parody songs, as the word they missed in R8, BHOONAS, features in one of Chris Moyles's
parody songs with the alternate spelling - about when Comedy Dave didn't get his dish in the Indian restaurant -
"My Lamb Bhuna" (to the tune of "Hallelujah").
I predicted neither player would solve 955 but was also shocked when Rachel didn't get it in time.

I got that too. Surprised Rachel didn't get the answer within the time though.
Yeah, as it was almost right there in front of her, but hey-ho.
Thought it was good when James told Nick, after his comment about maths teachers, that he worked it out by then, and in a different way. Probably that way.
Looks like piskie isn't in then. Piskies occasionally comes up as an alternative spelling of pixies, but maybe ODO spells the singular with a Y only, even though googling it will find it with an 'ie'.
