Finally I manage to get through an entire Numbers Attack without fucking one up! And it only took ten months.

My best ever game. 11 maxes, i am immensely proud. Shame i didnt get my second ever 100 with a relatively simple conundrum miss.

Let myself down a few games later , but had more than half an eye on the cricket.

Very, very good. Better than some of the max games, if I'm honest.

Project 'Goatdown Standard' gets me a top 20 placing on the scoreboard. Would've been higher if I didn't bottle GASOLENE & DIOPTASE (both sowpods regulars). Next up- 140+ and 13/15.

Marcus Hares has a habit of bringing high scores out of me. I've only ever played him 4 times, and now 2 of those have been record highs in bullet rounds. This one increases the Bullet 9 record by 1, and is also the first Bullet 9 perfect game. Clearly the rounds were all fairly nice, easy selections but Marcus Hares can do that somehow. The other record game I had with him was a 126 in Bullet 15.

In pursuit of Chris Davies' Touchdown Letters Attack record, things weren't looking good after the first half. Even 6 nines in the second half only netted me the 2nd highest score ever. Still, I'm reasonably happy with that.

I've only had about two or three standard numbers attacks better than this, I suppose the fact that they were all one larges blemishes it a bit.

though it should be noted that this was a pretty flat and therefore easy game, even for touchdown!

Yeah, I think I will apply as soon as you can for the new series. But I can't be a one-hit wonder, I need to be consistent.

No, consistent as in scoring 100 in one game and then getting hammered in the next consistent

I was so nervous Jack! I remembered SENSORIA because I saw ONANISERS^ and I think it has come up before from those letters, I am not sure. I was expecting Innis to do a Kirk and buzz in on 0.9 secinds with MUJAHEDIN or something!

Innis told me he got ACREAGE late and I think with a little more time he would have got HAIRPIN so then the conundrum wouldv'e been crucial and I hate crucial conundrums!
