Spoilers for Thursday October 29th 2015 (S73 P82)
Andrew Irvine got his second win yesterday, but probably not a second teapot for his collection. Can he at least continue to add to his win collection with number 3?

I thought her being on and doing well would please you. I was equal on score until the last three rounds.Jennifer Steadman wrote:#FashionWatch2k15: Hazel rocking a cute flowery headband in her first game like peak Steadman.

Mind you for Andrew that was an early morning show after the late night finish (21:00) of the previous show
and if he is like me he never got a wink of sleep in between because of the hype.

Apparently she's the first female winner of an ep in 2 months

Interesting, MILEAGES and MILAGE(S) don't seem to be valid any more.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday October 29th 2015 (S73 P82)
I'm enjoying the fact that MILEAGE is listed as a mass noun, yet all 3 of the example sentences for the first definition use 'mileages'.Graeme Cole wrote:Interesting, MILEAGES and MILAGE(S) don't seem to be valid any more.

Weirdly it finds the entry for MILEAGE if you type MILAGE.
Who does Andrew Irvine remind me of? I was thinking maybe Joe Cornish, but is there a better match?

Re: Spoilers for Thursday October 29th 2015 (S73 P82)
How long has it been since the last time a round contained two Ys (assuming this was not actually a typo)?
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

When I watched earlier today I thought Susie was implying this, but having just watched again (to check that I was happy with the comments I was about to make) I have the impression that a bit might've been edited out.Graeme Cole wrote:Interesting, MILEAGES and MILAGE(S) don't seem to be valid any more.

I'm pretty sure what's on the wiki is a mistake, and it was two Ts, not two Ys.Johnny Canuck wrote:How long has it been since the last time a round contained two Ys (assuming this was not actually a typo)?

However, to answer the question, two Ys haven't appeared in the same round since episode 3142 in 2001, and it appears that nowadays there is only one Y in the consonant pile anyway.Graeme Cole wrote:I'm pretty sure what's on the wiki is a mistake, and it was two Ts, not two Ys.Johnny Canuck wrote:How long has it been since the last time a round contained two Ys (assuming this was not actually a typo)?
For a brief time from late 2009 to early 2010 they seem to have experimented with two Ys, although they never appeared in the same round. Apart from that, all games since 2001 have featured at most one Y each.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday October 29th 2015 (S73 P82)
Ah, OK. I suspected that putting multiple copies of such an uncommon letter in the pile would be none too wise.Graeme Cole wrote:I'm pretty sure what's on the wiki is a mistake, and it was two Ts, not two Ys.Johnny Canuck wrote:How long has it been since the last time a round contained two Ys (assuming this was not actually a typo)?
Thanks for answering my question too.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday October 29th 2015 (S73 P82)
In a recent episode she said that something was "clearly listed" as a mass noun AND didn't take a plural form in the examples - so I think the latter has started to be taken into account? Which would make mileages valid. But who knows.Gavin Chipper wrote:Susie seemed to deliberately evade the plural thing.Clive Brooker wrote:When I watched earlier today I thought Susie was implying this, but having just watched again (to check that I was happy with the comments I was about to make) I have the impression that a bit might've been edited out.Graeme Cole wrote:Interesting, MILEAGES and MILAGE(S) don't seem to be valid any more.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday October 29th 2015 (S73 P82)
Because the MILAGE spelling seems to have been dropped, there shouldn't have been any need to talk about the plural question at all. I think she was expecting to have to, was shocked not to find MILAGE specified, and unsurprisingly wasn't as coherent as she might have been after that. I can't see any reason to doubt that MILEAGES will still be allowable (when it's in the selection).Gavin Chipper wrote:Susie seemed to deliberately evade the plural thing.Clive Brooker wrote:When I watched earlier today I thought Susie was implying this, but having just watched again (to check that I was happy with the comments I was about to make) I have the impression that a bit might've been edited out.Graeme Cole wrote:Interesting, MILEAGES and MILAGE(S) don't seem to be valid any more.
