Sod it, I wasn't humiliated at CoLin (except by Jono) so I'll have a stab.

Oooh thanks I was reading down the list of names then and thought for one horrible moment that I'd been banned for whatever reason

Re: COMA Play-ins
FIX
(Kai - when's good for you? I'm available pretty much whenever, although I'm going to Oxford for the weekend so if we're to play before then it would need to be tomorrow evening.)

Re: COMA Play-ins
Pick an evening, Innis, and I should be able to fit a game in. Except Sunday or Monday.

I think I'm going to be on a coach then - the next earliest I could play would be Sunday evening, though any evening next week should be alright too.Kai Laddiman wrote:Raccoon: I'll try and be on today, about 6pm. Will that do? If not, I'm free Saturday (mostly).

Only just seen this, if anyone pulls out then I'm available.
If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

Re: COMA Play-ins
When's good for you Ben? Any time tomorrow (afternoon/ evening) should be fine, or Sunday morning, or there are a few other random times I can be online if we still haven't played it.

Re: COMA Play-ins
Raccoon Boy 101 - 91 Kai
I should point out that Kai typoed both of the 4-large number games (which I appear to be hideously bad at at the moment). So in short I'm a lucky bastard (sorry Kai).

Re: COMA Play-ins
Can the remaining games be played by Wednesday night at the very latest, please? I want to get the tourney proper started by the 15th of March (bearing in mind it was originally slated to end a mere week later).

I tried speaking to James on apterous a short while ago and I got no repsonse. If he can give me a time I'll be there.

An epic against James in a game of three thirds. James had typed the S in R16 so less than a second in it. Great stuff!!

Re: COMA Play-ins
Well played Jimmy - just edged me out. Great game though, thought I was right out of it after the dodgy early rounds. I should learn to not play after work though
