Hello
Hi, everyone!
I haven't been gone because I was upset about the past, but rather I had a very bad virus.
I did not update my Norton subscription in time and as a result a box appeared in the right-hand corner of my computer. I was on a secure site at the time. The box was telling me that my computer was infected, but, much to my surprise, all those infections were fake. I had installed a program called Security Tool on my computer. It turned out I had a worm that was trying to locate my credit card details to buy the software.
Unfortunately, my computer had to be reformatted and I had to redownload my torrent program.
The good news is, my cable company provides Norton all the time for free.
I will post more Countdown episode reviews starting on Monday, so, don't panic. It will be ok.

Cut the crap jason, you were wanking weren't you?
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: Hello
Jason you won't satisfy me until you've done the Countdown recaps you promised months ago and applied for the show as you won my poll.

Re: Hello
OK Jason, I understand that.
Still no excuse for these recaps you continually promise but don't deliver.

Re: Hello
Jason how is it irrelevant that I'm deeply upset and hurt that your not delivering your many promises of Countdown recaps?

Re: Hello
And Jason, how is Jeff Stelling Countdown's Drew Carey? Does Drew read sports results out? I don't think the two men are similar at all. Please remove your signature at once. It offends me.

Re: Hello
Jason why have you bowed down to Kirk's request but not mine?
Mine is far more reasonable.

Re: Hello
Douglas, believe it or not, it was Kirk who said you wouldn't be upset about the former matter.
I made my second signature for three reasons:
1. Just like Drew Carey, Jeff Stelling almost turned down the job to host his respective show (Jeff on Countdown, Drew on The Price is Right)
2. Just like Drew, Jeff possesses Drew's excitable manner
3. Just like Drew, Jeff supports English football (or American soccer.) I don't think he'll make a special trip to Seattle for me to root for the Sounders. I don't think he cares where Qwest Field is anyway. Qwest Field is where the Sounders as well as the Seahawks (our professional American football team) play.
I have removed my signature. I hope that makes you happy, Kirk.

Re: Hello
Jason I'm very upset about the lack of recaps and the lack of explantion, regardless of what Kirk says.

Re: Hello
Douglas...Jason was upset, apologising profusely to me privately on apterous that he hasn't sent reviews out. I told him not to worry and I'm sure people aren't waiting for them. You're giving him mixed signals.Douglas Wilson wrote:Jason I'm very upset about the lack of recaps and the lack of explantion, regardless of what Kirk says.

Re: Hello
Hey Kirk, I'm not having a go at Jason I'm just wondering where these recaps are considering Jason has time to post irrelevant stuff all over the forum I thought it would be a better use of his time to do these recaps and he has promised them quite a lot!
Like I said don't want to upset anyone though.

Re: Hello
Dearie Me.
Jason I think some of this may be teasing. I hope nothing more.
Teasing can be open to misunderstanding.
Don't worry and good wishes.
