[Kai Laddiman]

[James Robinson]

Very nice, Kai. It's nice to see the school system isn't failing on numeracy and literacy skills.

[Marc Meakin]

hehehehe

Teacher training day?

[Kai Laddiman]

hehehehe

Teacher training day?

Yup.

Warm-up con: INSETDAYS

[Ben Hunter]

Did anyone here have 'Baker Day' instead of teacher training day?

[Matt Morrison]

I hope this turns into a joke about having a day off to masturbate at home to Jacqueline Baker. It was you who fancied her wasn't it? Haha.

LOL, it just did turn into a joke about having a day off to masturbate at home to Jacqueline Baker.

Did anyone here have 'Baker Day' instead of teacher training day?

No. When I started teaching they called them INSET days and I had to ask what this was and they looked at me funny! We always called them teacher training days (self explanatory) but nowadays they like to call them INSET.

[Michael Wallace]

They were always called INSET days when I was at school - maybe it's an LEA specific thing?

[Sue Sanders]

TRAIPSES for 8 too in rnd 3

Great opener Kai.

[Marc Meakin]

RASPIEST for a DC equaller

[Chris Davies]

ORGANONS, round 4.

I remember 'Baker Days' only, unfortunately, not whilst I was still at school. In my day...you just went to school.

Suzy said RESPITES was the only 8 for round 3. Surprised they all missed PASTRIES on a Friday aftenoon. Wish I had one now!!

I've just finished making chocolate brownies, caramel sauce and avocado ice cream!

There was at least 5 eights in round 3

[Ben Hunter]

I should mention my school was a farm house bakery and they put me in the kiln when I was naughty.

[Marc Meakin]

YIELDER for round 11

[Helen James]

REMODEL for a 7 round 11

[Sue Sanders]

REEDILY, do you reckon??

I like Penny Smith.

[JackHurst]

Yay a century

[Marc Meakin]

REEDILY, do you reckon??

I like Penny Smith.

I am afraid it cannot REYIELD a 7 http://www.apterous.org/lexplorer.php?word=reedily

I liked her too, she seems to bring out the best in Jeff

[Kirk Bevins]

REYIELD/REEDILY not in but YIELDER is.

ARCHLUTES for a 9 in round 1 as a beater.

[Martyn Simpson]

There was also PASTRIES in round 3 for 8 points.

[Kirk Bevins]

In round 3 there was PASTRIES for an equaller.

[James Robinson]

Yeah, I got PASTRIES too.

Sue, AVOCADO ice cream. You've just spoiled something very dreamy there!

Alternative to 2nd numbers:

50 x 2 = 100

100 + 7 = 107

6 / 3 = 2

10 - 2 = 8

107 x 8 = 856

[JimBentley]

I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but PASTRIES was available in round 3.

[Matt Morrison]

Round 3: I think PASTIES was there.

[Marc Meakin]

Round 3: I think PASTIES was there.

Yes but did anyone get PIASTRES

[Phil Reynolds]

I too got REEDILY in round 11 and was gobsmacked to find that it's apparently not allowed. REEDY, REEDINESS, REEDIER and REEDIEST are all in. How else does a person with a reedy voice speak if not reedily?

In other news: did anyone notice Rachel jumping on the meerkat bandwagon when she said "Simples" after writing down the solution to the first numbers?

That advert demonstrates viral marketing at its most effective.

I knew there was some reason we stayed in touch

Round 3: I think PASTIES was there.

I hope a hungry Jason Larsen isn't reading this - pasties means something very different in America!

[Ian Volante]

Occasional days for us.

[Sue Sanders]

Round 3: I think PASTIES was there.

Yes but did anyone get PIASTRES

No, but I've just become ARSIEST - but I guess the chocolate brownie calories are gonna end up somewhere. I was given 4 avocados destined for the bin at the greengrocer's yesterday; avocado ice cream seemed like a sensible thing to do with them and it was divine, James.

Yeh lol.

Also can you have PASTRIES in Rd 4?

[James Robinson]

Fair enough, although I think that either Raspberry Ripple or Neapolitan ice cream is more heavenly than avocado ice cream.

But that's just my opinion. This is a democracy (of sorts). I'm not saying that you're not allowed to say what you think.

[Kirk Bevins]

But that's just my opinion. This is a democracy (of sorts). I'm not saying that you're not aloud to say what you think.

Or even allowed.

No, it was Sue Sanders he was replying to - he was right the first time
